Anyone know How do i get windows to remember my folders view type? It use to work when I first installed now it defaults to freakin thumbnails... Is there a way I can force it to remember ? thanks -oXide{ P4 2.5 Asus i850 Rambus Ultra160 Geforce4 };

do you know any apps off the top of your head I could install to fix this

ok, what if i dont want all my folders to be in "list"... just the folders that I set to list

Its checked already.... i think somethings f-ed up. Is there something i can do to fix it? reg hacks or something .... stupid windows

Hi, Im having a proble w/ my instalation of XP that I cant seem to fix. I'm using a powertoy called Virtual Desktop Manager, or something like that, and whenever I switch to another desktop, the background becomes volitile.... when i drag windows around, for example, it will "wipe" upthe background. What gives? This never use to happen before, in fact switchning desktops use to work great. I've tried new and old video drivers but to no avail....tried a system restore but to no avail. I'm all out of ideas. Virtual desktops is important to me as I am use to running 19x14 on a 21" crt, but now I can only run 12x10 on an 18" lcd and its hell.... Any help would be greatly appreciated -oXide{ P4 2.5ghz Asus, i850 Rambus Geforce4 Ultra160 };

Hmm, sO I tried to reinstall it and it doesnt seem to have any positive effects. Ill try a "clean uninstall" and look for all its remniants around the drive and in the registry but for some reason I dont think thats the problem.... Switching desktops seems to work...in work I mean I can get to one desktop to another but in every case, we get this strange backjground problem. I'm assuming the memory is getting currupter somewhere? Do you guys know where an application like this would store the desktops? System memory or video memory? If its vid mem maybe I can flash the BIOS on my geforce to something more recent and see if that has any effects since the BIOS I'm running now is an engineering release... If not, do you guys know of any applications that are similar to this power toy that I could use instead? MAybe I could try those and if I get the same problem we know its something more ill than an app issue Thanks -oXide

I'm having a problem with my stupid XP wireless networking. I have the 3com card with the Xjack on it and they recommend that we use windows to control it.... For those of you that dont know, windows is suppose to be able to just control the card (provided the right drivers) and you can have windows connect to various networks and manage access point passwords, etc.... Anyway, now for some reason windows refuses to control it. I can only control it with 3coms software but this causes alot of problems. For example, when I click on the network icon in the system tray, I should be able to click "advanced" and setup my network prefs etc... but now when I click on the network icon i just get a screen where everything is greyed out. What gives. I think this has something to do with another network card I installed (dlink) .... I uninstalled both drivers and boths software to only find the same kind of behaviour. If someone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated (besides formatting). Ive gotton to the point Im going to throw my laptop out the window

What kind of security features are you talking about.... are we talking software firewall and that kind of stuff? As far as I know that stuff is off. And even if they were on I dont know how to get to them now anyway... When I double click on the network icon in my system tray, a window should come up and I should be able to click on the "advanced" button where I can set those security BS options and other network settings. Instead everything is greyed out... This wasnt always the case either. It use to work, mind you. I think what im looking for is some kind of registry cleaning or something to that extent..... but im not sure exactly what to look for or to do. I even did a system rollback to like a week and month earlier, to a time when it use to work, but it still doesnt work

Hi, for some reaon I cannot get the VPN server to work in XP. When I try to bind the VPN server to my network adapter, I get the following result in event viewer: Unable to add the interface {9A5F4A74-5512-4E03-9B35-6160202F4069} with the Router Manager for the IP protocol. The following error occurred: Cannot complete this function. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

So i found out that {9A5F4A74-5512-4E03-9B35-6160202F4069} is my firewire adapter.... In the page where I should be able to select the ethernet adapter to accept incomming connections(Incomming Connection Properties) all I see in there is Direct Parallel and WAN Minpot .... I would assume that WAN miniport is the internet via my ethernet adapter but its not. Does XP support hosting VPN over the internet??? Is there a way I can edit the reg and get an entry for my Ethernet adapter in there somehow? I've overcome all the problems w/ my router, firewall, and other BS and this is the last step... any help would be appreciated Thanks

I have my registry from a previous install of win2k backed up on my HD...how do I view it so I can copy stuff out of it? When I try to open it with Regedit, it tries to overwrite my existing registry with that one...I just want to take a look at it..Thanks -oXide

what a pain in the butt....stupid windows. why would they not offer an effective soulution for view registries other than your own.

