Any ideas on what might be causing this? I just upgraded from 80GB to 250GB hard drive yesterday using WinMFS.

When you used WinMFS what process did you use?
Backup/Restore or Copy?
I lost my backgrounds when doing backup/restore. Doing a full copy fixed mine.

I replaced the drive with the orginal drive, because even the video kept freezing up every few seconds.

You may want to low level format the drive and start over. Here is the tool

good luck :)

I ran Maxblast 4 full diagnostics test, and it said it passed all tests.
