UDMA status keep changing & VIA 4in1 question

Orpheuss

Help. Why my UDMA status keeps changing according to WinXP ? This happens only on the Primary Master using my ATA66 IBM 22GXP. First boot, it says the status is UDMA3 (eventhough it's an ATA66 hd). Once in a while, it will really run at UDMA4.

Netscape 6.1

DremNeonBlack

I installed Netscape 6. 1 because my Internet Bank didnt support IE6 at all. Its working great and all, I was just wondering if you had any experiences from using NS6. 1 in winXP2600? Are there sites that are ONLY funtioning with IE? Because that´s what my friend tells, he hates Netscape by the way.

System hangs on boot, unless I choose logged boot

GTwannabe

My system is doing something very odd. If you boot normally, the blue bar only goes up half-way and disk activity stops. Just stays hung. If I press F8, then do a logged boot, it boots up fine. Any ideas? If not, is there a way to force it to automatically do logged boots?.

Screen Positions????

NoNeed

Bit of a strange one, this I have a dual boot: Win me (Drive C), Win 2000 (Drive D) and both OS's screens are in the same position without me having to adjust the screen left or right when I boot between one and the other.

Error when cloning XP partition

Sandaasu

Wasn't sure which board this fit best under, so I put it under this one. A friend of mine recently tried to clone a partition including XP (2600, apperantly Corporate, though I wonder after the nature of this problem) Upon trying to login, this error occurs and prevents the login from resuming.

WinXp a MICROSOFT nightmare?

Is it just me or has Microsoft gone too far in forcing people to switch to XP by making it incompatible with 2k? Also what's the deal with the funky annoying new User Interface? Please participate in the poll of this thread

IE 6 Lock-up

Doktôren

I'm using Win2k SP2 and IE6. Sometimes I experience lock-up when browsing the web. It seems to be certain pages that causes this problem. It doesn't lock-up everytime but frequently. I don't remember having this problem with older versions of IE so it could just be a problem with the web pages.
