Erlik, i had problems with copying files..it looks like i found the problem after two days of nearly pulling my hair out and snarling at the wife when she spoke to me. I had put another 512mb ram in and after removing that everything worked fine..i should leave the adding of ram to those that know what to do. On this mother board there are 3 slots for ram, 2 run along side each other and the other is about 1/4-1/2 an inch away from them, i had placed the new ram in one of the 2 slots that run along side each other leving my old ram in its original slot. I have a strange feeling i was ment to run my old ram and the new ram in those two slots that run side by side...

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
