Open Event Viewer and check to see if anything is logged in there. Start>Run>eventvwr.msc My first guess is the memory, bad ram will cause the system to randomly die. Also though the temp isnt "too high" maybe the kill switch is set low? And I doubt this applies but I've met people who aimed space heaters at themselves and their computers

I like to remove the PUO's and whatnot, you need to first 'decrypt' the dvd in order to do this. http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/guides.htm 1) DVD Decrypter 2) Clonedvd + Anydvd 3) DVD Shrink

id bet your speed problem IS norton! Seriously. Not only is it 'poor' at virus detection, it the clunkiest software i know of next to aol. Disabling services will speed up your boot and use less resources while your pc is on. Blackviper (use google) has a good explanation of these and a list of reccomended settings. Was the SP2 update slipstreamed? otherwise ive noticed it slows things down, slipstreaming it though has no affect on system performance according to many users, including myself.

it installs with an MSI, its just burried within several folders on the CD, if I remeber right.

what model hard drive is it? Ive seen/heard of this so many times, ugh . btw is it a SATA drive?

ive had no luck getting this slipstreamed either. for now im using runonceex. REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Media Center Edition 2005 with HDTV Support Update Rollup 1 (KB873369)" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\windowsxpmediacenter2005-kb873369-enu.exe /q /o /n /z" /f

why dont we use torrents for these sort of things?

i remeber the days when I had to use spybot and adaware because "crap" would get installed on users machines through Internet Explorer and AOL, those were the dark days. now I use Firefox to surf the web, no more spyware EVER! yadda yadda yadda. Stop wasting your valuable time, use Firefox.

I had a VAIO laptop, I'm glad I sold the thing. Sony was terrible with drivers, and support overall imo. Backlight/Inverter died after about a year and a half, $150 to have it repaired in NJ (sony wanted $600!). Got it fixed, sold it, and bought a nice desktop with the moola and never looked back B)

Daemon Can be installed completely silently, NOT in runonceex.cmd though. cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "daemontools.cmd" "REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg" "RunOnceEx.cmd" daemontools.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off for %%a in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%a:\win51ip.SP2 set CDROM=%%a: START /wait %CDROM%\Software\Daemon347.msi /quiet /passive /qn /norestart REBOOT=ReallySuppress EXIT That will do it.

EASY. Download Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPack MassStorage. Use Method 1. Tada. Well, go check it out and tell us how it goes. However it looks like he got hit with the webworm from google.

dotnetfx is garbage, ive been deleting it for months without problems. you can also delete the win9x folders in I386 if you dont use the cd to upgrade from earlier versions of winodows.

Associate Exta Media Types with Windows Media Player. Below is the contents of WMP_AssociateFiletypes.reg and WMP_AssociateFiletypes.cmd, they both do the same job.

This post has what you need to be able to play APE, FLAC, OGG, MPC, Quicktime and Real media files in WMP10. First you need the directshow filters, which you can download below. For Quicktime and Realmedia you will also have to download Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative. Second if you want to register these media types to open with WMP10 just scroll down to the second post to see how. DOWNLOAD: UPDATE: CoRoNe has put together a comprehensive Directshow Filter Pack!

you can always drag and drop hotfixes into nlite and it will slipstream them, the easiest way to do this imo. no other work to do.

i didnt check it, but i like the math.

A usefull program i've used for a little while. It came in handy when I wanted to remove unwanted entries in the context menu. No Installer or reg entries, just a clean exe file. It also gives the CLSID so you can make regtweaks from it. B) http://www.snapfiles.com/get/shellexview.html

nice, what case is that?

Ok so I got the 7.0 Basic, extracted the MSI and CAB file, used this switch and it installed silently: REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 7.0 Basic" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Adobe\AdobeReader7.msi TRANSFORMS=Adobe_Reader_7.0.mst /qb-" /f I used the MST posted but I DO see a Yahoo "Search the Internet" Button, the regtweak below hides it, but after closing and reopening a few times it reappeared. Can the Yahoo Seach NOT be installed? Also how are people creating MST files for these? Pardon me but I only know how to do that with Office?

So adobe releases 6.03 and then throws out 7.0 overnight. sheesh. Does the MST in this thread do anything for the 7.0 Basic Version? I downloaded the basic install and extracted the msi and cab, do i need anything else before i try my next unattended?

The most disurbing flash series imo, the problem is i watched 1 and wondered how screwed up the rest were. one thing i was wondering is where he got such creepy strange music from? (i didnt read the credits) I reccomend watching something else with your time, this stuff is just sick.
