Nyarlathotep tomorrow...well later today I'm going to try to update some drivers. Last time I did that, I had some system issues so I've got to make sure I don't do the same thing again. It was something about the 4in1 pack for my mb. I need to get my husband to post here to explain that. He's asleep now. I'll make the other changes you suggested and try running it in a bit. Ok so I may not be old enough to be your mom, how about sister? :P I'm closing in on the 1/2 century mark much too fast. *sigh* Gobalopper I ran PCMark fine. What do all those numbers mean? I couldn't find anything on their website to explain them to me. My CPU score was 2791, Memory score was 1698 and HDD score was 124. It had a whole lot more info but I can't make heads or tails out of it. I did save the info. I play Ultima Online. There is a 3D version which I hate to play due to the ugliness, but I lag a bit in it too. I can play it, but I prefer not to as all my girls look horrible. That is the only other game I really play, besides Diablo. number6 my mb is definately a SY-K7VTA Pro. I already knew it was, but when I boot up, which I do alot, it also says it there too. I'm not positive about the SIIG, my husband said that. I'll have to open my case later and see what I can find. I used to know how to remove things in the startup that don't appear normally, but I forgot what file to open to manually remove them from the list. Do you know what I mean? I know it's not autoexe.bat, but it's one like that. Do you know which one it is? I don't know why createcd shows up as it doesn't autostart. I might have to upgrade my CPU and get a new vid card. Too bad I didn't think about it before now. This weekend was First Saturday in Dallas. We get the best deals there. First Saturday is a computer flea market the weekend of the first saturday of the month in a parking lot downtown. You have to get there before midnite on Friday nite to get the best deals. Stuff goes fast! Just be sure and take a flashlight. Folks come in from all over and some stores set up tables too. It's a great outing. It's been going on for over 30 years. They even have a website. http://www.firstsaturday.com IxianMace I will make that setting adjustment and see what happens. Thanks again guys for the help. Maybe we'll figure this out yet.
