I expect than one of the windows system
files has been corrupted. I would try
an online update or a setup/repair from
the windows CD.

At work, I use one machine for sim and docs
and a second machine for synth/p+r, both
using the same file server for sources.

Do the on-line updates repair/replace all of the windows files? I keep the system updated with the windoze updates, and none of the updates have fixed it. I've been reluctant to do the windows repair from the CD because my experience in the past with NT meant doing that and then going back and redoing all the updates, service packs etc, plus the occasional reinstall of applications. I suppose doing the repair from the CD is the next step, I'm jsut dreading it because it probably also means a day lost getting things back to where they are now.


My main machine is an Athon 64x2 hypersonic cyclone ocx. Moving to this I more or less abandoned the two machine set up I had previously, although I still have the second machine here untouched but not powered up unless I need it. The previous set-up was a dual P3-800 for the docuementation, design entry, sim, internet access etc and a dual K7-1800 for par and synthesis. My hearing was getting affected by the vacuum cleaner like sound emanating from those two machines, and the excess heat in the room was rather impressive. Part of the reason I retired the dual P3-800 was to get back onto a single machine to reduce the noise and heat load, as well as to avoid the network bottleneck between machines. Simulation as well as the synth and par do run noticibly faster on the cyclone, provided I can open everything I need opened. It is also quite a bit cooler, and with the liquid cooling is virtually silent compared with the vacuum cleaner.
