>I am going to install SP5 later today. If that doesn't fix my Task Manager issue (I doubt it will), I am just going to ceate a new user with my desktop and other settings and then rename me and rename the new user to me and things should be fine...I do wish I had some kind of explanation though.

Yes, SP5 is no big deal AFAIK, a Y2K fix and a security patch, something like that. Still, recommended...

BTW, I forgot to mention that I had major NS problems a few months ago with 4.0 going right to Blue Death sometimes. I moved to 4.6, and the problem disappeared. I have no idea why it started, probably some LAN system upgrade.
