PCIList 2.20 (162kb) addresses a bit of weirdness with VIA chipsets, and MultiRes 1.25 (50kb) supports a couple of additional command-line parameters which you can read about here. Also, a week or so ago the PowerStrip (644kb) was updated to 2.75 and is now validated with the "officially leaked" nVidia 6.2x drivers, which seem to resolve the previous compatibility issues with the D3 drivers.

It´s only taken two clean installs of Windows 2000 and all the applications and a total restore of all the data, but we appear to be getting to the nub of the problems that appeared when we tried running our new HP 9510i CD burner.
It seems that HP is innocent this time and that it´s an Adaptec plug-in to Windows Media Player 7 that causes a conflict with Direct CD from, er, Adaptec.

Saw over WinInfo:
According to an unconfirmed report that I received last night, Microsoft is working on a third major bug fix release for its Office 2000 product, which it will curiously call "Service Pack 2" instead of "Service Release 2." Office 2000 SP2 follows Office 2000 SR1a with an October 14th release date, and the patch will require that SR1a is installed first. And unlike the previous collections of bug fixes for Office 2000, SP2 will apparently be "patch-only," meaning that Microsoft will not reissue the full product with these fixes preinstalled, as it did with SR1a. The document I received noted that Office SP2 will contain all of the post-SR1a public patches and updates for Office 2000.
