Minor problems with XP RC1

[DremNeonBlack 0]

I have some minor problems with WinXP RC1, maybe someone can assist me?

 

*language bar not disabled even though I turn it off, pops up upon reboot and is enabled again

 

*irq 7 for everything (irq steering OK, but EVERYTHING on irq 7?)

 

*"hide taskbar item" enabled but irritating "reminder" still popping up telling me about hiding the menu items

 

*local isp internet username/password not saved even though I check the box "save this username and password..."

 

*when connected to the internet, "reminder" saying "you are now connected to...." (this reminderthing, how do I turn it off?)

 

Thanks for any help

I am really concerned about the fact XP assings all my cards to the same IRQ. It seems to be working but I get a bad feeling about it. Is there any way to change this?

using same irq is one of the core properties of 2000 n XP bc of ACPI

and it doesn't affect any performance

if u don't have any hardware problem it's ok

u can try to use without ACPI so that all your irq's go to bios detected, but u won't see any performance inc

yes ...its normal to have everything in IRQ7 because ACPI is enabled

and the question for why the changes were not saved although u checked the box is because of the winxp rc1 "patch". The patch that resets the 14 day activation will also reset any changes u have made.

Therefore everytime u restart, all your stuff will be changed back to default. you might wanna try to find another patch that will save changes =) good luck
