Hi guys,

You all have such great computer knowledge maybe you can help me with this one.

After about 18 mo of solid performance, my PII  machine is giving me a 
headache.  It's locking up as soon
as I try to launch a program, especially a graphic one like 
Photoshop.  First symptom was when I could
no longer drag and drop files in Windows Explorer.  Now if I try to do 
that, it locks up, too.

So...I tried usual trouble shooting things.

Pulled all boards except video card...no joy
Reloaded Widows...no joy
Tonight I managed to get everything backed up to another drive and 
REFORMATED the C drive and reinstalled Windows.

Guess what?  Still freezes up, just moving files and/or creating shortcuts.

OK...do I have a motherboard problem or a hard drive problem.  Seems to 
lock whether I'm trying to move
files from either my C or D drives.

CD Rom works and loads software, but as soon as I try to do anything in the 
graphical interface, BINGO...locks up.

HELP.

Larry, N0XB
