Hi, I am constantly getting the spining color wheel when using the computer. It spins for 5-10 seconds each time and then disappears. I got it two times when just trying to type these first two sentences. I have a G4, 400 MHz, 1 GB Ram. The spinning wheel pops up when I am just typing sentences in a document, just scrolling up or down a page, or right in the middle of playing a game. At first I thought it had something to do with my internet speed so I am now upgraded to 8 meg. Nothing has changed. I have tied emptying cache and using different browsers. Neither helped. It also takes about ten seconds to switch from tab to tab. Any ideas on what could be causing this. My brother-in-law switched our computer from a G3 to G4 and we never had this problem with the G3. He says the G4 should be faster but we never noticed a difference. It did not do this when he first switched the towers.
