XP runs SLOW after loading SBlive software

rbduck
After loading the Win 2000 Live Ware software, my pc seems to run more slowly. Before the install, everything was instantaneous. I'm running a 1. 2 ghz athlon on an ABIT KT7A Raid. Has anyone had a similar problem? Any suggestions as to why the OS is running slow?.

COMPRESSED AIR in monitor... OK???

HELLBRINGER
This isnt Win2k related. But its hardware related. Is it safe to spray compressed air into a monitor to clean it? I wasnt completely sure. I dont see any problem with it but I want to make sure before I do it.

Gemfire James
ok, this sucks. Relisys has no Windows 2000 drivers on their site and I was wondering if anybody knew where I could get some drivers, hacked or not or if there is a resolve for this issue, cuz not only can I not use it in 2000, I can't use it in XP either.

My DVD not detected by bios, but... ?

Ant -|- One
I don't know why, but my DVD drive is no more detected (take a look at my specs below) by bios at start-up. . . But the funny thing is that the DVD drive is real present and working great under Win2kPro.
