I installed Cisco VPN Client 3. 5 on my Windows XP Pro System. I am using the new XP GUI(StartMenu), but after the install of the Cisco VPN Client my Shutdown/Logout went back to the classic start menu.

Nero 5.5.6.1 memory leak?

Palos

I experience weirdness with the latest from Nero. . . I burn a CD @ 12x, and when I look at my resources I have 3 MB RAM free out of 512 (well after boot it settles to around 400). Anyways, even the task manager takes forever to show up.

XP and Imaging?

EvilPriest

Does XP have a imaging program like the other windows operating systems? I have a scanner that has no software to run it. The drivers are in and it works fine, but without the photo imaging program like in win/2k, I can't use it.

Norton Speed Disk or Diskeeper?

thymios

Hi everyone. I was trying both programs on win2k and now on winXP and came to some conclusions. As always speed disk takes ages to complete, while diskeeper only a few minutes. Speed disk optimises the virtual memory by putting it in the beggining of the drive, while DK doesn't.
