Odd graphics glitches

EgoWarrior
I get really weird graphics glitches with my Geforce2 GTS & Win XP Pro. The backgrounds of my icons in some dialog windows are blue/pink (probably depending on which is set as the transparent colour for the icon) For example, nero looks like this: MSN looks the same except all the icons have pink backgrounds.

Sound Files...

Pepin
I seem to be having a little trouble. . . when I right click on a sound file (MP3, WAV, etc) WINXP takes it upon itself to play the sound file. . . no application controls the sound, and I can't seem to ctrl-alt-del to end task the file.

Dos Apps and 100% CPU Utilization

Bob Purdy
With any DOS App window running, when you type at keyboard, move mouse or make screen change, The CPU utilization will go to 100%. If you pause it will go back down. Just makes a workstation kind of dog, but Win 2K server really goes downhill after a few users start DOS APPs.

cda file format

teenguy
No sound is produced if I try to play Audio CDs maybe because the. CDA format is not supported. If I play MP3 and WAV file, it works just fine. I can also play VCDs without any problems. I tried to play the songs from the cd drive itself and also I've copied to cd's songs to hard drive and tried to play but no use.

Quicken 2001/2002 and IE 6.0

JBDental
Quicken 2001 and/or 2002 can be installed and appear to be OK but will not start claiming that I need IE 5. 5 or later. I have Win2000 and IE 6. 0. Talked to Intuit but they say it is a Win2000 problem.
