Reseting your disks from PIO to DMA
If you are having issues with your PC, noticeable by your Media player crapping out whenever your Hard Disk or CD/DVD is accessed or by your mouse sticking, check this piece of VBscript that resets your devices from PIO ( software ) mode to DMA ( hardware ). Sometimes windows will switch over to software mode without even telling you ( thats nice ) and this will detect and reset those settings.
For the original script check it out here

Wanna see why your harddrive is getting trashed? Need to see what Netbeans is upto? This shows all file and I/O access on your machine, think of it as Etheral for processes. Great tool, and free.
The only caveat, tends to reboot your machine if you have a lot of stuff going on.
