XP dOgg

Hey guys, i've been dormant for a while Got a quick question, How can i get rid of IE6 (completely) and bring 5.5 back to life? I tried uninstalling IE6, then installed 5.5, but no luck it was still IE6 after reboot, any ideas? or steps? TIA

h*tp://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/platform/performance/fastboot/default.asp The design goals for Windows XP on a typical consumer PC are: Boot to a useable state in a total of 30 seconds Resume from Hibernate (S4) in a total of 20 seconds Resume from Standby (S3) in a total of 5 seconds My Usable state is accomplished in 5 seconds, far from 30. Anyway thats a tip for anyone who has slow boot up.

have you packed your HDD up with software? I've noticed when I packed it up to at least below half its capacity (i have a seagate 30gig -> 14.9gig) it takes a bit longer then usual to process data, if you have it packed up with stuff you dont need, remove some items..

ya, plus XP isnt anything special, i just like the space2 wallpaper, that looks cool i reckon. Umm I saw that Fish tank screen save on a LCD screen, in a shop.. it looks mad on LCD hehe (i ended up buying that LCD - LG 563LE 15")

Thats very interesting, I better start leaving my PC on overnights and simply set some downloads then!.. Thanks for the tips.

Sorry, im refering to the post by FthrJACK, stating that the metal parts expand. Does this really happen?

Thats actually quite interesting to know, may I ask what your sources are for this information? (keeping pc on)

Looks like i cant send you the Screen Saver anyway, you need to 'agree' to the EULA. I tried using it, wouldnt work. Sorry.

I have XP Plus pack, do you want me to e-mail you the fish tank screen saver if its not too big?

Are you referring to the Thumbnail showing slowly? I sometimes get thumbnails showing up slowly in a DIR full of images.

I started getting too many little problems that got annoying. When i'd connect to the net it wouldnt tell me what speed in the nice little pop-up. Formatted today and edited the start button,progress bar and flashing taskbar buttons to blue. Looks much nicer i must say.

I had a good laugh with that. Btw is that Someone from this thread (dunno if i should even ask that) or is it DevilsOwn?

I know this may seem like a lame Thread/and or Question, But.. I was curious to know if anyone knows the history of Build 2600? Since alot of us use it.

yeah i did remove some components, cant rememeber which ones now. Forgot to back up the file as well, silly me Dont really want to format the PC, guess i'll just live without my 'effects'.

It used to say "Suddenly Everything Clicks". I remembered just now

I think it would be obvious to the experienced Computer user. But to the newbie, they'd have no idea whatsoever.

I run build 2600, not one problem whatsoever. no crashes, blue screens or any sluggish/lagged movement. got it from Direct-Connect, usa_2600_x86pro_no_activation.iso

Dont think anyone mentioned it, If you dual-boot with a 9x system or ME, install 9x/ME first, because it will screw your XP boot info up the a**.

NikNT - just drag the shortcut you want onto the quicklaunch.

Do you think XP Plus! could of done the trick? I can't really figure it out, it doesnt really bother me, but you know what its like when theres a problem and you just want to know how to fix the **** thing!

Like i said in another thread, takes me 5 seconds to boot up and READY in Administrator mode. With Windows 2000 Microsoft recommended not to use Administrator accounts for everyday usage because of the simple fact if you get hacked you lose the whole system. But... i found it really annoying to log in as admin to install a program, so i use Admin.

My Build 2600 Corporate edition boots up in 5 seconds. My Girlfriends Windows 2000 takes around 1 minute. i could be connected to the internet by the time she boots up, when will she realise?

With XP you get the Effects, which is in the display tab. For some reason, I can press this button 2000 times and nothing will happen. Last thing I did before it happened was Changing the windows software list, unhiding it so you can remove some components. Anyone have Ideas on how to get the effects back?

Its .WORLD-DOMINATION .NET is microsofts ticket so you can *use* the internet. I dont like .NET technologies, and passport all together, what the f**k gives them the right to know what im doing!?

Check this out, its quite old but still amusing! Someone in England managed to change the lettering to say Sucks on the last bit.
