alpha phi, thanks, that worked.
Now, I have to be honest here, it's been 1.5 years At least since I formatted and reinstalled. I know it's time to do it, but really, everything is running smoothely. I run AdAware at least twice a week and my virus software (ETrust EZ Antivirus) is always up to date. I have a router firewall with 128bit encryption. But the RAM usage bugs me. Thanks folks for the help. Here's the log:
