(Fri 17:08 03/Jul/09)I may have answered, but I am afraid your swearing put me off.

(Sat 11:44 04/Jul/09)I couldn't care less about swearing (especially when it's only implied) but, as the Internet evolved over a period of around 30 years, and has been running non-stop ever since, I can't work out what you mean by "When I launch the Internet".

thanks rojash. I mean when I open it up. Launch was obviously the wrong word to use.

(Sat 16:48 04/Jul/09)The same happened to me when I upgraded to IE8. I have an ancient but very high-spec graphics card which didn't like IE8 (nor IE7 for that matter). So, I changed my broswer to Firefox and the problem ceased and hasn't recurred. It's a software conflict you've got. Try switching to Firefox and see what happens.

Thanks Quicksilver, but I am already using firefox, have been for some time though the problem is quite recent.
rojash
(Sun 16:40 05/Jul/09)So what you actually meant was "When I open Firefox"?
First thing to do is disable all your Firefox add-ons, and see if the problem goes away. If it does, re-enable them one at a time to see which one is causing the problem.
