hi happened again last night did read somewere that it could be the nvidea firewall ,so have turned that of and will see what happens,also if all else fails will be getting a new hard drive soon and will have a fresh install on it,as the drive i have at the mo is from my old machine which has a preinstalled xp on it and i recently put xp pro on it and it asks me what operating system to use when booting ,so maybe there is a few conflicks although i have removed all the old drivers from the old system when i formated the drive ,so all that was on the drive was the preinstalled xp in a partion.
