thanks for your suggestion. if i was to upgrade it would be to xp pro.

but i am relunctant to do so- learning the ins/outs of a new op sys. i am tired of learning.. actually burned out. i was around from Dos 3.0 and its subsequent upgrades and all the windows versions 3.1 to 98se.

it is funny, i am avoiding trying to upgrade to xp. but i would like to figure out what is the problem that i have.

does anyone else have any idea to consider why i freeze while scrolling up/down while on line?
