Hey Beamer, I had alot of trouble with studders then.....Last night i had trouble getting in the game at ALL. Skuzzy told me that some problems have been occuring to those who have downloaded the new IE7 (me). The problem lies in the active toolbars. I got rid of all my useless toolbars and that seemed to help. I also defragged.
Not sure if thats your problem....I just wanted to let ya know what I had going on:D
