I had the problem start when I FINALLY installed the files you had sent instead of my hacked versions of the files I thought you were using.
I could only tell there was a difference by the size of completely hacked versions - yours were still smaller than mine.
I did the swap as an all at once operation and maybe I should have done it in stages as you recommended. But now the machine is running happily so I will leave it alone for the time being.
But now with Grant's minimally hacked user32 all is well. I iwll see how much more can be taken away and he is doing the same. Neither of us claim that this is the FINAL version but it did point the way for those who want to be able to minimize the cPLAY screen - for which I remain skeptical but all small things add up!
I would also like to hear the reasoning on the black screen. Being a cics loyalist I would like to know why this is better.
Of course, I was stuck with the default blue screen with nothing in DEFAULT before and must say I like the black one better!
Maybe the XPHome SAM allows one to see more stuff to get rid of? I do not think if we deleted EVERYTHING out of our SAM files would we have that same result.

I exchanged some emails with Jack and he said '...I've been dealing with electronics and noise which is the by-products. I love listening to music with absolute dark background so I've remove display chips and use batteries to achieve such effect.
After I saw this.

I tried and the sound was promising. However, it needs a graphic driver to work with. I then explored other means and eventually used the background color to shut off the display...'
A black body in thermodynamics is a minimum radiation (video interference in this case) source. So the color simulates a shut off display. Very, very clever!!
I have never tried it since I worried my mouse function has been minimized!
But the way I read that - this is very different.
That procedure, seems to me, turns off the monitor - disables it and then re-enables it. Which I would think would be ideal.
Has anyone every got it to work?
I do think good things are happening with the tweak. Since I did them all at once and I am skeptical about the black monitor thing I think the security entries being turned off is the big reason it has made an improvement. Plus my monitor looks like it is glowing black, not exactly turned off black!
I am skeptical about the black monitor thing . . .
As I understand it, monitors typically draw more power to display black than white. Before I stopped using the wretched things in an audio PC, I did measurements that tended to confirm that although the difference was a couple of per cent only. What difference, if any, it makes to the PC side, I've no idea.
