Default IRQ

Phex can put a high load on system devices like network card and disk drives. When I had some troubles with system crashes while using P2P, I found out that my network card, graphic card and disk controller shared the same IRQ and made the systems go crazy. Also removing all unnecessary USB devices can give a lot relieve on system resources.
Each USB device reserves system bus resources, so remove card readers, joysticks and these kind of things if you dont need them. Or if possible switch your USB device (printer, scanner) off.
Gregor, thanks for that. I have been getting IRQ issues, and my system has bluescreened ocassionally with an IRQ_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL message, so it looks like IRQ problems, or possibly driver issues. Oh what joy to fix!

Are there any known issues with J2SE 1.5 Update 4 on XP?

Cheers,
Fidel
