hmm............ P4 256 mb RAM ....... and it takes 15 seconds to boot up Photoshop 6.

maybe i don't have enough memory........sounds like it should be faster.

i don't care really.......it seems blazing fast to me, a year ago i was using a Pentium 233 with 64 mb RAM and it took probably 2 minutes.

ya know, i'm not much of a techie, what's a good piece of software to see if my computer is working as well as it should and if it sucks will give me some possible reasons why?

i've had a sneaking suspicion ever since i got this computer that it's not performing up to what it should.

I can't encode video using Windows Media Encoder, crashes the machine if i try to encode at anything but the crappiest quality, little movies made for 56k dialup. I couldn't get anyboy to
tell me why, the machine far exceeds Microsoft's requirements, i know lots of people with a P4 256MB machine who have no trouble encoding WMV movies. But what the fuck? How am i supposed to figure out why it won't work? I went to Microsoft newsgroups, all the good video sites like DVDHelp.com, nobody could help me.

I don't even know who to call in the phonebook for that kind of thing cuz it's about a specific piece of software. I will NOT call Microsoft's support and pay those morons..........been there done that seen that horror show before.

well any help or suggestions are appreciated.
