Yeah, you're right. I had a look at the CPU load when I open the program (I tried a 
game this
time, Chromium, a space shop game. I think) and the CPU load graph maxed out totally. 
I think
it has something to do with the sound system, 'cause when I tried another game without 
sound
(Nibbles) it runs fine. Maybe I'll just have to look at the sound system, as Windows 
2000
couldn't play any sound either. I kinda fixed Windows 2000's problem though....I used 
turn
off the drive indexing feature for the Linux drive and My Computer loads up ok now.

Cheers,
Hansen
