sto6ma9ch, Thanks for sharing the wealth. It work on my HP LiveStrong 
L2000. Now that my splash screen is not freezing, I have got another 
problem. My processor is running about 54% and I am not running any 
extra processes? Does anyone have any idea why? Again thanks sto5ma9ch 
for your help and thanks to anyone else that can help me with my other 
problem.
