VIA Raid dir opening on startup

[blobrana]

Hum,
 at boot
PRESS the `F1`  or `delete` key, and enter the bios,

Switch off the SATA booting/search option.
(you are using IDE).

And are you sure you loaded all the raid/via 4 in 1 drivers on the cd rom (they`re always hidded away  to bug you)

Also worth a look at the control panel --> system -->hardware tab
and check that there arn`t any exclamation marks against any hardware devices...

Hum,
Very strange....

A similar startup program is Codestuff Starter, (0.48 MB) a must for any  desktop...

The only other thing i can think of is to look at the `folder options` on your explorer windows. (under `tools`, `folder options` and look at the `views tab`)

try `restore defaults`...


And have you installed any weird over clocking program that came with the mobo?


 :-?

Hum,
you don`t have a raid setup....
rename/switch off
raid_tool.exe

C:\Program Files\VIA\RAID\raid_tool.exe

(can someone confirm this?)

[blobrana]

Hum,
is it not `CacheBoost`?
And probably worth keeping...it`ll optimize the mem a bit better with XP...
