Hi Group,
This might be the wrong forum to address this issue but someone else
might have seen this. I am seeing right now on my computer that I use
for Writelog a difference in sound card scoring. I just recently
changed out my old hard drive for a new one to get some additional
space. When this was done I loaded a fresh copy of Win2K professional
along with the same programs that I had installed before. But when I
run the sound board check file off of the Writelog site the score I
receive on the new hard drive is '7b' where on the old one it was '7f'.
I checked the hard drive specifications between the two drives and they
are equal in most cases and I am using the same driver for the sound
card as before. I even went so far as to check the services running
when Win2K Professional started and the only difference was I had web
services on the old hard drive starting up. As for the system itself it
is the same in every instance except for the switched hard drive. So
has anyone else seen an issue like this and was it able to be corrected?
Also I have included partial listing of my system configuration below
and any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
