Sorry for the lapse.

There must be something goofy with this OS as a few other programs now randomly get slow (mostly Thunderbird when reply/fwding). I had also reset IE as you asked but that didnt fix anything. Being that I dont have much on this machine, I am just going restore the OS to the default state (Dell system restore).

Michael, I did do a dump log if you want it (as you had posted), but I won't ask you to spend time on it for my sake.

Thanks for the help. -Nick
