powerquest also makes a set of tools for the server also extremely helpful however extremely expensive

Quote: Hello everyone, I am fairly new to these forums... I hope that I can share my expertise with Windows 2000 and most hardware problems.. I look forward to getting to know the 'regulars' and helping you solve problems! If anyone is interested, I am A+ certified, and I am working on my CCNA now... Well ya know me from our .NET discution I would say I am a regular welcome EDIT what kinda computer are you using? /EDIT

Quote: Just a follow-up; worked just as you described. Thanks again. sweet so how are you liking .NET I have been watch/experimenting with this beta for a long time and now that it is at RC1 it is much faster and more reliable, great features I like that it is all disabled/ locked down from the start you just enable what you need and you have a very stable playform.

Quote: Quote: XP allways worked great for me even since the alpha days one of my fav builds was 2252 alpha when they had just introduced the watercolor theme. Then you must have been one of the lucky ones, or maybe I've been extremely unlucky. They have installed XP on some computers I have access to at my university and at one point in time they crashed almost once an hour. Try doing programming on one of those. I also stick to very good compatible hardware I used a 440bx through most of the xp betas now i am on an i840 Chipsets make a huge difference in stability of the system.

can you remove WMP9 form the system? I don't want to go down the no uninstall road like DX betas are

it comes with .NET I have had no problems with it

don't know when RC2 is coming out exactly but it will be soon

no prob glad to help

well the service pack doesn't install says wrong windows version what a surprise

Quote: I remember when I was using 98 I could search for the serial key in the registry.. but it doesn't show up in XP. Could someone tell me where to find it plz? it's not there check this tread http://www.ntcompatible.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22441&highlight=product+id

yea i like [censored] i mean real girls are the shit and they are all over the place for a drunken 21 year old stoner like me but [censored] is great for entertainment

ok what about the service pack?

Quote: Are we still talking about computers here? I hope so

Quote: lol he said it was THE sh** meaning it is very good i have also heard it was very good, but i still use nero LOL indeed I like all the good buner apps i use cdrwin clonecd nero and if i ever have to i will use ezcd5 platinum but i woln't install that crap on my computer i use it on my colleges computer

I just install sp3 on my router works great

Quote: Bascially you need more ram 128 is the very bare minimuim for XP and it's happier with 256. Now when you start running huge memoery hogs like GTA3 you'll need a lot more otherwise thing will start to get cached to the HDD which which slow slowings down somewhat, this is why you can hear your HDD chuntering away. With 512 meg you'll be a much happier bunny and it won't costs youa packet as it's only about £37 for an extra 256meg from crucial.com Some Call Me Tim Indeed I bet cha it is a problem with the paging file filling up you could make a bigger paging file to combat the problem or at the very least make sure it is static.

ok so u guys are both using the 4 in 1s and both experienceing problems the question is do you need the 4 in 1s you guys are both using XP so it should not be necisary perhaps try your sys without 4 in 1s and see if you still see the problem its a reach but perhaps it is worth a shot i know that one of the drivers in the 4in1 package is an agp driver and perhaps it does't play nice.

so did you change settings and then it worked? and then change again and it not work? or did you leave it the same and it just likes to work when it feels like it.

i like cdrwin but perhaps it is not the best for what you are doing. I will work though

Quote: Honestly, the only betas I have personally been involved in (Actual testing and feedback) were XP Pro, and .Net Server/Enterprise Server... Unofficially, I've been playing around a bit with Mandrake Linux RC1. glad to hear it man we need more testers in our league of users you would not beleive some of the morons on the ms beta newsgroups i think a certian post count here should earn you Full MS beta privileges after all this is ntcompatible. they should encourage the crazy enthusiasts like us to use and test the software cause we can really put it to the test.

Quote: Quote: Thank you.... you took the time to test it out.. and give me feed back.... all you other lazy A$$'s that are going to use the product should have done the same..... thanks for your hard work! ASiDiE perhaps others did not want to install wmp 9 incase they could not get it out, mr.a$$. with an attitude like that u should thnkaful any one will be willing to help you in the future. Right on I am a beta tester but i will not test apps like wmp9 or dx because of how bad they can/will fuk your system. I don't have any computers that are unimportant enought for this type of testing. Also to ASiDiE forget teh attitude it is not very charming and no one even really provoked you to get all pissy

tun luna off disable the theme service do you want performance or pretty.

go to computer managment go to services and turn windows audio to automatic instead of disabled also make sure you go to your soundcard properties and turn up the hardware acceleration.
