Thanks a lot for ur replies Willy
- Its not a bug that also shows up on XP 32 bit because i did the repair again with 1 of my old pcs with XP32bit only 15 min ago, and all the correct CMD windows were opened during the repair, and it finished and works perfect as u can c at the attached screenshots.
- I indeed tweaked all of my pc's a bit, especially the "services", because there are many settings on default that slows our system performance and i really dont need them to be enabled on auto/manual , according to "Blackviper" http://www.blackviper.com/ and "Theeldergeek" http://www.theeldergeek.com/ and Gibson research https://www.grc.com/intro.htm instructions. Those services also expose our systems for hacking attacks, or remote by others, or a backdoor for viruses.
like who needs "Remote registry" or "telnet" or "Net Tcp port sharing" or "Netmeeting" to be enabled??
Or for example even "Printspooler" as enabled, if i dont use any printer on those pcs?
Thats why i removed some options that i dont need to be changed, before applying the repair with WR. because i dont want to set the services back to default again, and my network settings are totally ok, and "print spooler" is already disabled.

(I still have a few suggestions)
- When sound is "stuttering" then - in general - something is "interfering". But what ? Graphics card ?
- How much free space do you have on your HD ? I know that when free space comes down to under say 10% Windows becomes "less stable" especially when one has a LARGE HD.
- Open "Services" (Services.msc). Do you see anything unusual (e.g. that word "Tweaking" or "Run as").
- If you know how to use a registry editor then you can manually search the registry for that text string (in the "Services section" of the registry)
You can try the following:
- Make a backup copy of the registry (Tweaking's Registry Backup), grab the file "Services_startup_xp.txt" (in one of the subfolders under where Windows Repair is located) and run it as a *.bat file. It will reset the Services to their defaults on your XP system after a re-boot. Perhaps then will WR run without a hiccup. (After all, you did tweak your system).
- This "Services ......... " file(s) allows you to manually modify the start up state of LOTS of (e.g. XP) Services in one run. You can modify the start up states of the Services. See the repair info for repair #27.

Hi and thanks again for not giving up of trying to help me :wink:
- I tried all my PCI-EX slots with or without the double GTX 680 but it still didnt solve my tiny stuttering problem, Now the the sound blaster is in slot 3 under the 2 slots X16 of the GTX video cards.
- I have 442 GB free space at the 1TB hard disk, and 308 GB free at the 500 GB hard disk where windows is installed.
- I dont see something suspicious or unusual at the "Services" , I uploaded for you a screenshot of my services menu from a to z, and i will really appreciate if u can help me and see if something looks wrong in there, or that i disabled something that should be enabled.
I did your suggestion of backing up the registry with "Windows Repair", and i have now the "Services_startup_xp" as a ".bat" file, but i afraid to press on it and reset my services back to default again like u said. I configured it for few hours by the 'Theeldergeek" and "blackviper" instructions [2+- years ago when i installed windows], and i afraid that i wont be able to return it to the tweaked one that i have now. so thats why i uploaded you the screenshot of the services menu.
Willy2:
- No, that picture doens't show anything extra-ordinary.
- That *.bat file only "touches" the Services that came with XP and not the ones that were installed afterwards by other software.
- You can use the tool called "MSCONFIG". It's a very powerful tool to modify how Windows starts. And the nice thing is, the user can easily reverse those changes. E.g., disable all the non-Microsoft stuff, reboot and see if the sound problem has gone. (This is only one of the options this tool provides). That could give a clue what is interfering with the sound.
- Perhaps now you're able to run WR as well. The article below explains the tool well, IMO.

Stookza:
- Yes i know "MSCONFIG". since 1998 im using it ;-) But nothing there looks suspicious that might interfere with the sound, and i disabled all the non-Microsoft ones, but it still didnt solve my audio stuttering and WR problem, So i re-enabled again some of the necessary services [like creative sound, AV, Intel Matrix Manager].
The problem of the sound is not so serious actually, but still its annoying a bit , its just a lil "tick" or "popping" sound when i move the cursor of the mouse from one part to another in some music or video files, the second problem is a strong and knocking bass sound in some audio files. [that i can feel very well comes out from the sub-woofers]
I think the problem caused only from the memory's slots 3-4 defect [that i dont use], or cause of the "buggy" and problematic drivers of Creative X-fi Titanium which doesn't fit completely to windows XP x64.
