When the effect is this noticeable on a 486/25 I have to ask what's going on... For what it's worth, PMail 3.0 beta 2 (currently only in use here and not yet available) appears to operate

The only time I have experienced this was with NT5 beta 2, when it was caused by the Directory Synch mechanism, not Word. It is a short disk access but does make the mouse movements and typing within Word erratic. I have turned off spelling and grammar checking while typing and doc backups. Still does it.

Anyway: I have NT4 Beta 2 (server and ws) and the eval versions of Intergraphs Disk Access and Disk Share from the web site. They appear to be exactly what I need (WHY does MS leave out NFS from the TCP/IP of a networking product like NT???) But I('m having mixed results actually using them.

Help request: Experience with Safe; required
Hence the need to run package Safe to eliminate local disk access, aribtrary socket calls &c. Unfortunately Safe doesn't seem to cope with sockets. I don't let people have direct 7 2. I looked on CPAN but latest Safe on there seems to be beta-2 from 1995. Is there a better one? or something better generally ?

There might have been somw comment comparing the Win3.1 access with the 32-bit file/disk access in WfWg3.11 though. Don't forget that the WinNT tests were done with Beta 1, and beta-test I don't however know what differences there'll be between beta 1 and the final cut but there's already been beta 2.

Heaven knows where it's ending up after some disk access prior to OL closing. Any more suggestions? I've also tried the Send function in Word but the modem never gets called up there either. I've removed Outlook Fax also. Any other suggestions would be great. I couldn't fax using the OL98 Beta 2 either.

NT 4.0 Beta 2
R.Moberg, CD-Player Pro info @ http://www.sn.no/~mobergru/ =/ NT 4.0 beta 2 does not include a driver for EIDE bus mastering 'out of the box.' If you have an onboard EIDE It does not have the Intel PIIX driver that is included with Win95. This makes disk access somewhat slower than you will get under Win95.

... i suggest you go back to win95/98; it'll be a while until win2K supports games, and not all games will be supported: Win2K does not allow direct hard disk access.

Also, in addition to the large memory requirements (both Ram and HD), it seems that some laptops may have trouble running 32-bit disk access due to power management. I'm running the Beta-2 release on my TP500, 12MB RAM and 85 MB hard drive DriveSpaced, and I've encountered surprisingly few bugs for a beta.

Windows Installation Problem
Attend and receive an updated version of Windows NT5 Beta 2! Microsoft developers will discuss a new generation of Windows DNA-style applications. Copy NTLDR, ntdetect.com, and boot.ini to the disk. You can now boot with this disk to access your NT installation (you have bypassed the hard disk boot sector).

If you take out Win support and run only OS/2 apps the efficiency goes up an order of magnitude. Take disk access presently in OS/2, for example... In a minute and a half to boot Warp, I've seen Warp beta 2 demoed twice; both times were on 32MB machines, and both time the boot process was well over a minute.
