thanks for the information. Originally, I was getting a lot of "not responding" on programs. I don't remember the Hoster ever failing though. Recently, I can here the motor on the hard drive laboring when running. The laptop is 4 years old and has been used a lot, that is why I believe the hard drive is going bad and will replace it. I had a computer geek look at the "not responding" issue and he came up with nothing. Lately, this issue has been mimiumal.
