This is true.  I am really hoping that I am not having hardware issues 
already with this machine.  Maybe I should have noted, that it only 
freezes and has problems when my girlfriend is using it for school 
trying to take online tests and classes through IEs4linux.  She has to 
use IEs4linux because the site that she has to use to take her online 
courses do not like Firefox in Linux.  She uses Firefox on her windows 
laptop at her house for these sites without any problems.  But if you 
try to access the sites through Firefox in Linux, you get an error 
saying that the site only works under IE or Netscape.

So I installed IEs4Linux to see if that would work, and it did, except 
when she went to take a test, the computer froze.  And it keeps freezing 
(at different points I might add) when she tries to take a test on the 
site.  I apologize that I was not more specific with my first email, but 
maybe this is the issue?
