I've been running SUSE 9.1 w/XP for about four months with no problem except for each time SUSE boots, it asks me to adjust my screen resolution. From all I know, 9.1 and XP do not work well together - for instance, at least with 9.1 personal, there's no file sharing abilities from 9.1 to XP, so there's an inherent issue with that, though I've also heard it could be a matter of how your HD is formatted - NTFS vs FAT32.

SUSE has a large online forum where you can post computer problems with SUSE versions installed. I suggest you check them out.

BTW: what machine are you using?

My issue is this: I have an IBM with all sorts of IBM-related automatic processes that mount on top of the XP processes. At any one time, I have 44 processes running at once on the XP side - far too many even with a 1,000+ mhz processor and 512mb of RAM. I have thought of nixing XP altogether, but can't seem to part ways with it because of networking issues here at my job. In your case, if you can, nix Windows and reinstall SUSE, I wonder if that will correct your problems with SUSE.

Also: if you want to try something else, I can burn you a copy of Knoppix. It's Linux on a live CD. Tell me what you think.
