What has BTS done to combat the CM/XP/Nividia conflict problem ?? <hr></blockquote>
If BTS does not respond, I believe they just do not care !!

Perhaps there has been no reply, because this issue has been discussed in the Tech Support forum already. Perhaps also, what the rest of us is saying is correct (the driver issue). No need for BTS to reinvent the wheel and repeat at nauseum, what they have already said.
<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Wow. Linda sure caused a stir. There were several reasonable responses, but the signal to noise ratio of this thread has gone way down the longer the thread becomes. I know you guys love CM and BTS. So do I. I know it's chic to portray Microsoft as Big Brother and beat your chest about how you're "not gonna take it", etc. , but the fact is XP is a good OS, the registration is really not that big a deal for those who actually buy the software. <hr></blockquote>

As a computer retailer, I can tell you that I have many customers who are addicted to upgrades. They folks will upgrade to the latest, best video card, as soon as it comes out (yeah, more money than brains, sometimes). They will upgrade their CPU and motherboard, whenever the latest offering brings them considerably speed and power than what they have now. At the very minimum, these customers are upgrading every three months or less. So, that translates to two to five calls to Microsoft per year, if some of the upgrades do not trigger an activation issue (not all upgrades will. I don't know about you, but I don't like it! Microsoft is seemingly attempting to curtail our freedom of chioce in everything we do in computing. I still don't like that!
