load. It takes soundforge longer to load, the same with cakewalk 7 and
other programs. In cakewalk when playing a song it sometimes stops.
There is a lot of harddrive activity going on. It takes longer to load the bmp images
of wav files in cakewalk. It takes longer to run java in netscape.
The only tsr programs loaded in the little box in the taskbar are Sndvol32.exe thats the
windows 95 mixer, My Gina mixer, and my Diamond Stealth display settings diamond.
Every thing like this worked great for a long time. Now its slowed down....
What the is going on here???
Any ideas of why.. any solutions??

I just re-wiped my hard-disk - I've done so about 12 times since Xmas - and at first it was quick but my PC is rammed with hardware and about 2 to 3 gigs full so it now takes about 5 minutes to boot up.
This is mainly to do with the amount of drivers I've got running my soundcards though.

I have 32 megs of ram and I have many audio programs , some I don't need.
I probably need to do some cleaning up of stuff not being used and clean my audio scraps
with cakewalk there is like 700megs of scraps now..
well thanks

The best thing about windows is that it keeps IT technicians in jobs! :-)

Also a good idea for cleaning up your hard disk - do a find on *.tmp, and delete all of them.

Even if Windows IS a PITA a lot of times, it couldn't have caused this, right?

That problem Urro Burro had sounds like the same sort of thing that happens when you overclock a processor but it does'nt work.. Something to do with the speed the chips can communicate with each other.. If one chip is going to quick or slow then you get bottlenecks in the data which has a knock on effect to the rest of the system..
I think.... (I'm talking shit now :-) )
