System Restore took a while, but it worked magic. Disk speed back where it was . And surprisingly enough, the memory conflict is still there. Guess you were right - doesn't seem to matter.

Based on how/when it happened, my best guess is that something - a driver or the registry took a hit while I was listening to music w/ Winamp. For a few seconds, all kinds of crazy stuff happened - reverse video, incomplete pages all over the plpace then slow...Then it hung. When I rebooted, Scandisk found some errors and said the "volume is dirty" went down hill from there.

Thanks man. Gonna check out the car talk. I have a Cobra replica I would like to sell, maybe someone is interested.
