sorry gor the delay i been away for a bit, all of the upgrads where done one
at time, but i only noticed this poblem after the cpu upgrade, i have
searched high and low for amd athlon x2 6000+ drivers but found nothing, it
was only upgraded form an amd athlon x2 3800+ to gain 1ghz cpu speed.
could this also be the reason why the side bar smethime takes 50 cpu and of
231000k of memory or is this another problem
