My processor is listed as "intel®pentium®III Processor" by default in device manager. i don't know why yours is listed als standard processor. quote: "Now , a driver for intel pentium III exists in the XP drivers, Should i install it ????????" Do you mean on windows update? If yes, then yes install it, i did it once (not on this windows setup tho) and it didn't harm my computer.

It's true, it reduces the performance a lot. I had the problem when i upgraded to a new bios than put the IOQD at 1 as default. i didn't knwo what happened and changed back to the older bios till i read somewhere that it had to do with th IOQD. Then i installed the new bios again and changed it manually to 8. Take a look in your bios for that option. What motherboard do you have?

I'm using meaya popupadkiller right now but it seems to let some popups come through. Is there any popup that kills 'em all? And if possible one where i can make an exception list? Thanks

I know about opera and mozilla, but they seem to have problems with javascript. For example: www.iexbeta.com, on the top the menu's don't open. The same happens on www.sygate.com and lots of other sites (if not all)

It would work but i do'nt recommend to do it that way, cuz your program files directory will be shared. That can lead to problems. I recommend you make a primary partition with FDISK and an extended partition. Install win98/Me, then install winxp ffrom within 98/Me and make sure you choose to install on a new partition during the setup.

Is it possible to export them? I kinda have lots of them (with all the spam one gets these days). Thanks

There's not way to make msn voicechat or send files on a clinet computer. I tried everything allready like i said above. MS knows about that issue (it's stated on the msn messenger download page) but is not planning to fix it. Yahoo messenger has the problem too. It seems icq is the only program that works correctly on clients (through a socksserver).

The game has allways worked fine here. I don't know if i can help but can you give us your systemspecs?

I don't know if windows is supposed to do that, but i noticed it put the pagefile on my d drive by default. i know everyone say it's better to make a pagefile on another drive than the one who has windows on it. Would ms have implemented that in winxp or did something wrong happen during the setup on my computer? It's not a problem at all, my pagefile is fine where it is, but i'm just curious.

That's weird, i have 23 gigs on my systemdrive I got a 2MB pagefile on the systemdrive and a 700 - 1500 on the D: drive...

I have tried everything allready: mapping ports, running a socks server (which helps for icq btw) but msn just doesn't want to send/recieve files on client computers... Same **** with yahoo messenger.

I hate error reporting, it's the first thing i disabled. I got errors after every reboot. But other than that no probs.

The junk is on his second drive. So i guess he formatted his c drive with ntfs and left the second in fat32. I'm pretty sure you can delete that 1.5gb of junk as it is not on the same drive as the operating system.

When the liveupdate fucntion expires after one year, it's sitll possible to manually update the virus definitions right?

That's weird. Systemworks 2001 installed fine here without disabling file protection.

I've been using sygate home network for more than a year on windows 2000 (i had a network with 2 win2k pro computers, server had dsl connection). I upgraded to winxp a while ago (both computers) and i'm still using sygate home network. i'ts the best NAT software around to me. And believe me, i've tried a lot of solutions: winroute pro: lost connection after a day or 2 in 2k, BSOD in xp wingate: bullshit, never worked comsocks: great little NAT software, but doesn't support shtml sites avirt proxy server: worked great in 2k, works in xp but makes my network places crash sambar proxy server: never got it to work here spoonproxy: very good program, but every application on clients must be configured manually (i still use that one as a socks server for icq) winproxy: worked fine for a while, but then it wouldn't load anymore, dunno why 602Pro LAN Suite 2000a: worked, but i believe everything has to be configured manually too PPPshar Pro 1.8.1: don't remember what was wrong with it anymore browsegate proxy server: don't remember either I tried some other small apps, but i don't remember the names... I really recommend sygate, i installed it, and never had to touch it again, it just loads as a service. www.sygate.com, it's about 40$ for 3 computers. The version on their site is build 803, but it has problems when a realtek nic is installed on the server when running xp. You can get a fixed build (805 and 806 on their ftp, 805 works great, i didn't test 806) sygate ftp: http://207.33.111.31 or ftp://207.33.111.31

I had the same problem. I made a new user then and used that one instead or the one that gives the error. But then the problem came back (after a few weeks), so i just the disabled error reporting service. It must be a bug in winxp as i've seen other people getting the error, friends of mine and also people on other boards.

PM7 works excellent here. I've been messing with partitions a lot of times, it never failed.

I'm still hesitating between two hardrives. A maxtor ATA133 40GB (see other post) and the cheap samsung 20 GB 5400RPM as a backup drive. I would like to know if samsung has a good reputation. Are there any known issues with samsung drives? Thanks.

I benchmarked my maxtor ata100 30GB 7200 RPM and my samsung ata100 40GB 5400 RPM both on a pci ata100 promise controller using sisoft sandra: maxtor score: 15932 (=performance below ata66) samsung score: 20916 (= performance between ata66 and ata100) How come the maxtor is so slow???

I recorded an avi from tv and i would like to make it a divx so i can put it on a cd. What's the best program to do that?

I don't have an ata133 controller, so buying a ata133 drive is kinda useless right now. I bought myself a seagate 40GB 5400 RPM and frankly, i can't see a difference in speed with my 30GB maxtor 7200 rpm. In my oppinion HD's are a question of luck. People who haven't had a single problem say it's good, others who had a broken one say it's crap... My maxtor crapped out on me within a week...I had to RMA it "great". I'll see how things go with the samsung. For now i'm pretty happy with it.

I got a hp970cxi on windows xp professional. Every time i print out something it finishes the job by printing a calibration page. I mailed HP about the problem, they told me to open the cover (the one you have to open to change cartridges) and to unplug the powercord, then to close the cover and wait 2 minutes so a capacitor has time to unload.... But that didn't help!!! Has anyone else experienced this before???

What's the use of the windowskey + Q combination??? I just found out by accident.

I'm planning to buy a new harddrive. I was thinking about the maxtor 40 GB ata133. I would like to know if it's gonna work on my promise ata100 pci controller. Can anyone help? Thanks.
