other suggestions are...(as i have found)
update video drivers turn off screen saver and another.... Posted by Spike01 (328 messages posted) Hi Scott, If you copy and paste this into notepad (not wordpad), and save it as a regfile on your desktop and merge it into the registry, I can almost assure you that your problem will disappear. I have also left a few tweaks in it to make your system a little faster. If you choose to use it, you can save it or delete it when you are done. There are no copy rights here... The settings you are looking for, if you want to discard all the rest, are these 3 settings: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "AutoEndTasks" = 1 = yes 0 = no. automatically stop the application. "WaitToKillAppTimeout" = Application measured in miliseconds. Used when you press CTRL ALT DEL "HungAppTimeout" = How fast to stop the application when it doesn't load correctly. "MenuShowDelay" = this is to set the speed or the menu. set to real time, in miliseconds ###copy and paste below ### into a "filename.reg" ### ; Note: REGEDIT4 is only used in Windows 9x, and ME not XP. REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "MenuShowDelay"="0" "AutoEndTasks"="1" "WaitToKillAppTimeout"="250" "HungAppTimeout"="1000" ; This can help gain resources when you close applications. ; This tells Windows 98 Explorer to unload the .dll files that are ; not being used anymore. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer] "AlwaysUnloadDLL"=dword:00000001 ; This tells Explorer to tell the difference between double-clicks. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "UseDoubleClickTimer"="1" ; # END #
