94330	2002-10-29 22:01:00	My PC seems to be running a lot slower than usual. I have run Norton's virus check, Norton's utilities, done a defrag, etc. and can't idenify a problem. When I shut my machine down, I get hung up on files not responding, either "Notification Wnd for RNAdmin" or "Msqsrv32" Can someone please tell me what these are and whether they could be realated to my first problem? All help much appreciated. K.B.	kbcad (1025)

For "Notification Wnd for RNAdmin" try some of the below.Remove te <> where applicaible. www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/t1030471178 www.heavenly.nu/~daisuke/archives/00000077.htm <www.gifford.co.uk/ news?cmd=xover&group=microsoft.public.win98.performance> Any additional information go to Google.com and enter the search words for more links. Another place to look might be in Start > Run > type in msconfig > press Enter > Startup Tab > and look at what programs are loading and running in the background and remove the ticks from those that do not need to be there. For a reasonably good list of what can be removed or kept try the following link. www.pacs-portal.co.uk After reboot you will get a message advising that you are using selective startup, tick and carry on.	duckyduck (197)

These error occuring a probably caused by a whole lot of crap on your computer. I see your getting RNAdmin messages. Are you on a network? If not then you don't need this enabled. If your using Win9x then goto device properties (right click on my computer) goto disk drives, then click on the properties of your hard disks, make sure that DMA is enabled. It may come up with a warning message. But if your computer is 5 years or younger then this won't really concern you. You will find that you will make most of your performance gains in the msconfig, as duckyduck instructed. How much ram do you have? Ram is cheap these days and sticking in another stick of it, will result in a great performance boost.	roofus (483)

94336	2006-04-12 23:00:00	Just out of interest, why would anybody be trolling the PF1 archives like that anyway? I can't imagine that they would register especially to answer one ancient (in computer terms) question. Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused:	Billy T (70)
