lsavidge
When I use Word and Excel I often need to use the clipboard. This isn't particulary unusual. The one thing that is really begininning to get annoying is the enhanced clipboard. Anyone know how I can tell word/excel etc not to use that but to default to the normal system one only? Cheers,.

chasputnam
The first release of Nero 5. 5 caused problems w/ EZCD 5. Has anyone tried the update yet and can you advise if the prior problems are corrected. Given the problems that EZCD 5 causes w/ Win2000, I'm thinking of going back to EZCD 4 for audio and data and using Nero 5.

Backing up CD track listings from Media Player

BladeRunner
I used to use the CD Player for any audio CD's I played on my PC. However the automatic download of CD tracks doesn't seem to work now - I have this feeling they are moving the whole show over to Media Player which does seem to work.

Win2k Minimize/Maximize Window LAG *HELP*

Allistar
Guys, I'm in need of URGENT help. As of less than a week ago, Win2k started giving me troubles with minimizing/maximizing windows. There's a noticable CPU lag during this time to the point of simply minimizing a window taking up 89% of the CPU.
