Anyone ever heard of this: occassionally before a wav is played (eg. IE's "click" when you click on a hyperlink, or Outlook's new mail notification) the system will 'lock' temporarily. I still have use of the mouse, but the applications are unresponsive for about a second. -MagitekKn Configuration: Celeron 450 (4.5x100) ABIT BE6 (PL) SBLive Value (Win2k WDM Drivers) Viper770u WDCAC29100D (7200/ATA66) on HPT366 #1

these are two "hidden devices" in device manager that are under the "non plug and play drivers" section that are related to the hollywood plus card I have. Has anyone had trouble with these drivers not starting correctly I try to manually start them, but they either have no effect or immediately make the system unstable. (Specs: ABIT BE6 Celeron 4.5x100 Diamond Viper 770u (det. 3.78) SB Live (Creative leaked drivers) Hollywood + (rev A4) (build 120) Linksys LNE100TX nic)

You guessed it, a reinstall is in your future, since you obviously can't use the uniprocessor HAL with a multiprocessor system, and HALs can't just be switched in and out with ease (just ask the people who try to enable ACPI by brute force) -MTK

On my V770u (tnt2u) video card under 2195, when the screen is redrawn quickly (as in smooth scrolling in IE5 but curiously not in something like q3 or half-life) the CPU usage will jump to 100%. I didn't notice this behaviour prior to detonator 3.68, but now after going back to prior versions the problem is still there, anyone have any insight (it sounds to me like the video card is locking up the pci bus, but an AGP video card shouldn't do that, right?) (FYI I run a Celeron (4.5x100) on an ABIT BE6 and I run in 1024x768x16:75hz) -MTK
