Problem Devices...& Slog PC???
Hi All,
First the basics of my System config =
O.S. - Windows ME (GOLD, Jun 2000 ed.)
Processor - P4 1.6 Ghz (256 KB Cache)
Video - GeForce 2 MX 200 (64 MB)
RAM - 512 MB SDRAM;
HDD - 40GB 7200 RPM. (HDD Primary Master with DMA mode enabled)
Other - 1 CDROM & 1 CDWriter drive.
Problem #1:
----------
Desc. - When I run 'MSINFO32.exe', I have the following entry in my "System Summary -> Components -> Problem Devices Category".
There are 6 (six) enteries having following format -:
" ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering ACPI\*PNP0C0F\00000003 22 "
* Could someone please let me know how to remove this error? (if it is one, i.e.)
* OR, How could I disable this device?
* And, Would it lead to some problem if it is allowed to persist?
Also, the problem given below was posted on this forum some time back, but did not get solved.
Problem #2:
----------
Desc. - Sometimes this happens, sometimes not ;) When I am accessing any of the partitions of
the HDD, or am installing a S/w app. with any other small apps in background, there are certain times when the system seems to freeze, & then it revives all by itself.
This I am saying as the mouse pointer seems to stick at one place, and when moved, it seems to take forever.
I've done the following checks-
1) Repartitoned/Formatted/Def
2) Re-Installed the O.S. ;
3) Scanned for any Virii;
4) Ditto for spywhere ;
5) My "HijackThis" log is O.K.
6) I am keeping default setings for my swap file (i.e. C:\Windows; with auto sizing)
I could have come to terms with this if I had an older system. But with this kind of config, should I be facing this prob.??
Please help me with ur answers & suggestions ASAP.
C.K.

Hello All,
Well, here`s another ques for u...
the free resources of my system hang around the 50-50% mark. I've just got an always on connection. The system process list, as I type this mail, is:-
BBCLIENT.EXE 4294197933
CCAPP.EXE 4294797477
DDHELP.EXE
EXPLORER.EXE
GETRIGHT.EXE
GETRIGHT.EXE
KERNEL32.DLL 4291775357
MMTASK 4294847873
MPREXE.EXE 4294846021
MSGSRV32 4294938049
NOTEPAD.EXE 4294440361
PSTORES.EXE 4294631893
SPOOL32.EXE 4294361837
SYSTRAY.EXE 4294885425
TASKMON.EXE 4294888325
VSMON.EXE 4294686413
ZLCLIENT.EXE 4294650553
Please tell me if this is normal and if it can be improved. The specs are as follows-:
O.S. - Windows ME (GOLD, Jun 2000 ed.)
Processor - P4 1.6 Ghz (256 KB Cache)
Video - GeForce 2 MX 200 (64 MB)
RAM - 512 MB SDRAM;
HDD - 40GB 7200 RPM. (HDD Primary Master with DMA mode enabled)
Other - 1 CDROM & 1 CDWriter drive.
I am using the onboard LAn card for the internet & have NortonAV + zonealarm running as of now.
Please advice.
Pls also let me know where I can find the new motherboard drivers of my Krypton M7TDA-A003 version motherboard. Also if someone has the knowledge of what could be the best&stable version of nVidia drivers to be used with my card (see above).
Thnx in anticipation.

Still, those MS people aren't able to explain that device error properly...
