Thanks, date reset. I used DW and optimized the directory.That didn't help. A friend suggested the noise might be coming from the speakers. He's right, but I don't know why. When I hear the noise if I touch any of the keys which control the sound, the noise stops, for a very short time. It doesn't matter if I up the volume, turn it down, or off. The noise stops for about 30 seconds, then comes back.
