"That is a proble that I have never herd of occuring, execpt in a general case (will happen in most programs) when your computer is running low on resources."

Thanks for the response, however, I don't think that's the case. As I said, it occurs even after a reboot (both soft & hard).

The only time I have had freezes like this occur with other programs in the last 6 months or so is when Xolox is running. I close Xolox and everything works fine. The only resource hog on my system is Xolox itself.
