no... you're not being a know-it-all, you're speaking from experience.
but I may work on starting my computer with a clean slate...

Adam!

You should run the System Configuration Utility and uncheck everything, then check the top one, reboot and try EQ to see if it conflicts. If not check the next one and so on until you find the culprit that's interfering. I know it's a long process, but it is the only way to find out which one is the problem, except for running nothing in startup at all.

Glad to help!

Startup Programs cause most of the Windows memory problems. It's the first place I look to solve lockup issues.

No, not the Maintenance Wizard. What is your OS?

Click: Start
Click: Run
Type: msconfig and click OK
