Apparently the LUAFV driver, which controls UAC in Vista, can cause latency issues if the feature is disabled.
Once UAC is disabled, a registry tweak that disables the driver in question needs to be applied if the user wants to have more solid boot times back (improved boot times obviously vary from machine to machine and i didnt notice a huge difference to be honest).

I hold no responsibility if this tweak should cause your computer to spontaneously combust or eat your children.

Open the Registry Editor.

Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesluafv"

Double click the "start" string value, and set it to 4.

Reboot and see if you notice an improvement.

They are freely available if you know how to use google scru!

In fact, you can even make your own.

Nothing to do with firewalls....You need to make sure that your configuration settings on the router match those of each device (computer) on the WLAN (ie Workgroup/Domain, SSID, WEP/WPA encryption etc)

Good Luck :cool:

Its your PSU.....350W is not enough to run any new card effectively!

With those graphics, you should be aiming at 500W plus ;)

There is no need of any antivirus on the Linux os

:D

Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see!

Some of the points the others have made are very valid, however my advice would be...... be cautious of any software that you utilize over the network.

As linux gains in popularity, it also presents a challenge to the writers of malicious code and their evil intentions!

Dont live in a 'fools paradise', they also have linux in their sights!
Only problem is, there are so many distro's, they dont know where to start...lol!

Regards to all!

OK, you have established that a faulty monitor is not the cause in this situation!

It may be a problem with the video card, video controller or driver!

Does anything show up in 'Device Manager'?

Im assuming that the mobo has onboard graphics as you say that you added a vid card to the machine but windows wouldnt recognize it!
Did you enable the bios to recognize a PCI/AGP video adaptor as it would be set to onboard recognition if this is the original mobo setup?
Also, did you make sure you installed the correct drivers for the card that you added?

To aid your troubleshooting, try the card addition again making sure you get these 2 crucial factors above, correct.
At least before you splash out on a new mobo!

If you still have no success the issue may lie elsewhere, and may still be either software or hardware related!

See how you go! :cool:

I have seen that error message before when installing a scanner on windows 2k!

Sadly, you can end up troubleshooting it for hours or days on end as it seems to be a problem with some sort of registry corruption i believe.
The problem was corrected quickly and efficiently with a format of that partition and a clean install of windows.
Its probably not what you wanted to hear but i bet it works a treat!
Your call...

Good Luck! :cool:

touche` to all of the above!
