Two Win2000 problems in search of an answer.
Just set up a Pentium 3 machine on a Win2000 base. Everything’s working fine (despite some major dramas trying to get an oldish HP scanner to be recognised by Win2000).
However, my problem stems from one of the steps I took trying to get the scanner up and running. One of the scanning programs I put on turned out to be a pre-production version of Easy CD Creator which caused me all sorts of grief, including hanging the computer up on shutdown. I uninstalled it, but it seems to have left a legacy of sorts behind – when the computer starts, the Windows ‘System 32’ directory box comes up on screen. If you close it, the computer goes on to work fine, but I’d like to get rid of this if possible. Is there anyone out there who might know a fix?
Thanks in advance.

Second problem: the same old Pentium 3 machine runs a copy of Adobe PhotoDeluxe 2 which has more bells and whistles than the Version 4 Home Edition that came with my digital camera. (I know PhotoShop is the tool of choice, but PhotoDeluxe is very user friendly, and the lady of the house is used to it.) The program worked fine when the P3 was running on Win98 and had only 128mb of RAM, and it’s still running fine now on Win2000 with 256mb of RAM and a new 64 mb video card. However, I copied it onto my own P4 (also with 256mb RAM), and I get the message “There is not enough RAM to launch PhotoDeluxe 2.00”.
Any ideas?
