Agricult., Garpenberg, Sweden. Lines: 23 I think I've seen something about this before. But at the time I didnt "need" the information. My experience is that when I'm running DESKview my diskdrive seem to operate slower. Well it just doesnt seem to run slower, I tried CORETEST on the drive and it reported that without DV it could read 666.0 KB/sec and with DV only 104.5 KB/sec. This is a real loss of performance in my book!!! Does anybody have a explanation to give me, maybe I've missed some- thing in the manual. I guess that the DV-people didnt make a program that should slow the computer. PS. The only program (partition) I had running was CORETEST DS. ------------------------------------------------------ - Jocke Fredriksson - - Swedish Univerisity of Agricultural Sciences - - Dpt of Operational Efficiency - - S-770 73 Garpenberg - - SWEDEN - - Internet: joakimf@sluga.se Tel:46/225/22100 - ------------------------------------------------------
