Could it be that the drive that holds the directory where the browser's 
temp file is located could be running out of storage space?
Are you monitoring CPU loading (I use MenuMeters)? Perhaps your CPU is 
not keeping up.


It could very well be. Thanx for your help guys. I am going to look 
into that HD full thing. I need to get a bigger HD anyway so maybe that 
will help fix the problem. I'm also going to try to get that MenuMeters 
and check the CPU.
Thanx again.
