I dont know the english word for the startup items loading in the "systray" ? (volume, graphicscard icon etc etc) Upon starup, everything goes very fast, until the "systray" is suppose to load, then the system halts for about 10 seconds before the icons appear. Why is this happening? I know someone blamed the SBLive icon (AudioHQ), but removing that doesnt change anything for me. Can someone help me solve this? thanks for any info

Reformatted Im not putting any beta in until dx8 gets final. Of course I´ll keep trying those nvidia beta drivers out

Why is it, when I install the VIA 4in1 4.25a (that is suppose to include VIA IDE Busmaster latest version) all my HDDs are set to Generic IDE Disk Type 47? (This is on a completly new installed winME partition) If I install the separate IDE Busmaster 2149 all is OK, all drives are set to the right settings, but isnt this suppose to be ALL included in the 4.xx driver packs? Weird... thanks for any info ------------------ Athlon700@850 Asus K7V 128Mb Infineon PC133 SB Live Player Hercules Prophet II 64Mb 220/400 Samsung 19" 900NF DiamonTron

How do I put every service to its default? I dont know what happened, but I put every service to automatic, just to look more into what the services really do. Any way, now I cant put them back to manual, it goes half the way and then nothing. Booting in safemode doesnt help, I still cant put them as manual. Is there a solution for this? Can I somehow set all services to default? (Typical, but I dont have an repairdisk at this time either)

Since winME sux, and I find myself constantly using win2kpro nowadays, Im wondering how I can optimize gaming performance? Im on an slot-a Athlon700@850/Asus K7V/128Mb PC133/GF2GTS64Mb Is there anything special for Athlon/GF2 setups or something like that? Also, I noticed when playing "Soldier" that about 15min of play, the game got "shuggy" (dont know the english word), but kind of like stuttering, also reading from hdd. The hdd is a IBM 75GXP 30Gb. Any help, tips is appreciated. thanks

Thanks, however, I was thinking more of memory management tweaks. Any memory tweak guide for win2k?

I enabled the Nvidia "Quick Tweak" icon from the display properties to be loaded in the taskbar upon boot. But when I restart, its not there anymore. I have to add it again. Can someone help me? thanks

What does your system information say? I have no problems with ACPI in win2k, but I have some problems in winME. Do you have ACPI enabed? Could you post your Sharing/Conflicts information (your winME information)? thanks for any info here is my information: Last time it was enabled, in devicemanager, I choose "Refresh" and it gave a blue-screen error message. Something about "SCSI port failed". I dont have anything SCSI on this computer. Its working perfect in win2k.

Im running win2k pro / winME dualboot. In win2k, there is no problem with cdromplayer, but when I restart, or shutdown- power up to winME, my cdrom drive is gone. I tried reinstalling the IDE Busmaster but this doesnt help. System was working great all day until now, all of a sudden. I have only been using win2k today, and installed some apps etc, but ONLY on my D:\ (win2k) drive. Anyone have any ideas? additional information: Sometimes when I boot, the cdrom is there, and sometimes its not ! I dont get it, I seated the IDE cable firmly, even tried another one. I tried re-install VIA 4-1 drivers, even every driver separately. The VIA PCI IDE Busmaster is enabled, so its not that either. Last time it was enabled, in devicemanager, I choose "Refresh" and it gave a blue-screen error message. Something about "SCSI port failed". I dont have anything SCSI on this computer.

I installed Office2000, but the default Outlook Express installed by win2k is still there, part from the new installed Outlook. How can I uninstall the old one? thanks

Which ones are safe to turn off? Im only connected to the home LAN, I dont need any security or additional administration. Im starting out easy by playing around with settings before I move on to win2k server. thanks for any info ------------------

Or you can turn it off by: Rightclick desktop/Properties/Effects
