I think my last post was a bit premature. I have been working with this way too much lately. I have discovered that my bargin bin HP Workstation xw8200 computer has a giant flaw. The SATA controller is the old slow type of SATA not the cool fast SATA. I have ordered a new fancy fast controller so I will have fast hard drives once again. This will mean another Windows 7 install but no big deal.
Some of my network issues involve me using the Windows 7 version of Remote Desktop software. It apparently cripples Windows 2000 systems running plain old Terminal Server. Once I connect my server maxes out the processor. My music stops flowing and I get sad. I disconnect from the remote session and all goes back to normal.
Every few hours my sound just dies. I have to go to the control panel, select my speakers, and change the default from DVD quality to telephone quality. I get an error that another application is controlling the sound card and then the sound returns. I put the setting back to DVD and it works for another few hours or days.
I am still waiting for Firefox and Adobe to get with the 64 bit world but I am not holding my breath.
