Disk Cleanup slow with NTFS/W2K

Snuf

I have noticed that the Disk Cleanup utility is extremely slow when using NTFS compared to FAT32 on Windows 2000 Pro. It seems to hang or take a long time when searching for old files to compress. Is this normal for NTFS? Is there a way to disable searching for old files to compress, I don't compress them anyway.

Wireless Technology

2. 4GHz Wireless Technology is one of the best features the Xcam2 has. Picture quality is razor sharp. Other features are also outstanding. If you don’t ascribe to my views, go. .

Verizon = Hell on Earth

Atreyu

I need an outlet, and I thought the other forum at NTCompatible would be a fitting place. . How else to describe my rage towards Verizon other than to say they are without competition, the most unorganized, poorly-managed, incompetent, selfish, deceiving, and careless company I’ve ever dealt with.

Subnetting

ryoko

Does anyone know of some nice web resources that detail subnetting? I understand the basics, however there is a lot more that I would like to brush up on. Any advice would be appreciated. The hollidays have me tapped out for a bit, so I'm avoiding buying any books on the subject.

Mousy Question

pbuckne

What do you think the coolest gaming mouse would be? Doesn't have to exist yet. For me, I would want it to combine the purported accuracy of the Wingman with the A4tech (yes, A4tech) four button, two scroll wheel mouse, and the Logitech Ifeel model.

CD Burning Software for WinXP

Jedi Master

Hope this helps a few of you. I spent several days test driving different CD burning software for use under WinXP. I purchased EZCD 5 when it first came out. For Win9x systems, it's fine. But, as most of us know, under Win2000 or WinXP, it can cause stability problems.

Lost XP

Thunder

Was duel booting 98 & Xp. Never used 98 so decided to scratch it and just go with XP. In the meantime I flashed my bios with the latest one which was supposed to allow XP to be installed without pressing F7 during setup.
