Jeff, You also want to momentarily disable any real time scanners such as anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewalls. Also, if the driver was updated from the Windows Update site you may want to uninstall it and install the original (manufacturers) drivers. I have had issues in the past with WU drivers. Check out this site for assistance: http://driveragent.com/?PHPSESSID=13da5f51e8b00acd2a95b35c5cb2b65f Also, you may to scan the PC for problems/issues. Here's a pretty good site for that: http://www.pcpitstop.com/default.asp HTH JohnB. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Bob Geldart Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 12:26 PM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Dialup and Internet Explorer Make sure there are no hidden windows waiting for a response (cookie alerts, etc). Every once in a while my wife will call for help for non-responsive programs, and I've found that to be a common problem.
