XP hangs during Fish screensaver and graphics-intensive
games (Quake 3, Half Life Blue Shift). Never did it with
Win98SE. I thought the graphics card was bad (GeForce
2), so I bought a GeForce 4 128meg. Still does it,
reliably in screensaver, erratic in games. I do have a
fairly large overhead in taskbar programs, but it still
happened when I unloaded everything.
Norton Machine specs:
AMD Athlon(tm) Processor 1.1 GHz
512 Meg memory
This is odd because my screen rez is set to 1024 x 768:
800 x 600 in 64K Colors, NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 Ver. 6.14
Also: Any idea why a DVD ROM drive (Liteon LTD163) would
stop reading disks? It doesn't even know if one is there.
