if you run anything in realtime, it'll choke out all the background processes that are needed to run windows and everything will be slow as hell. AboveNormal or High priority is about as far as I'd go

im running road runner as the front end, and whenever i close it to go work on windows, it keeps reloading and its irritating the **** outta me. anyway to turn this 'lovely' feature off?

Wish I had looked over all the settings in CF v1.00 before I tried this little gem.

Hi,

After a format and re-installation of XP on my carpc.

I'm experiencing some problems when trying to customize the shell.

Problem
When I change the shell to Frodoplayer, it takes from 40-70 sec. for windows to "apply my personal settings"

If I change the shell back to explorer.exe then it takes 1 maybe 2 sec. like it's supposed to.

Can anyone help?

Sorry for my english

After further examination I have found that it's "C:\windows\system32\wlnotify.dll" it "hangs" on...

Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance...
