I have had this problem too.  I used the minimal cache also.  I fixed the      
problem by going into the computer and deleting the cache folder(to use 
WIN 95 terminology).  I actually think that this is the problem.  Someone 
sets the cache to a very large amount and it is left that way for a while.
Then someone (in this case me) sets the cache to a smaller number.  After
that I always get this problem (even if I set the cache back to its initial
value) until I delete the folder entirely.   

On that note, I am debating the inclusion of a batch file (or script) on     
boot up that will automate this cache folder deletion.  Has anyone done
this or have advice about it?  Are there problems that I could be inducing
that I haven't thought of? 

Thanks in Advance.
