Building a new desktop -2gb ddr2 Ram, nvidia 7800 GT, 100 Gb Maxtor
Sata Diamondmax, card reader/floppy, Audigy sound.
First Maxtor failed out of the box. New one came today. Everything
loaded, drivers etc. ok.
If I tap Start/Restart, she does it immediately. I mean whoosh.
But, if I load a program that requires a restart, she won't do it.
Just get the splash screen with the blue bars cycling under the
windows logo. Activity light stays lit.
The only thing that might be different is the active partition, from
the vendor, was F:. Could the software be searching for C:?

Not clear what you mean by that, maybe
you mean an install that requires a restart.

Its possible, you can get some odd effects if the
boot drive isnt C and the install is badly written.
