DremNeonBlack 0 Posted October 28, 2000 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 Share this post Link to post
felix 0 Posted October 28, 2000 It's the SBLive drivers. I been testing this with a friends computer. Fresh installs up to sound card drivers. I installed full LiveWare 3 and he installed just the Live drivers. The boot time is the same for both. Thus I believe it is the drivers rather than LiveWare of its related applications. ------------------ Written on Win2000 using: PII 300 Aopen AX6B 160mb RAM Diamond Viper 770 32mb SBLive!

Inray 0 Posted November 2, 2000 Felix is right... The problem is SBLive drivers. I had SBLive drivers only (i hate Creative's Liveware garbageware) and i had many problems also. My computer P1000+256+SCSI160 need almost 90 seconds to boot up. It also had major power management problem as it wasn't possible to wake up after standby mode etc. I reinstalled Windows 2000 but i kept only the included "BASE" WDM drivers and not even a bit from liveware. Everything works fine now an most other minor problems disappeared. PS: I had similar problems using earlier Liveware 2.0 Share this post Link to post
