For Games: XP Home vs XP Professional

Hank Solo
Has anyone tested performance for games between the Home version and the Professional version? All I hear is that the difference between the two is the ability to join domains (and associated tasks).

Annakha
Since I have installed WinXP Pro my intellimouse explorer 3. 0, which is connected through USB, cuts out. Games, desktop, surfing, the mouse will stop responding and I have to physically unplug the mouse then plug it in again to make it work.

CDrom drives: Gone.

TheDragon
I'm having some serious problems. Ever since a few days ago, my CDrom drives have become unrecognized in windows. Apparently their drivers cannot start because they are corrupted. I have two CDrom drives, a philips CDRW804 drive and a samsung 8x DVD drive.

Sound Issues

dave tarmac
When playing mp3s in Winamp, when there is the smallest bit of disk activity, the playback stutters, not too much but it is noticable. It did not do this with ME but when I upgraded to XP, the problem was noticed.

TCP IP based printing in Win 9x and NT4

str8eiht
There is a fantastic feature in Windows 2000 where u can set an IP on a jet direct box on a HP Printer and then print directly to it without the need to create a queue on Netware or NT Server, which we use here in the University to manager our printing needs.
