I'm using the most recent drivers.

When i start up my musicprogram first it's no problem, but when starting with SL and after that my musicprogram it can't find sounddrivers.

Running anything after SL is tempramental. My screen top corrupts after an SL session so what else has happened that I don't see?
A reboot I think should be almost compulsory.

What do you mean by that?

The minimize, restore, an maximize icons in the top right corner of windows get garbled when running SL. To fix it I change I go to Taskbar appearance and change from Windows Classic to Windows XP normal and then back to Windows Classic.

When I have been in SL and I want to play Everquest for instance, I always reboot my computer. I have don't do that, I will start to lag very fast in Everquest.

If I start to play Everquest without being before in SL, there is no problem at all.

My computer is not even an month old and the specifications are not the lowerst (far from that).
