I saw that. You have either have a serious software problem or your hard drive may be about ready for a dirt nap.

When was the last time you did a defrag? I have seen where a bad hard drive will make software act strange, that one case drove me nuts for the longest time before I figured it out.

Thanks.

The hard drives are new—less than 8 months old. C drives—raid backup mode.

I have another HD or two that are reasonably new.

And most of my files I store on flash drives 4 Gig (3 flash drives) and a 2 gig and a 1 gig flash drive. The only thing on the C drive is the software and the webshots photos for my screen saver and wall paper.

Conceivable but IIRC, the problem was erratically present before I replaced my HD’s . . . and since.

What dual boot software do you recommend—in temrs of the DUAL BOOT package to manage the dual boot?

Oh, I defrag my HD every 3-4 days to weekly.

I use SYS MECH TO RECLAIM MEMORY FROM XP’S HORRID MEMORY LEAK 1-2 TIMES EVERY 24 HOURS. Whenever my system has been on several hours—it needs memory reclaimed.

THAT CAN HELP the keying problem. Seemingly not 100% of always, though.
