nope, no device drivers installed (has to be the acer specific ones, otherwise everything goes to pot). Not installed any software for ages, so it can't be that, and i've run antivirus (MSE) and spybot scans as well. will rollback to just after SP1 went on, and then disable it all methinks... hope it stops the horrendous boot and explorer lags as well
Tis annoying cos the company i work for insist i use my own machine (they're too tight to buy me one - and refuse to accept that a full engine CAD model needs a 64 bit machine to display, which means they won't even get me the right OS...), but their stupid CAD software means i now can't do a full reinstall, cos the IT department have nicked the disk, and it's unlikely ever to be seen again (normally when they get stuff it gets sent to the HQ in the states, from whence it is never ever seen again)
