1. computer locks up randomly when I do something.
It can be anything as long as it's something I do and not just som
random automated task (EG: clicking an app icon to open a program, o
saving something, or clicking a link in FF, or applying an effect in
gfx program, you name it)

2. after it's frozen for a few seconds I hear my external hard driv
being accessed and then it unfreezes.

And I don't have any programs installed on the external, it's just fo
storing files.

I know this is hardly enough info to diagnose unless you've had th
same problem. Just let me know of any more info that would be helpfu
or anything I can try.

thank you so so much in advance. I like you all,

indexing service and
or your anti virals
that are scanning.

that's just fancy talk for "I have no idea how to fix it."

Thanks for the KB reference oh wise sorcerer of the forums, but th
post was obviously not a claim to actually have the strangest proble
ever. I thought that was apparent because such a claim in subjectiv
anyway.

I asked on another forum and they were actually more helpful then
could ever have anticipated. I've actually never met a bunch as nic
and helpful. Maybe if you were the nice sort this forum would b
flourishing as much as others.

I'll look around for some kind of KB reference about not being
condescending jerk. I'll even PM it to you if you want

I feel like you just said that. oh wait - you did. you just said the
exact same thing twice. I will never read that article. I'm not posting
in a newsgroup. it's a forum. and I've been posting in newsgroups and
forums for 10 years. If you have some sort of problem with the syntax
or method I choose to use, I don't need a special note telling me about
it.

thanks.
 
Top posting - can`t be bothered to snip :
You might be posting from a forum , but being on the net , all
postings are being seen on a newsgroup as in
microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support
and I can read it using Agent newsreader/reader.
