Hi Matt,

Apologies for the tardiness in my reply just knee deep in work at the moment. I 
did find time to dig out the 32mb card to give the libretto it's full 64Mb and 
it didn't seem to make a blind bit of difference in terms of mounting and 
playing DVD images.

I'm not sure if it's something in my configuration (it seems I had to mount a 
region 2 image to get margi to decode region 2 vobs), something I've introduced 
in the ripping process, some extra processing introduced by it being region 2 
or something still adrift with the libretto hard disk, to many parameters at 
the moment and I've lost my motivation and spare time to follow up so the 
project is officially on hold.

For what it's worth slipstreamed windows loads a darn sight faster than my 
first installed standard version (SP3 as I recall) and feels snappier. If I was 
clean installing a libretto I'd go that route again and burn a cd for future 
usage. I think there are some limitations on stopping SFP in later service 
packs. Have a read of http://www.vorck.com/remove-ie.html this was the process 
I followed (Philip does link to it). Oh for a switch in windows that says don't 
bind my hands, I'll accept the consequences of my actions, and another one to 
do a full backup of the hard disk overnight with a command line restore option 
:).

Any way - back to lurking again, good luck with the mp3s.

Thanks again for your responses,

Alan.
