It is just the FMP window and it is once or twice in about 5 seconds. I
have noticed now, that if I alt+tab to another application or applications
and go back to FMP then it will do it within 5 seconds of being back in
FMP
and it will do it once or twice in about a 3 seconds. I have the evga.com
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 with 256 MB ram on the video card. I would guess
that it was a physical issues that cause my hard drive to crash. Becuase
since I put in the new hard drive I am not having any probelms. I haven't
went went back to the old driver on my video card yet, which I am going to
try.
Thanks,
Carl
