I have had the same problem. I have and AMD Duron 800, 256MB Ram, ATA133 40GB, ATA33
20.4 GB HDD, Geforce 2 MX 400, SoundBlaster Live 5.1, Sony 12X burner, Toshiba CD-ROM.
I have the latest BIOS (VIA KT-133A chip on motherboard)
and I have the latest graphics card drivers and mobo drivers. I don't have a solution.