I was having probs w/ my win2k installation so I installed winxp 2600. It was aight, but I was still seeing probs so I copied important files to my D drive, formated my C, and reinstalled XP from scratch. Now, inside of XP I cant access those damn folders!!! IT says Access Denied. Whats up with that. I am logged on as an admin as well.... all the other things I can open on my D drive, but the ones that I created while I was in XP last time I cannot HELP ME PLEASE. I AM GOING TO SHUTOFF COMPUTER IN THE MIDDLE OF LOW LEVEL FORMAT AND THROW CHASSIS OUT THE WINDOW INTO LAKE

I dont think I did. I mean you activley have to do something for this to happen right? I didn't encrypt anything.

I've been trying really hard for the last year since win2k has come out to keep my system state nice and clean so I wouldnt have to format....I've been succesfull for the last 13 months or so, but now I am seeing serious problems that I cant fix. I installed winxp over it but it didnt fix anything With the same installation for 13 months, i've built up hella programs...(3 collums of progs in 16x12). Is there a way I can back up just my programs, format my hd, install XP, then restore the progs and registry entries for them. There are other things in my "system state" that I would rather not restore because my system will just be messed up again right. I know i can backup everything, format and restore everything but it will restore the probs too...I just want my programs. I wish stupid backup had this option Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks oXide{ i815, P3-1000 ultra160 boot ide RAID Storage (weak *** ide) geforce3 };

hmm...not quite the response that im looking for...anyone else?

Please see my other post. It kinda apllies to 2 catagories so I thought Id put a link in here as well...thanks Other post -oXide

goodbye voodoo, geforce3 has changed me. (also being an nvidia employee as well)

Thanks

haha. I'm cool off that idea. I remember when I use to post against nvidia users on a daily basis. Now I'm sleeping with the enemy. Go steal one from the store...its worth it. I play quake3 at 16x12 w/ all opts up, or at 10x7 with 4x FSAA....This is all just a drop in the bucket too. Wait till the new dx8 games come out =0 -oXide Stargate7{ i815 320MB P3-700, Clocked to 1Ghz Ultra160, 10kRPM boot Dual ATA100 RAID Array, Storage GeForce3 };

For the longest time I've thought that the max speed any harddrive can do is just 40something megs per second....this goes for all flavors of ATA and SCSI, etc...I felt that things like Ultra160 just refers to the bandwidth that that particualr interface can handle simultainiously. For example, ultra160 can handle 4 drives going at 40megs/sec at a time. But not nessesarily one drive giving info at 160meg/sec, just because drives cant do it. Anyway, I just ordered this ultra160 drive and the specs say EXTERNAL TRANSFER RATE (mbyte/sec) _______40 Sync Low Voltage Differential(LVD) _______80/160 Sync what the heck does that mean. Does that mean the the drive actually serves data at 160megs/sec, or is that just what it "connects" to the scsi bus at? Thanks -Johnathan

another oXidious question that goes unanswered...is it safe to assume that if I cant answer technical questions, then no one else can?

Hi, I just set up a dual proc system consisting of 2 P2-450's...Now this doesnt mean that this system is essentially running at 900 mhz right? The way I see it, Its like horsepower and torque. This system has more "torque" than say a p3-900 system, but the 900 system has more HP....what this equivilent to in real computing terms, i dont know, but can someone help me understand, or at least, reassure me?? thanks oXide's OMEGASUPREME{ supermicro p6-dbs dual p2-450 640MB RAM dual ata100 ide RAID (40gigs total) };

Hi. I;m looking fort a harddrive benchmark. I know that adaptec use to make one, but i cant find it anymore. Suggestions?
