It wont be worth the hassle probably. With nothing to gain over XP I wouldnt bother. But its your computer! vampy

Hi The only thing ive ever changed is the vid drivers and updated the via stuff(this never helped). The only set that I dont get it with are the 23.11s. The latest 27.xx are not as bad as pre 23.xx but still not good. Ive tried every "trick" posted here and elsewhere. Some work some to some extent most dont. The whole situation, whatever the cause is a huge pile of Sxxx!

There is that as well

Hi I did almost the same thing a while back, although im now back on xp, and everything has been fine. The changes that ms have made would appear to be slight. The only problems ive heard of are that some utils treat them differently but ive had no problems at all. NTFS never the f*****g same

This has just happened to me! The only different thing ive done recently is use a different reg cleaner, but it would be unlikely to be that.... switched on after a few hours and it was all gone

Hi For what its worth. I recieved a response from my card manufacturer to this prob. Among the usual stuff was " disable Write Combining", which was the only new thing I hadnt tried. Maybe this will help some body. Will post whole thing if anybody wants to read it. In the end I did not need to do any it as it all sorted itself with the 23.10/11 drivers.

AlecStaar The link seems to be wrong. Something to do with the copy and pasting of the url, as I just made the same mistake!!!! It should read. www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Hi guys Have installed 23.10's seem quite good. Same experience as Andyfair with the inf loop problem. I used to be able to induce this by playing with 3d screensavers!! Seems to be a slight speed hit though in some games. Its all going in the right direction!

Clone 3, nero and blindwrite

Cheers Dazultra2000: Thanks for the link. Will go and look. Yeah have seen it on an Oxygen card also, which uses Nvidea chipset.

Now only see bsod when changing between 3d screensavers with 22.88 drivers...mmmm. Better than it was though!

Microsoft have a fix that helps with xp support for some cd burners in the updates section. Hope this helps with some of your problems. Nero 5.5.5.1, Clone and Blindwrite works for me.

Wonder what I did with that diamond stealth 64vram? Its still happening occasionaly here!!!! May try the 22.xx drivers. Anyone have any luck?

Tweaked...eh OK! Sorry did misunderstand a bit! Ultrix..Dont think im paranoid or an idiot thanks.

I have exactly the same memory setup ie. 3 x 256mb sticks from Crucial and have had no problems like this. However I did have the some issues with Me, which turned out to be a hack of the reg to get it to recognise >512mb,(shouldn't be an issue in xp) AND the bios settings.

Hykster: Read you post and went looking! When I use help and support it reports correctly. When I right click on my computer it reports correctly. Got smug at this point and ran msinfo32........ It reported that 190meg were missing!! 8) Have moved dimms in slots/changed fsb speeds etc etc just to see what happens! No change! I suspect that it is "seeing" and using whats there as I run memory intesive graphics/3d apps and have not noticed any real drop off in performance which I would expect with them. Update: have just ran msinfo32 after opening different apps the avail mem changes all the time!! vampy

AndyF You were right. Downloaded, detected and installed correctly for GF2gts. No probs so far. Inf loop gone. vampy

Presuming you want to use the hibernation feature, from what ive read so far on this subject, i would suggest that maybe you bios needs checking. First to ensure that it supports this feature and secondly that it is set correctly. my 2cents worth! vampy

Advanced SCSI Programming Interface! CDrom software use it to communicate with the drive. vampy

nvidea dont support it because they only bought some things from 3dfx: Quote "we bought the rights to only some technologies relating to 3dfx(voodoo)technologies" end quote. They did not by the bits(intelectual rights) that would enable them to write drivers without breaching existing copywrites............so the story goes. Dont believe it myself! vampy

Hi 5.5.5.1 works fine for me. Did have a problem with 5.5 which had a user permission problem. Tech support told me they had removed this feature. Installed 5.5.5.1 and it ran fine. vampy

Agree One of the best burners around! However....If you cant go to tech support and are not happy hacking the registry there is a clone cd registry cleaner out there. This will then allow you to reinstall as normal. Look wherever you got the copy you have. Havent tried in xp yet but works in 98/ME/2000 vampy
