My first reaction is that LBP660 is an "old" printer. Are there XP drivers for it? You might be able to find some W2K drivers that might work. My second reaction is that you might want to be concerned about the power output going to that printer through your USB port once you resolve the driver issue. Know this does not resolve your issue, but if you do find the appropriate drivers, you should be able to install them as you typically would through Add a Printer and pointing to wherever you have saved the downloaded drivers on your hard drive.

How are your CD and DVD roms connected? Master/Slave Primary/Secondary IDE? If the DVD is not a read/write make a slave an see if that changes things.

If it is hardware related, you will not be able to do much about it, but you didn't mention when the problem first occurred. What operating system was installed on it originally? Did it start to misfunction and you installed other OS's or did you just "upgrade" and then afterward it started with the error messages? Do you have the latest BIOS version for that machine? Did you try to flash the BIOS? When you installed the other Os's did you clean install them or just have them overwrite what was there? I had a machine that gave me this kind of error. It turned out not to be hardware but a corrupted font. Unfortunately, these bluescreen errors are not much helpful in diagnosing a problem. Most laptops come with a crash disk that contain the specific inf's for that machine. You should run this crash disk and let it clean install the original configuration. If it continues to bluescreen on you, there is a higher probability of certainty that it is hardware related.

Not sure when the rumor started and I don't know it as a fact, but I have seen it on other boards that a pirated copy of XP will turn all users to Guests after a while. If you have a legitimate copy of XP, just do a clean install. At least then you will know if it hard ware related or not.

Sounds like a hardware failure or Windows caused your hard drive to crash in the bootstrap section. Can you get into your BIOS. It is there that you can select to boot from the CD. While you are in there you want to make sure that the Hard drive is being recognized also.

Do as Alex suggests though to really help you a lot more information is needed. I am presuming that you are using XP as the operating system, but which "Small Business Office" are you using? They come in several flavors - 97, 2000, XP. But, given that, Publisher is not usually included in the Small Business package. Generally it includes Word, Excel, some include Powerpoint and Outlook. My second question is "how did you install it?" My third question is you spoke of a "small" desktop crash. Exactly, what kind of "crash" was it? Did it reboot? Did the screen just blank out? Describe what happened. Go to the Control Panel and bring up Add/Remove Programs and see if the Small Business Package is actually installed. If it is there, you can actually click on it to repair the installation. It will call for the CD. Since what you seem to want is a word processor that acts like Word for Windows, you can download a package called 602: http://www.software602.com/ which have two modules that act like Word and Excel. They cost nothing. If you want the Full Spell Checker/Thesaurus, it is a minimal fee. As to Publisher, if it is not on your machine already, you will need to purchase it.

The FX 5200 is a competent card though not really renowned for its game play. As to the quality of the mpeg images, much of this is dependent upon how it was shot. Make sure that the color quality is set to 32bit - that you use a higher resolution - and that you use the highest refresh rate for your monitor. All of this is accessed by right clicking on the Desktop and choosing Properties and selecting the tab Settings.

You will want to go into your Bios and disable your onboard sound driver. When you bring up Windows, you will want to remove any of the soundboard devices. Then, shut it down. Install your new soundboard. If windows finds it, it will tell you that you have new hardware. If it doesn't you will have to go into the Device Manager and Add it using the software that came with the card. As to the second problem - you may have an overheating processor. This is just a guess on my part. Since you are opening the thing up to put in a new card, leave it open so that a lot more air can get to it and then bring up the programs that stress it and see if it reboots. Some people even run a fan on it. This is no sure fire way of telling you if there is a heat problem because AMD processors get hot fast. There are some software programs that can measure the temperature of the processor that you might want to try to see if your fan on the processor is pulling the heat away or if the heatsink is making good contact.

Actually, a call to Microsoft might be in order. You changed enought of your configuration to cause XP not to recognize your machine and it makes XP think that you are trying to install it on a second machine.

When you get your legitimate copy, clean install it. It may want to "repair" the previous install. Don't let it. With a clean install you should eradicate all traces of the pirated version and you should be able to go to Microsoft to register your legitimate version. Then, go to Windows update and install all of the Service Packs especially those that are critical.

There are so many variants of this worm.

Insofar as it is recognizing your 512gig of ram, you have no worries that the board recognizes both sticks. On the other hand, it does not mean that that there are not bad modules on the sticks. There are plenty of free ram testing software programs that can check the ram. So, exactly what is the problem. Are you having intermittant reboots? Is your video card faltering?

It would probably be best if you were to list the Motherboard. It may just be the way I am reading the posting but you may be confusing the speed of the AGP with the Front Side Bus Speed. If your motherboard is really old, your AGP may only be 2X. If it is, your new video card will not work with a 2X board. I suspect that your AGP speed is probably not 2X, but you will need to go into your BIOS to disable your onboard video and have it default to AGP on boot up. To be on the safe side after bootup, you should remove the Nvidia drivers, reboot, and install the newest Nvidia drivers from their website.

Go to www.majorgeeks.com . You can get most of them there. Don't forget to get BHODemon 2.0 also. After you run this, don't expect immediately to be able to get on the internet. This problem could also be cause by the AOL protocols installed that sometimes messes up Windows TCP/IP protocols. One thing that is also easy to check is to see if you are operating behind a proxy. Also, if you have a firewall installed, you want to allow the ports for your wireless be in the trusted zone.

Perhaps, if you would go through the steps that you used to network the computers, we would have a clue. Did you install netbeui? You could go here: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/netbeui.htm to step you through that. Or, did you use TCP/IP and asssign addresses? Again, if you will give some specifics, it would help.

Sorry you are having such problems. This should take you to the page that is the support for the Presarios at HP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softw...&rule=33464 Compaq used to hide part of the BIOS on a hidden area on the hard drive. That was in the days of Windows 95 and 98. My feeling is that since this is an older board the AGP may only be 2X, and it may possibly be damaged or that portion of the configuration for the AGP at bootup may be in that hidden partition (or a special .inf only Compaq's had). If the support or drivers are not available at HP (I didn't know which Presario you had) or if the site is no help to you at all, see if you can get your hands on a PCI video card and see if you can install it. You will not then have to worry about the BIOS.

There is a utility found here http://www.usb.org/developers/tools/ to test the USB ports to see if they are properly enumerating the device found and whether they are actually communicating.

Sorry, should have asked this question earlier. Are you working through a proxy with your internet connection or is it directly connected?

Try accessing the page with the XPFirewall disabled. If you are able then to get through, you can go into the XPFirewall into the excludes for this page and re-enable the Firewall.

Doubt that it is your browser. I've seen this kind of error in javascrip and asp.net. In both cases the program at the website is closing down the connection due to a timeout, but they do not assign the closeout value to "nothing" after terminating.

Sorry to get back to you so late. Went to Gigabyte myself to see what was up. Obviously, this board came out post-XP and Gigabyte claims that the AGP drivers are given in XP. What you are looking for is the AMD AGP miniport drivers. Under 95,98, ME and 2000 these were installed separately. Try this utility that can be downloaded from here: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/utilities/AMDdrvpk_130.exe It is the AMD power drive pack that should look at your system and help you put the miniport driver in to change it to 2X. Also Powerstrip should be able to for do it, but you would have to do this after each bootup.

Quite possibly when your computer went down from the first failure this was written to an error to be sent to Microsoft but couldn't be sent until you got it up and going with your second power supply. Is the machine going now with no problems?
