WELCOME TO PCA!

This is the likely culprit: http://shrunklink.com?cga


Whole thread on this problem here: http://www.ingmar.dk/cgi-bin/aforum.isa?zaq=21rav1559a

Also something here about it which sound more related to media players:

Did this just start happening recently? If so you can try using System Restore to roll the computer back to a restore point PRIOR to the problem occuring. For a variety of technical reasons too long to explain, you want to go back AT LEAST 1 week before the problem happened, not just a day or two.

Hope this helps...
