Recently the screen started freezing or hanging now and then (this isn't correlated with anything I can spot). It will usually unfreeze after 30-60 seconds or so. Is there any likely cause for this? Would it be sensible to reinstall Emacs (I'd rather not have to, but it's almost unusable as is, so would if it were likely to help). My Emacs: GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2.2600) of 2001-10-22 on buffy Thanks for any thoughts, CS
