In particular, these are the two that I tested with the 'test2' above: >uniaud32-1.9.3-testfixes.zip And, they were almost guaranteed to lock up with YouTube videos and also with some WMV files. In addition, all seemed to add a short 'blip' of sound after playing with the 'System Sounds' tool. My current configuration is: >Directory of O:\mmos2 > > 4-18-08 10:20p 72,912 0 a--- uniaud16.sys > 4-01-08 6:56a 574,658 54 a--- uniaud32.sys >___________________________________________________________________ >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I should also mention one other issue that started when I began testing all of these combinations, and is still present [and aggravating!]: When I boot the system, eCenter is automatically started via the StartUp folder. When it starts, and after filling out all of the icons for active tasks in tasks tray, there is a series of very fast beeps [sort of a warning beep] that lasts for only about a second at which point the entire eCenter crashes. * There is nothing in the PopUpLog file. * The desktop all of a sudden has scroll a bar on the right side and the icons on my desktop all move up about the distance of one 'row' of icons. * Occasionally [totally unpredictable] the eCenter will restart itself. Most of the time it does not and I have to manually restart it. From this restart on, it appears to work OK. Backing up to what I thought was the level of the UniAud files prior to all of these tests [circa 01-Apr] has not restored correct operation of eCenter. I have no clue about what is now different. I did move from ACPI 3.08 to 3.09 last night, but it does not seem to matter one way or the other. As far as I can recall, I've made no other changes to the system [other than these UniAud tests] since this weird behavior started. I have not attached any of the diagnostic files, because you've usually requested those after running the 'System Sounds' and those all seem to work OK [with the exception of the extra little 'blip' at the end which others have reported.\]. After a lockup, there's no way to obtain anything. If there is something you'd like me to try, just ask. Carl
