In WindowsXP (and 2K I think) under:
System Properties > Advanced > Performance > Advanced

Are the options set to Programs instead of Background Services/Program Cache?

I guess you windows version is either dyslexic or juvenile. Perhaps your windows just does'nt like 3d Mark. Try 3d Bob.

You could either a) stuff it with pills b) give it a couple years to mature c) If you can't reconsile the two, stop frequenting Mark.
