Hi, My first thought was RAM, but it's not impossible, but highly unlikely RAM goes on two computers in the same house at the same time. It could be other security software certainly, but just as likely as it is to be that than MSE. Softwares, software. <smiles> Barry. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Vince Thacker Sent: 17 January 2012 23:11 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Problem with Computer Freezing for A Second at a Time Eleanor, sounds unlikely that MSE would cause a problem like that, as it is usually pretty easy-going. You don't by any chance have another anti-malware program running? It might be an idea to switch it off if you have. Have you updated anything else lately, such as your screen reader? Have you done a cleanup lately with something like CCleaner? If not, that might help. This is all sheer guesswork, of course.
