This file is called Winnt.exe located in your /i386 folder on your CD. Run this file to install XP from DOS. Remember to run smartdrv.exe before executing winnt.exe so that you can speed up your cd-rom drive file transfer.

Fiddle around with your Language Toolbar settings a bit, remove keyboard languages you don't need. It should disappear on the next reboot. I've had it appear when I install a fresh copy of XP on a PC, and sometimes not. (Windows works in mysterious ways!) Desktop Switcher? You mean the slide show from the powertoys?

FthrJACK is a very unlucky guy! First NIS f***ed his PC up, and now the start button utility. LOL

WinKey + L WinKey is between your CTRL and ALT key. If you want your PC lock to be password-protected, set a password on your admin account in the Control Panel > Users section. You can use TweakUI to login automatically with your password to save you typing it in on WinXP boot up.

hey, that News Agent on your site looks cool, I'll download and install this :spaced

He means a trial evaluation fix, in other words... a *cough* crack *cough*

WinRAR 2.90 Final is out ht*p://www.rarsoft.com Hope it supports Winace's 2.xx compression athorigms now, if it does, then winace is coming off my system!

yeah it runs on a 200MHz, its got at least over 64mb ram anyway, but it would load up and run programs very slowly! Even my mate's 450MHz AMD K6 and 192mb of SDRAM is a slow pain in the a** with XP

You can use the win98 boot disk. Use the FDISK tool and delete the 'NON-FAT' partition it reports, cos thats NTFS. You can then create a new partition, and format as FAT32, then install win98 back on. (remember to enable large disk support upon starting the fdisk.exe program when it asks, so that it will format as FAT32 instead of FAT16) FDISK.exe is on the win98 bootdisk. Alternatively, you can boot from the win2k cd, go through a couple of setup pages, then choose to reformat as FAT32, then abort the win2k setup.

You will need IRC Server software, and I don't know of any. But you will be needing to keep your PC on *all* the time with no reboots and a 'always on' internet connection to keep this server online to prevent annoying other users on it. It requires a lot of setting up (chanserv, nickserv and all that) I wouldn't bother.

or boot.ini (open it up in notepad)

The latest one released last week, its on neowin.net if you look into the old news articles. To use this feature, go to Control Panel > Desktop > Slide Show tab

This isn't a bug. Moved to Hardware forum.

Yes, a login screen helps to slow down the fast XP boot up speed, thus helping ZoneAlarm to load when the OS has calmed down.

Nice! I've added this to my wallpaper collection. If anybody wants to know, the new powertoys file has a feature where it can change your desktop wallpaper at a set time, e.g every 5 mins, or every 2 hours, whenever you like.

no webpage needed. I don't have one on my vzone.virgin.net webspace. Files are also case-sensitive. if you upped it as BaD.zip then the link "bad.zip" won't work. but "BaD.zip" would.

have you got bad.zip hosted on the webspace? If it isn't there, then it makes a 404 NTL page appear.

join a channel /join #xxxxx (xxxxx being whatever you want to call it) then in the status window type /chanserv help for commands on how to register a channel.
