    Wierd problem...

    My windows XP system has been working properly for months, and I can't figure out why!

    Any idea's how I can get it back to normal?



    Now you can't say this systems not well configured! Look at the CPU usage!

    Heh... that ought'a do it!

    I don't think this PC has run so well in a long time! It's pretty old now too! I'm running WinAMP 5, which usually guzzles CPU time and memory, but it's not!

    Mini-woot!

    Try setting the power switch to 'ON' after you take Bodwad's advice.

    Yeah... works great.

    I've got to upgrade my Nvidia Sound drivers though, as you can see, i'm still running the previous version!

    Sounds fookin' nice though! Anyone with a 6.1 Digital card should by the Logitech Z680's! They are awesome.
