I will reply to the last several posts in one here, cut down on everybody's
email load.
Clive,
I have been running P99SE on this machine for close to 10 months now
and have never had a blue screen event from P99SE. Had a few back with P98.
It is my understanding from most of the discussions on this list that the
behavior your describing was typically limited to W95 or W98. Several times
I have read that I basically don't have to worry about the memory leaks with
NT. I normally never reboot the machine other then approx. every 3 - 4
weeks, I logout and login daily though. When I do reboot the machine it is
usually after some form of a fault condition (not necessarily P99SE) and I
just feel better having rebooted from scratch.
Brendon,
knowing enough just to be dangerous describes me as well. So I don't
mess with the NT stuff I don't understand thoroughly. WIN?? now that's a
different question.
Pauses on mouse actions, now that you mention it I notice the same
but had not equated the two together. The one that drives me nuts is click
and hold, and hold and hold, nothing happens, move mouse and all of a sudden
it picks up something else that you just briefly moved over as you moved the
mouse. This one is also not consistent, less consistent by recollection then
the shortcut "pregnant pause".
Tim,
I believe that your problem is more the analyzing net routine, or
other processes, where it can sometimes go to sleep for up to 10 - 20, even
40 minutes. If you meant something else please elaborate a bit. Been there
done that and that is not the issue with this problem. That problem I
understand from past experiences.
Brian,
no Matrox video, keyboard is standard PS2 type, USB ports are unused
and I can find no instance of drivers for these ports (but what do I know
about NT). Sound card is a simple Ensoniq device and there are no sounds
programmed for menu type items. I do get sounds for some alerts, program
closings, shut-downs and reboots. I have not programmed any sounds for
anything else. I think that covers what you were suggesting, let me know if
I misunderstood anything which you posted.
Dennis,
I am going to ask MIS to disable my virus scan temporarily but they
will probably be very reluctant to do it. I have thought of this as well but
I am reticent to run unprotected because it has saved my butt more then a
few times in just the past year.
Thanks y'all for all the suggestions.
Brendon keep in touch, let's see if we can find the solution and let
each other know if we succeed. Glad to hear that it is plaguing you on a
much faster newer machine, saved me the embarrassment of not fixing it after
begging for a faster machine.
