Well this problem is kind of complicated so please bear with me. A few days ago I was toying with settings and for whatever reason decided to try turning off DMA on my harddrive to see what the speeds would be like. I rebooted and upon getting into windows, my computer seemed to hate it so I reverted back right away (comp was freezing). So I went to play half-life (day of defeat mod to be more exact) and it and every other mod refused to run... So I rebooted... didnt work... rebooted again... nothing... rebooted again and it worked. Now every time I change any settings in windows be it resolution or updating drivers half-life stops working unless I reboot aprox 15 times (no exageration)... My computer occasionly gives me error messages regarding the kernal and rundle32.dll...Im at a complete loss as to why this happens... I just got a new video card (GeForce2 GTS pro) to replace my old card and Im still getting the exact same problem... Any help would be greatly apreciated I dont really wanna format but I have a feeling its going to be the only option.
