There is one feature though that is less than what one needs, concerning the video driver. I use Snap at 1040x760 (or so), 16 MB depth, and it is SLOW. Directory listings of many files take too much time; the light box mode of PMView takes too long to display; work with the browser (seamonkey) is often very slow, etc. Would someone have a suggestion of what one could try to speed up the display some? Is there a way? Lother, are you certain that SDDHELP.SYS is getting loaded in CONFIG.SYS? Sluggish video is usually a Panorama complaint, and performance can be greatly enhanced (even Panorama's) by using the SDD helper driver (though there are some other side effects when using it with Panorama). -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC www.2rosenthals.com Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com Warpstock - Albuquerque, NM, Aug 7-9, 2009 www.warpstock.org -------------------------------------------------------------
