isnt there only one lens though??

i've just noticed an odd problem with my dads Dell Dimension XPS Gen 4. the dvd drive will read cds but wont read any dvd (it just tells me "please insert a disc into drive e:"), whether its a mass produced one (ex. the dell dvd) or a burnt one. the OS is an Nlited version of MCE that i made for him so he could install everything easily while im away at college. i dont believe that i removed the dvd drivers from the install cd. anyone have a solution? thanks

yea it does suck, how do i change the active partition?

CPU 4.9 AMD 62 x2 4200 RAM 4.5 1GB DDR 400 (2x512mb) Graphics 5.9 Nvida GeForce 7600GT Gaming Graphics (511mb available) 5.3 HDD 5.2 seems my ram is the bottle neck, gotta get more this is running vista ultimate 32bit and with nothing overclocked

best command prompt replacement ever: 4nt

cool thanks. one correction, i had to go to tools>folder options in that folder instead of via the control panel

is there any way to set global view settings for folders? all my folders are set to detail and i like them set as medium icons. any way to set this w/o doing it individually?

i installed the dreamscene preview but yet it doesnt work. when i right click on my desktop it says "play DreamScene (Preview)" but the button is grayed out what gives??

thanks, ive never really understood the boot.ini file. this is the line from it: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS and its located on disk 0 and the first (only) logical partition. theres only 3 partitions: the logical with xp inside it and a primary partition. i didnt change the location of xp so it should still work right? vista is on disk 1

now i cant boot into my xp64 installation

why dont you do it?

yea i found those while browsing through the board thanks

i have an A8N-SLI and i installed (what i believe to be) the correct chipset drivers from nvidia (nforce4 sli amd), yet my sound still doesnt work. it says that there inst a driver installed for it. anyone else have this problem or have a solution to it?

is there any way to turn this off?? its really annoying

kde (core) all the way i hate gnome!

is this version x64 compatabile?

id have to say xp pro x64 since its based off of 2003 and i actually do have a 64 bit processor

i figured they were, i remember deleting them b4 with no ill effects

interresting, but unlocker is alot easier lol

ive been wondering this for quite some time, autoexec.bat config.sys IO.sys and MSDOS.sys are all 0 bytes. are they actually needed? what are they there for if they dont contain anything??

dunno if this was already posted or not but no matter what i do using this beta the first screen always pops up (the one where it asks you to enter your name and your organization) i figured it might be a fluke an went back to 1.2 and surely enough it was.

thanks didnt think about that! nah thats a waste, VMware is better

i have an LG VX8300 and something ive removed wont let me install the drivers, when i use a basic (regular) xp 64 installation it works but on the installation im using now wont let me install the drivers. i have another UA made already cuz this one was giving me problems but i dont wanna waste another DVD when i find out the same thing happens. this is the lastsession.ini for the new UA i created. see if you can find anything that i should keep in for it.

dell shipped my dads computer with a XP MCE UA cd and it always seems to screw up his computer, ive put xp on there a few times but he complains that he cant use his TV card in XP. is there a way to take the TV part out of MCE or something like that? if not whats a good freeware/shareware tv app? i know sagetv is good but neither of us are gonna be willing to pay $70 for it

hmm didnt know that about 2k3, thats one thing ive always hated about xp is its overdone helpfulness
