is deleting cookies all the time really necessary? It must be a hard job for you to log in to every site when the cookies don't exist

don't start a lame neowin thing here, lol w00t

I find that fresh skunk, chopped down a week before is nicer than the stuff from the dealer. Also, Customs in the UK are allowing UK citizens to bring back as much tobacco/cigarettes as long as its for your own personal use. I'll probably take a coach trip to belgium and bring back loads of Drum tobacco

What's strange about it? Were you expecting it to do 50% of CPU usage since you're using an old processor? Not always. I put Win2k on an old 166Mhz, that sat at 3-4% usage if it wasn't in use.

Looking at your specs, its more than enough to run XP on it

Alcohol 120% is probably kickarse, since there are reports of it being able to copy the latest protections such as SafeDisc 2.8 and the new Securom (in UT2003)

I thought you was 24 or something?!!

OMG w00t MSFNR Microsoft Software Forum Network for the Retired

heh, downloading and watching movies on Uni network is fantastic, only took less than a second to download them all /me laughs at Tris's 1mb Blueyonder cable connection

From your screenshot, it looks like your WD drive is using the CPU resources (97%!!!) to transfer files. This means your HD is not in UDMA mode, and instead, it's using PIO. Check your device manager, into the properties of your primary IDE channel (or secondary, wherever you installed it to) and see what mode its running in. You also need to make sure its jumpered correctly, and the cable (black end is master, and grey end is slave). Another tip is never put a 7200rpm alongside a slower hard drive on the same cable otherwise it operates at the slower hard drive's speed.

The best way to get members is to affiliate with as many XP Tech sites as possible. Why not affiliate with MSFN?

Someone else in here got that too. You need a firewall to block the incoming messages. FthrJACK says Kerio Personal Firewall blocks them.

SP2 isn't even in the making yet (IIRC) just pre-sp2 hotfixes. So its purely speculation whether it will have a stronger protection against piracy. SP1 installed and slipstreamed fine with XP Corporate.

By default, the sound in .NET is disabled. Go to the Services to re-enable your Sound Audio

oh dear...

yep its been down all day.

Instead of choosing the Uninstall option, choose "Disable", its visible in your right click menu when you view your LAN card in Device Manager.

It should run fine on a 330MHz, providing you have at least over 32Mb RAM, otherwise it will refuse to install. Win2k shouldn't be too bad on it anyway.

This nigerian email scam was mentioned on Watchdog last week. Must have been a big scam

if he wants to host a website that gets... say 1000 visitors a day, current broadband services wouldn't be able to handle it, with the poor upload speed. (SDSL would be ideal to host a website though )

I thought that was you Tris

200Gb? That's a lot. If thats all your music, videos, and installation files for software and games, they don't really need backing up if they're kept on a seperate partition or hard disk. Usually the OS installation, and a few installed applications should only take up 2-3Gb, and its what I backup with Norton Ghost.

It makes an exact clone of your OS and installed applications, games and whatever else into one single file. If your OS ever got knackered, you can restore your previous state from the image file created by DriveImage or Norton Ghost. Its 100% flawless, unlike System Restore. http://www.powerquest.com http://www.symantec.com

its the rules cos flash sigs often freezes or slows IE down when the page loads.
