Well, one is the only one really *****ing me off, but I'll put the 2nd one down too:
Every 48 hours or so, try to play an mp3, avi, mpg, anything requiring sound in any app - "80070057 - bad directsound driver". Only fix seems to be uninstalling, restarting, and reinstalling the sound card driver. The funny thing is, if this error pops up for 1 sound card, it will occur on all 3 (1 onboard, 1 audigy, 1 just for the gameport). Until about a week ago, I had really good uptime, now this! I know a reinstall is an easy answer, but apart from this, I've got a perfect install...
2nd problem: dialog boxes for system tray icons "hiding" part way behind the taskbar. Doesn't matter whether I lock it or not.
