Great. The improvement is noticeable. - No virus nor hacks, I guess. AVG is always updated and Zone Alarm is active during internet connections. - How do I turn on the DMA mode for the new HD? Press Window-Break to bring up system properties, go hardware>device manager>IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers>Primary IDE Channel>advanced settings, make sure both are on "DMA if available", reboot them make sure "Current transfer mode" is DMA. I think there are some rare circumstances where old settings stick here, I can't remember how to get around those, perhaps someone else might be able to shed some light? - No idea if something was damaged when the HD was replaced. I believe it was not, since no big difference in the Lib behavior was noticed after the HD replacement (except the one in question). But .. I have a problem when it is switched on docked (enhanced replicator). Sometimes a "KBC error" message is displaied right after the ON switch is pressed and it hangs. I have no idea what this error means. But if I switch off/on 2 or 3 times is starts fine. Or if I undock/dock 2 or 3 times. And it always starts fine when undocked. Can this be an indication that something was damaged? Or a bad contact between the Lib and the replicator? I've had this sorta thing happen with a loose memory module, try flipping the keyboard up and reseating the memory expansion module (if you've got one installed) ... perhaps your module is loose and plugging into the EPR warps the motherboard just enough to cause it to sometimes lose contact? The alternative is your KBC is dying (I had a Tecra 500CDT with a similar problem), unfortunately I've not found a way to recover from that one ... - Raymond --- /~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?"| | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.

Tks, Lazar Lazar... I wonder if you're having the same problems receiving Libretto list messages that I am. Days, and sometimes weeks will go by, and I get no mail from the list that most other members are getting. I have to go to the archives to read mail, and all the posts there are at least a couple days old. But here's my reply to your original post, as well as one from David Chien. Let me know if you've received these already: --- From: "Matt Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Lazar Krym" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I do not write often to this list, but I read most of the messages. And I need now some help. I recently have changed the 4.3G HD by a 20G HD in my Lib 110 (64M RAM, WIN98SE). Windows, all the Lib drivers and my programs were installed from scratch. The problem I'm having is that the Lib is very slow. (very, very, very). As an exemple, it spends around 1,5 minutes to open/change a Window Explorer window. I am not an expert in configuring Windows, but I think that the configuration files could be changed for improvements, mainly in memory management. An indication that something is wrong in those files can be that, when booting with an IBM Microdrive inserted in the PCMCIA slot, I get a STACK OVERFLOW error message, and the boot stops. No trouble when inserting the microdrive after the boot is completed. The current configuration files ara attached. Thanks in advance for any help and a great Christmas and New Year for you all Lazar Krym As soon as the system has booted, go to 'Start Menu | Settings | Control Panel' and the 'Performance' tab and check 'System Resources'.
