do I have too many applications on my computer ??

Mushy Peas
I'm wondering if I may now have too many applications for my computer. It seems applicatations are taking longer to load than previously (i. e as I keep adding more software). BTW, I only install applications from vendors (in other words I don't ever install betas, or download games or install freebies).

ECDC 5 vs. ECDC 4.03a ?

ofelas
Wondering about the differences/improvements between ECDC 5 Platinum & ECDC Deluxe 4. 03a, if any. Does ECDC 5 include DCD 5 ? Any W2k Pro installation issues/problems that one should be aware of ? Does the Recorder Support Database add more then that of ECDC 4.

HELP with SMS and Mcafee, PLEASE

Mike Zamarocy
Here at work they decided to install SMS 2. 0 (SP1). On all our Win98 machines, when our logon scripts run, if not now, it WILL happen eventually - the systems lock up. When you hit CTRL+ALT+DEL, the same program is not responding - MPREXE.

why is my DOS prompt broken?

Napalm
My question is: how do I get the DOS prompt in win2k working like it does in win9x? I know wink2k's DOS prompt isn't like win9x, but I should still not be having the problems I am having. For instance, I cannot change to directories the way they are listed.

svchost.exe problem

anak1
Occasionally when I boot up I get an svchost. exe error which terminates it. I check the event viewer and the error also kills Telephony, Network Connections, COM+ and various other services. I think I have linked the error to running Direct3D applications but I am not sure what to do about it.
