It really depends what those "recovery" CD's do. If they partition the drive and format, then you certainly want to avoid them because they will...
I'd suggest removing the driver and the ATI Control Panel (There are probably entries in Add/Remove), deleting the ATI folder in the root...
The red X just indicates that it has been disabled. I know how you feel about nothing sticking out in DM, but if disabling works, smile and live...
Make a bootdisk with this: http://directcch.com/downloads/boots/xpboot.exe It loads smartdrv automatically. You just need to start the...
And back up everything immediately. This is often the beginning of the end.
Don't know what to make of that "Pro" problem. Are you planning on trying a repair?
I did it just like Mudd, but skipping a step. I ran the pps file. When I got to the pic I wanted, pressed "PrintScrn" and then "Esc" to end the...
Well, I see your point, but I just don't find it that difficult to open 2 explorers side by side, or what I do even more often is explorer on one...
OK. So it doesn't look like a problem. Thanks for the info. If anyone asks about this, I'll know ;) . It depends what tests each benchmark...
Are all your drivers XP (WHQL)? Though XP is very stable, it really hates non-WHQL drivers (which is probably why it is so stable). Did you...
I remember struggling with this, too. Most of the time, you don't even know where the new partition is located. So, I added the small partition at...
BillyBob -- There's one I don't see the point in---Powerdesk! It does nothing that I can see that Explorer doesn't do better, so even though I...
Looks like we are at least on a parallel trail. Now might be a good time to look for driver updates, anyway. It could be a driver that has...
LOL. And it should. No one should be mucking around in the registry unless they are nervous! It would save the people on this bbs a lot of time if...
Well, you can put it there. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management IoPageLockLimit...
Oh, I see. The same installer for all OS's, but different drivers. Just out of curiosity, try another benchmark, like pcpitstop.com and SiSoft...
It is very close to impossible that an ME video driver would work in XP and vice versa. If you are using the same one, I'm surprized you have...
See what the Event Viewer says, as Newt suggested. I had a similar problem pre-SP1, but not so serious as yours. Explorer crashed often when...
As interesting as this is, my focus fades in and out today. Did you by any chance try the app that Barbara-Ann mentioned above? It allows you...
Nero's version of ASPI always worked better for me on 98 and ME. XP didn't need it.
