Instead of comparing Opera to Mozilla, you should try comparing Opera to Phoenix. I think you will find Phoenix to be a much better product than Phoenix... and it's based on the gecko engine too: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/phoenix-release-notes.html (it's a lot faster and has more features than Mozilla too) Cheers!

Does anyone have problems running (or even just installing) Red Alert 2 on Win XP + SP1? My friend keeps on getting an error message with some "do you want to debug" thing.

Once in a while when I boot XP, a blue screen telling me that I should check my C: for errors comes up. It does this CHKDSK thing, but it usually never finds errors. However, there was this one time when it actually deleted a Windows DLL file, which actually prevented me from logging into my machine! It took me a couple days to track down exactly which DLL it deleted... what a pain in the butt. Is there a way to disable this autochecking ? Thanks[/b]

Hey guys, that's not the final release... You'll want to check out: http://www.mozillaquest.com/Mozilla_News_02/Mozilla_1-0-0_release-sneak_Story02.html for the sneak release. For more info, go to: www.mozillaquest.com or go over to EFNET and check out #Mozilla

Just wondering, how do you know this is 1.0 final?

I might get a new computer soon... but I'm pretty happy with the performance of this one. Don't really see a need for a new computer now though... we'll see.

I've just started having this problem recently. When I boot up, everything is working fine, and then after, so many minutes of use, XP will begin forgetting that some applications (eg. Winamp) are supposed to be ON TOP. Like, all I'm doing is using IE and surf around, and then I'll notice that Winamp (or ICQ, it doesn't matter what app) is behind the IE window. If I bring up a different app, it'll also show on top of Winamp/ICQ. If I bring Winamp back in the foreground, and go back to IE, it'll work, but only for a couple minutes, and then it'll go back behind another window. Anyone else have this problem? It's very annoying!

Well, if you have a password to your account (Control Panel -> User Accounts), and you select "display welcome screen on resume", then it will essentially be password protected. (it's the equivalent of pressing Windows Key + L)

thanks, I'll check it out... (I guess I should back up, huh?)... eeps

I've scanned my disk with both chkdsk /f and chkdsk /r Both scans turn up no problems on my system/swap drive. I've also tried the Via IDE tool, but that didn't help either. argh... But I want to thank everyone for their help!

How does one scan for bad clusters in Windows XP? And as for VIA drivers.... I've installed the latest... 4.37a or something like that... but how does one know they are installed? All the drivers in Device Manager still say Microsoft Publisher with an old date stamp.

Well, it's not the Power Saving feature... that's been off since I've installed XP (fresh install) It's really annoying... this Hard Drive "pause". I might have experienced this in 2000 too... The thing is, I'm running a few services, such as IIS with Coldfusion... this computer I use as a developmental platform so I can test my own Coldfusion apps, etc. As for boot time... my computer varies in that department. Sometimes my hard drive will make constant noise, and boot up rather quickly. However, other times (about 50/50), it will be do that stupid "pause" while booting up! Like, I've put my ear right be the hard drive, and you'll hear a little "tick" every couple seconds... and then, after about 10 seconds of ticks, the hard drive will start making noise and complete the boot. And this problem occurs 50/50 to applications too. Sometimes after I boot up, I start my Email client as my first app. Sometimes it's fast, sometimes the hard drive pauses. WTF!?? Very frustrating. My hard drive is 100% defragged... but it doesn't seem to help. ARGH.

thanks, but yes, it's using Ultra DMA mode 3.
