Can you please tell me how to turn off Windows File Protection in WinXP Pro? Thanks.

Yes. I sort of get what you are saying. But that is still confusing. For example, at my work, two computers are both set up for administrator accounts, with a different password for each. The password dialogue comes up. If I set up two different computers in WinXP with different accounts/passwords, the dialogue does not come up. Thanks.

So by changing that option, will I get the dialogue that asks for a passwords when I am trying to access my computer from another terminal?

Ok. I know this is not a hardware question, but the Network section of this forum seems to be a little dormant. Here is the problem I am having. Let's say there are two computers, Computer A and Computer, both loaded with Win2k. A network is set up on both of these computers, and both are included in a Windows workgroup. Let's say now I am on Computer A. I try to access Computer B from Network Places, and when I try to, a small dialog pops up that states: Enter Network Password Connect as: Password: Now I know you can do this on Win2k. How do I enable this option on my home network, which has WinXP? Everytime I access another computer on the network, the connection goes right through without asking me for a password, etc. Thanks.

Do you mean by BIOS overclocking (Jumperless) or jumper overclocking?

Quote: Just the double amount of 2nd level cache (512k on Northwood, 256k on your current CPU) will make a nice difference. Then of course the Northwood's can alo be nicely overclocked. I'm not an overclocker myself, so personally I'm waiting for the Northwood B CPU's and will initially hopefully be running it in my ASUS P4T-E (I know my Samsung RDRAM will happily run on a 133Mhz FSB). Might be worth waiting a little while, once the Northwood B's are available en mass the Northwood A's will drop nicely in price. ??!???!???!?!?!!! So are you saying that I would be able to overclock to 133FSB using my Asus P4T-E?

Of course. Thanks. I appreciate it.

But yeah. If I can overclock the 1.6A to, like, 2.xxx, of course I would see a good performance increase, not night and day though.

Ok guys. I have been thinking about upgrading my system. My current rig has become too slow, well, sort of. I wanna get a P4 1.6 Northwood and probably a better video card. You could take a look at my system specs below. Before we delve into anything, let me ask: Is it possible to get a P4 1.6 Northwood and overclock it to 133FSB using my current mainboard? Or what is the max overclock I can do to that processor using my current board? Otherwise, I would appreciate any suggestion of a motherboard that can overclock the 1.6 Northwood to 2.3 or higher. Also, please advise on the best type of DDR. Thanks.

Yep. Been there, done that. But hey. Don't sweat it. I just think that if it is gonna cause me all this hassle, I'll forget it. Thanks Clutch and Sampson.

Whoa, hold on a sec. I didn't know that these things have BIOSs on them. It sure don't look like to me. There is only the big fat NEC chip in the center. Second, the drivers were just regular NEC drivers, because the card is a "generic", if you wanna put it that way. Where could I find drivers for USB 2.0, by the way? Thanks.

Ok guys. Got a problem, and would appreciate some help. It's not usual that I get any problems at all, but I'm stymied by this one.... I just bought a USB 2.0 PCI controller with an NEC chip on it. If I install it on Windows XP, it detects and installs fine, but there is a small entry in the device manger that says "Unknown device...". I'm not sure if the card works fine or not with USB 2.0 because I don't have any USB 2.0 devices. ;( The card works fine with USB 1.1 devices. Another issue is that after installing, Windows XP lost the ability to hibernate. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Meaning???

No sweat man, but, just to get WinXP working right, I almost re-installed every day!!!!!!!
