Re: HELP!!! Suggestions?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If your TV recording is set to go the RAID array try moving it to the non
RAID internal disk. RAID does not always provide a performance boost
depending on how it is configured. Especially with today's fast disk drives
and their 8MB buffers
Many users are experiencing problems with their 6xxx cards and the 71.84
release suggest staying with the 66.93 release until all else is solved.
Please keep us informed of your progress is resolving your problem.
