Greg,
I didn't have time last night to address the HDD will attemp tonight. I did go to the msconfig/start up and unchecked almost everything. If it looked like it pertained to the main operation of the system I left it alone. I don't remember seeing anything for the gadgets however they still work.
The one issue I have is the idle time during the reboot, it seemed like it was taking too long to shut down (is this normal - it didn't take this long on XP) so I held in the start button to shut it down. I mean we are talking 10 minutes it stated it was shutting down, looked like it was hung up. When I restarted the computer it went into safe mode due to unexpected/improper shutdown.
If I'm correct it should have just rebooted yes/no???
Also I contacted the Espon Tech Support - they instructed my to check the fax port and compare it with the printer port, they were different. I checked the same for the fax as it was for the printer and off it went. For some reason when it installed it selected LPT1 instead fo the USB002 port (I have another printer hooled up which is USB001). I tested the fax option and it works great!
I want to make sure all is operating as advertised before installing the other video editting software.
Thanx again for you time!
