There are a few things you haven't mentioned - and some that need to be
checked.....
1) Have you applied the 'VCache tweak'??
In System.ini - under the [vcache] section header, you need to add the line
MaxFileCache=512000
(and ONLY that line - it should be the only line in that section)
2) what version of NAV? - if it's 2004, then it could be causing your
problems
3) Put the side panels back on- your PC is designed to have a particular
airflow pattern, and leaving the panels off disrupts this flow - and can
make a bad situation worse!!
4) what problems are you having with WMP9? - perhaps a look through here
will help...

See what the results of that are - post back if you need more
