Failures... SDVXD and NDIS2SUP.VXD It seems like one is to support a game and if the game isn't there, the support isn't needed; hence, it fails to 'do its thing' and so is recorded in the log file as a failure. The other is a 'mini' disk cache used at startup, and when the 'big brother' disk cache takes over, the 'mini' is discarded. This too gets checked, and a failure gets put into the boot log. Microsoft says this is 'normal' behaviour. (I suppose if there was a problem, they'd report 'Everything just ducky!') Cheers, PW. Son of a Bitch, PMS Witch forgot which is which, sorry Rich. I couldn't help it.

I don't find this stuff amusing: I installed Office the other day and today I clicked on a text file on a FTP site. The document opened in Word and Word took away all my browser controls: I couldn't go back to the previous page or ANYTHING. Only thing I could do was shut down the browser with ctrl/alt/del. It would have been OK if I didn't have my browser set on full-screen/auto-hide, but that's how I use my browser. I shouldn't have to change just to accomodate my text editor -- stupid #!&$@%$# MICROSOFT!! It's kind of like how Acrobat is difficult to deal with now, only worse. w
