Fastdetect switch in boot.ini

[vomacka]

I need to remove the fastdetect switch in my boot.ini:
_________
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer
__________

But what do I do about /usepmtimer? Can I remove that also?

This is the reason. It is the SAME problem I am currently having:

I don't want to screw anything up. This is the first time I have done this.

Thanks for your help.
