Yes, there is continuous disk activity...it just seems to never shut up, LOL.
This only began the past 4 weeks, I switched to WLM late June.
I am on Windows XP Home.
I have 5 WLM accounts: (4) HTTP (1) POP3
I have my mail set to check every 5 minutes.
Based on earlier advice, I disabled the Norton360 email scan.
I also use MS Laser Mouse 600 which I know has driver issues which I have
addressed.
I've been computing since early TRS-80 and consider myself adept enough to
upgrade my PCs (this is my 4th PC) but, as they say, just when you know all
the answers they change the questions, LOL.
You guys are really terrific on this forum, appreciate the help.
