Okay guys. I want to thank you for your inputs! For the record, I'm sorry I didnt mention this; I AM running a brand new retail Win 2000 Pro build 2195, (I'm a PC engineer for a local biz - overloaded with latest retail software). I am however wondering why I havent heard others with this problem. As far as what you've said, Yuppiescum, it couldnt have been the script debugger in IE5 as it is disabled in Win2k by default, as was in this case as well on my pc and in the registery. And strangely, as far as Dr Watson was concerned, unchecking the "create crash dump file" box, has proven not to fix this problem at all, as I've still gotten two more debugging problems after unchecking that. However the prob is fixed now. For anyone interested, I'll continue... After phisicaly deleting "drwatson.exe" "debug.exe" and "wowdeb.exe" and then optimizing the registery to delete any references of these files, the system is no more bugging with debugging. And If anyone is having similar probs; remember, you can do the exact thing, and in case you ever need a debugger, just install one of your own choice. Once again, thank you guys for helping me. ---Marcus signing offf!

Man, I'm losing my temper here with win2k! I love the OS but NOT microsoft! Now... another major problem. Why is it that there is some sort of a debugger installed on win2k pro by default?! Does MS think most web designers and standerd power users need another HEADACHE!! If they need it why isnt there just an option to enable/disable a debugger?! Anyway... here goes my prob. Sometimes an app will crash and when I try to manualy terminate it using the task manager, I will get the message "This progrem is being debugged, etc..." It takes about 5-8 minutes usually for it to end! Now this isnt exactly what I meant when I wanted to quickly terminate a proggy!....sick and disqusting microsoft is! I HATE I HATE I HATE THEM!... They are wasting away my LIFE on thoudsands of stupit bugs which I end up being the tester of! (told you I'm losing my temper with them!) Furthermore, I've deleted ALL and ANY (pointless) DRWATSON references from the registery and most 'debugger' entries not assocciated with java and such others. Now from my understanding DrWatson is Windows' default debugger. Why then is it still debugging when there IS NO DEBUGGER INSTALLED?! Once again, 15 minutes wasted on writing this, and all on account of microsoft's fukking, ultimite bug dripping OS. Anyhow... I'm desperete to finding a cure for this bugging, debugger issue. I beg anyone to please help me if they can! Thank you... ---Marcus signing offff! [This message has been edited by Marcus1 (edited 02 May 2000).]

Oh, I'm sorry, I should add that the problem happens while still in windows... e.g., I wait for the 'saving your files' dialog for 3 minutes and then for 'shuting down your system' for another 3 minutes. Please help me guys.

Please help me guys. Each time I shut down or restart my system, it takes about 5 minutes to fully reboot or shutdown! I could however use the power off button on my PC, but each time I do that scandisk is scaning my files on the next boot, thinking I had an illigal shut down. I'm sick of this microsoft ****. I want to blow them fukkkers up! Sorry... loosing my nerves here!

Well, no doubt you have a point. If theres also no EAX on the SBLIVE, then it seems totally pointless, as there wouldn't be ANY 3D hardware acceleration! Thanks to you as well. Although it seems I've tried everything, I'm going to try to make those betas work somehow or, I guess potentialy waiting for some form of a driver release from Aureal again.

Thanks Arin! I've come to the same conclusion. Nice overall game support. I'm going to get the SBlive X-GAMER. Thank you. marcus... signing offff!

Guys, I love the the win2k operating system for it's good memory and quite better stability than win9x. I was unfortunetly left no choice but to go back to old win98se ALL because my vortex2 wouldnt work under win2k, and those sucky beta's they posted only worked after the initial install, but after a restart the sound would just crap out again. Please help me, I have a win2k copy right on my desk and I'm hurt by only being able to look at it and nothing else, because of a sound card problem. I've email aureal support many times (losing my temper many times), until they just stopped to respond totally, lol. So, since It's been a while that I gave up, I'm now hoping there's a fix out so that I could finally install win2k again. Can anyone help me, please? Thanks guys.
