Hi All I have to re-install XP this week as it keeps crashing and not starting up. So I am going to try and set it back up using recommended practices. PC: PIII 650, 512 RAM, 32 Nvidea Video, 100 Gb over 2 drives (1 40GBx 5200rpm, 1x60 7200rpm) The plan is to: Format the 40Gb with NTFS Re-install Windows XP Install usual programs on C: Install all audio related software on 60Gb drive If anyone has any insight, suggestions or recommendations I would be very grateful. I have been using FL with around 15-20 plug-ins and having this many plug-ins seems to slow the performance, can anyone confirm this? Also while I ask does, does anyone use windows 2000 pro for audio? I have read that it isn't as good as XP but my experience of XP is that it sucks big time. Crashes a lot, hangs a lot. Any feedback would be great Thanks Ally
