XP may have degraded your drive to PIO mode because of detected CRC errors (maybe triggered by an internal flag on the HD?). Do you have a SMART utility to test? This sounds like a mechanical problem and could explain why file system tests will pass but you still have random trouble. From:

Thane, I do understand your example, and do recall the need for latest VB runtimes on several occasions. But this was way back in the early 90's w/OSR2 and Win98se. But, I never dabbled in VB actively much. Used it mostly for background ops that required it IIRC mostly MSOffice apps. and

I'm shocked, because I recently retired my 3200 barton I figured I'd retire it to the server and replace the 2400. Vista did not complain or ask to re activate like when I changed the hard drive. Go Figure. hohoho fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- As I said last week, I'll be done

No big surprise there... With an AMD CPU, you can only loose one point on a change... If you did the HD recently (or not) and have not changed much since you re-activated, you just never went below (or hit?) 7 points yet... If I change ONE thing, (in addition to the things I have already lost

Rick, I know what he said. And, I'm hoping he made a typo. Maybe the 2400 might be a 2500+Barton. If so, I'm game for a good used working CPU. I'll give it a very good retirement home... :) I have a pair of 2500+Baton's that I really like. Both have been doing 24/7 since 2000.
