Windows XP/2000 IDE-CDROM detection

bugmenot1
I have an old Pentium MMX 200 (MoBo J-Mark 571B, Award Bios 4. 51 SiS 5571 Chipset) running Windows XP Pro. Every time I start up the PC, Windows installs new drivers for my secondary IDE channel, and the 2 CDROM drives on it.

Search & Help have gone A.W.O.L.

Sinluan
I don't know what the underlying cause was but for some reason, after I installed XP, the 'Search' function just didn't seem to be able to find its own arse with both hands. Now I notice that the 'Help & Support' gives no response when I click on it.

Sims 2 - Little black dashes

Jewlz
Hello =) I just bought the Sims 2 DVD and it seemed to install just fine. Everything looks okay so far EXCEPT there are little black dashes on the sides of the screen from top to bottom. What could cause this? Is this an easy fix? I'm new at this.

Start Windows XP as fast as possible.

martbhell
Hey, we got an assignment for tomorrow at school; start a Windows XP machine as fast as possible, with a notepad document in the autostart. With almost no hardware changes, (overclocking is counted as sw), maybe add a little more memory.
