GPL: papycpu / papycpu2 Services W2k

Hi, I have a question concerning the two timing services installed by gpl (1.2.02). These services are located in %systemroot%\system32\drivers for windows 2000. But the registry keys look wrong. IS: REG_SZ "systemroot\system32\drivers\papycpu2.sys" looks wrong, should be: REG_EXPAND_SZ "%systemroot%\system32\drivers\papycpu2.sys" or REG_EXPAND_SZ "system32\drivers\papycpu2.sys" I also do not find any of these services/devices in "non pnp devices" or "services" where the stuff from "hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services" should appear. (what kind of sense makes a service installation if they are not run at startup, before logon?) I do not receive any w2k events from service control manager. is something missing? This leads to the question if something else is wrong with them on w2k. i am asking this, because i do have some stuttering on an athlon 1200, which i did not have on an duron 800 (at least i do not remember ;-)), which is strange. not really reproducable. sometimes it is gone, some- times it is extremely annoying (about 0.1 FPS for a second or two) after replacing all hardware (except lwff & athlon) the stuttering stays. i also tried the numerous patches for via chipsets and so on. i know that gpl runs without them, but maybe the stuttering belongs to the "missing" timing services. (the n4 services corrupt(ed) gpl timing somehow, i read somewhere) system specs (current / before): asus a7v athlon 1200, 256 mb voodoo 5 5500 PCI / Voodoo 3 3500 AGP terratec dmx fire 1024 / sblive / sb16pci Realtek 8139 NIC / Realtek 8029 NIC thanks for any hint in advance, -- Joachim B�ddeker

that would be 0.5 FPS, then. :-D -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 "a language is a dialect with an army and a navy"

a few people (including me) have had this. look back in this group for threads including the word 'stutter' for previous suggestions for dealing with this problem. mrp.

Too much hairsplitting, are you confused? ;-D sec fps 0 36 1 0 2 0 3 36 how do you get 0.5 fps from this example ? ;-) for all 4 seconds this would be an average of 18 FPS, but for seconds 1 & 2 an average of 0 FPS. -- Joachim

yeah, but your table is wrong. here's what it should look like: sec frames fps 0-1 35 35 1-3 1 0.333333333333 etc 3-4 36 36 see? :) you folks tried Max Payne yet? -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 "Det er nok ingen ovn, men fartsm�leren v�r."
