| The browsing on Yahoo groups is better, but everything else has now

|
| Have also tried altering the hardware acceleration on various
| settings which make it worse when on 'none'
|
| Whilst offline and using something like AutoCAD, I now get a very
| sluggish mouse.

| I'm not sure if this is the correct newsgroup, but here we go.
|
| My system tends to seize/freeze for short periods whilst browsing
| the net (doesn't happen off the net at all, even when displaying avi
| files). Certain sites cause the seizing more than others, like;
| http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/motorhome-list or any page which
| has moving pictures. Its not guaranteed to seize, but it's a common
| occurrence with moving picture sites, again more likely the longer
| I've been on the net.
|
| My first reaction was that the seizing was caused by the graphics
| card (was only a basic video card, either 4 or 8 MB) so up-rated to
| a 64MB NVIDIA card without any change to the seizing
|
| I have run various programs to check for virus's and Trojans without
| finding anything.
| I have tried different browsers, again without any difference.
|
| Another thought was the modem, but after downloading the 'sites' it
| can seize, so not sure it likely to be the modem.
|
|
| May I thank anyone who has taken the time to read this and possibly
| help.
