Hhhhmmm. This isn't a solution I'm afraid, just a similar tale of woe
and it's only recently started happening...like withn the last week or
so, but it doesn't happen all the time. If I reboot my PC, it seems to
go away for a while. I'm running zone alarm pro, which I think is
probably the culprit, but I don't know why and I don't know what to do
to fix it. I haven't changed any of my other settings during that
time, and I'm running AVG Anti-virus, so I don't think it's a virus.
Any ideas gratefully appreciated.
