If your not using any infared devices or firewire (1394 controller) try disabling those (in devive manager) for testing. You can always re-enable them.Wed, 21 Sep 2005 19:03:40 GMTexTIhttp://forum.tweaks.com/forum/Topic175678-37-1.aspx[quote][b]exTI (9/21/2005)[/b][hr]What 'small tweaks' did you do?
