Be careful which processes are killed in WinXP. There is one process responsible for monitoring the hard drives. If the process is aborted, next time it comes up, you will lose all of your checkpoints. I found this out the hard way. Winbench benchmarking software has the user remove all the processes from the startup manager. I later discovered that was why I lost all my checkpoints. The user should not need to blindly kill processes. This is like using a hammer to kill a fly. The process causing the writes to the disk is likely to be a background anti-virus process, the fast find software, or indexing feature of WinXP. Bob Graham
