Really?  I thought it was only because my personal pc has so little memory.   I run into that behavior with explorer and playing mp3's at the same time.  This also becomes a problem when burning a cd or changing formats, and even though I leave it alone, sometimes it ends up a bit garbled.

How much memory do you have, EP?  If I remember right you are the gamer and bought the big huge system for the pc games? -----Original Message-----
