   Hello me, its me again...   
      
   I fixed it in the BIOS. I'm sure it was this setting that did it:   
   Its an Award bios btw....go into   
   Advanced Chipset Features Option , AGP & P2P Bridge Control,   
   AGP Aperture Size...and set this to [32]   
      
   I saw something about that on a webforum and that was the fix :)   
      
   Now I can use Seamonkey for newsfroups.   
      
   Yay!
