what video card? drivers?

is the external a usb drive? dont think u can boot from that. we should figure out why u cant access the internal drive. u should be able to boot from the internal drive. if u fix that the rest is easy.

that sucks here is an alternate to thermal grease if any peeps have the gumption. when u lap both hs and processor very very flat they will wring together. hold the 2 together and twist 90 deg or so and the hs will pickup the processor (by creating a vacuum) when this works then u dont need thermal grease. safeguard your machine until u get good at this. also it's very hard to do with the processors that have clips instead of 4 screws (like the secc type) because it's very easy to break the seal. i ran a p3 700 @ 800 for 2 years that way temps stayed around 110f at load (had a giant hs/fan on it though) just a fun fact

thnx the xp firewall is very good but a pain to configure (as u can see) it looks like it worked out well maybe dosfreak or someone can tell us how to automate or even save for the next install of xp :x btw this is what i did for a firewall before norton made an xp compatible one

in xp u can learn the firewall stuff it's long and painfull but works quite well ipsec policies can be reached from the gpedit.msc the are tons of things u can do from there. after creating or altering apolicy dont forget to "assign" it or nothing will happen

not to mention the fact that a protracted war between amd and intel would only help their bottom line

it works fine if u are using xp u have to d/l symevent update file or nothing will work. it's not easy to find on the symantec website (they want u to buy new stuff for xp) but it's there. i have it if u cant find it.

i just ignore that error it still burns the file correctly

thats very odd my logitec wireless ps-2 keyboard plugged right in and all the buttons worked with the default xp drivers the mouse works both usb and ps2 without installing any drivers does your bios assign a irq to the usb?

the matrox g cards are good priced and perform 2d stuff quite well also available in dual head

i saw this one today that i havent tried yet but looks decent www.limelight.com if there is someone out there that has tried it i would be very happy to hear any opinions

i dont know about the files but the ps and mobo interface to the ps can fail.

with mine i just plugged it in and viola' used the windows drivers that autoloaded works perfect for me

yes ht will slow down some apps but for multitasking, hi end apps and java apps it's much much more than hype (been hyperthreaded since april)

http://jazz.zoovy.com/ just bought a sony 48x12x48 cdrw 4pm on xmas eve 50$ shipped at 4.40pm a got here today (12/27) i dont usually post about these things but they seem very efficient and prices are decent. (8%+ taxes)

i hate to bring this specter up but there are those who will sell 128's as 256's and hope the user cant tell.

it's so the robot can pick it up during processing (no really) more specific it's an indexing hole for the robot

pc133 will run at 100 np sounds like u have a bad module there

this is the way i do it but im sure there is an easier way which im sure our other fine forum contributers will point out. in regedit open the key u want to keep and right click on it export it to a file. i always keep my explorer root and explorer advanced settings the file will be a .reg right click and EDIT... dont doubleclick or merge then remove the settings u dont want on the new system then after u install the new system doubleclick the saved file and it will transfer all the settings. please be careful and practice if u arent very familier with these things because i am not aware of any way to undo a registry merge other than to restore a backup... so make backups

not advisable but u can take some of the settings (registry keys) and make a merge file so u can add your settings for that to work u must have the same user name thats what i do 2nd question hkey_local_machine hkey_current _user

sweeet

is that the "in dash" one or the usb plugin. shouldnt need drivers for either in w2k or xp u prolly wont see the drives in explorer until u put sunthin in em

i had the same thing until i did a clean slipstreamed install

i had a similar prob on a new install recently turned out to be an old joystick that robbed the irq 8)
