Thanks again guys. I am wanting to test all these possibilities. I have not yet even looked in the bios to see if I can disable the hyper threading. And as you
seem to note that may not even be the problem. I have tried both SATA and IDE
hard drives in this computer with the same results. I have many portable K-Meleon
copies on the computer that are copies of the same ones that are on the other computers. I have tried fresh installs on here but that does not help. I had
Windows XP SP3. Downgraded to SP2 to see if that would help. It does not.
I have not added any extentions to any of the KM's. When someone makes a special
build with any I disable them. For instance one had ad block which I disabled.
Again it was of no help. I just leave the plugins set at their default except
for usually enabling Bookmarks, Favorites and the Hotlist.
I do not believe in things that slow my computer. So I have never used any
real time anti virus protection. I think my security setup is possibly
strong enough as in any year all I may pick up is maybe 1 item that SpyBot
or my anti virus scanner rates as nothing more than a mere annoyance.
So the only real time protection I use is my old Kerio 2.1.5, SpyBot,
SpywareBlaster and ScripTrap. This is ScripTrap
http://keir.net/scriptrap.html
I have also tried Script Defender instead. It is here:

I have tried Trust-No-Exe but am not currently using as I got a bit lazy
about adding new programs into it. It is here:
http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/trust-no-exe/trust-no-exe.htm
Also I do not even let my Clam Win antivirus run to check for updates
when I'm not using it. I do manula updates.
And here is the information from about:plugins on one of my problem KM's.
Sure hope someone sees something there. :s
