Dronez problem

Greggy

I'm having a problem running Dronez on my Win2K Athlon system. Basically, the Demo will run all day long with no problems, however if I start a new game the system will freeze (ie Windows will crash) after just a few minutes - I have to press reset & reboot.

After I removed my PlexWriter 12/10/32A and my Pioneer DVD-A06S 16x on the device manager and let WinXP reinstall them, no CD burning program has been able to detect anything on the IDE BUS!

Computer Choas has posted a review on the Volcano 6 Cu Heatsink. The Volcano 6 Cu is geared for those that don´t like the noisy 7000 RPM fans that come on the Cu+, yet still need decent cooling for their Socket A or Socket 370 CPU´s.

IE6's font size always reverts to medium

noms

Has anyone been having a problem with WinXP's IE6 always defaulting to medium as the text size? I prefer mine to be smaller, and when I change it to that size. . . it stays only for that session. As soon as I restart the PC, it goes right back to medium.

Nero Buffer Underuns

Darmok

Hey all, I have Nero 5. 5. 4. 0 installed and I cannot seem to get a reliable burn out of it in XP(RTM). I have a Plextor 12/10/32A on IDE and a UltraPlex40 on my Adaptec 29160. Even with burn proof, I get toasted cd's as it uses it from 3% in, and I just get coasters.

Need opinions - Best video card in terms of support for 2k(a

So ATI is annoying me. I love the All in Wonder 128 32meg I have, but Ive concluded ATI will never get off there duffs and give me drivers worth their name. But Id like your opinion on who will give the best support for 2000 (and XP in the future).
