uggh.. it's a tricky one to chase down. Sometimes you get lucky with driver updates, once you can narrow down which one is bogging down the calls. All the things we install on our systems now... timing for all those IRQ's... amazes me how things just don't throw up on themselves.

Wonder if that advanced timing control option they started supporting in the post XP OS's might help somehow... forget the name of it. Think my old PC had the option, but never used it because it was an XP box. Will have to poke around and read up on it to see if it might be worth looking at. Have to go get in car line to pick up the taru though... something to research later tonight.
