after an absence of about 2 years or more, this excellent resource for computer tweaking, especially stopping of unnecessary background processes is back on line. It came back on march 7. Black Viper says he will be gradually updating the site. But, it still has the value for those running xp...nothing about vista yet. anyway, take a look and find out how to ring every fps possible from your computer.http://www.blackviper.com/sherm

Nice one! I used to use this site a lot and was pretty :( when it went offline, I thought he was never comin back. Along with Kellys Korner (http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp.htm) and the Elder Geek (http://www.theeldergeek.com/) Black Viper is ace for tweaking :)Lol @ the BlackViper FAQ on the homepage:-----------------------------------------Has your grammar and spelling improved?No.-----------------------------------------

Thanks Sherm. When I bought my latest PC, I tried to find blackviper to streamline XP but it was gone. I had some of his stuff printed out and remembered other things to do but I've never been quite satisfied. I'll dash on over there and see what I've forgotten. R-
