Sorry I didn't answer so far, uploading 1 GB somewhere is pretty hard nowadays I'll come back with a link as soon as possible. ...and thank you guys for being such nice in helping me! I really appreciate it!

Well I did exactly that and the system crashed (unlike it was supposed to, because it crashed from lack of memory before I got to use the shortcut), I found the memory dump but it's gibberish... Is there a dump analyzer I can use? Also, unpleasantly enough, I found that a number of files in %systemdir% got corrupted and I lost some fortunately not important data; had to reinstall Firefox (it was open when the crash occured) and a few other small pieces of software. Now I have a memory dump I don't know what to do with and some time spent bringing back some programs to life

I'm using Avast! Antivirus; I've had an issue with Avast! Antivirus concerning its P2P Shield (slowed down transfers A LOT!) so I disabled it. I also tried NOD32 but I had too many false alarms so I uninstalled it. I don't care to mention Symantec products, they're bloatware.

Oh, forgot to mention, 1024 MB (2x512 MB). Dual-Channel DDR 500, set at 400 MHz with tighter timings.

Hi there all! This problem I'm having also occured under Windows Xp 32-bit. It's been pestering me since forever! Here's the issue: I have several HDDs installed in my system. They have been of various brandnames and sizes, constantly upgraded in time, changed HDDs with others and so on. So it really doesn't matter which HDds I currently have, but I'll tell anyway. The OS HDD is a Samsung SpinPoint 1612, ATA 133, 160 GB. The second HDD is a Samsung SpinPoint SATAII, 160 GB and I have an external USB2.0 HDD which is a 40 GB Maxtor, mainly used for data transfer. Whenever I copy a large file from one partition to another or from a HDD to another, the OS slows down more and more, until it comes to a point where I cannot do anything, the HDDs crunch data like crazy and I wait literally minutes to even swith from a window to another or to pop out the Start menu. The transfer speed (checked with Total Commander) drops to a petty 700-800 KB/s and the HDDs crunch and crunch and crunch... paradoxically, if I limit the transfer speed (with Total Commander) to 16 MB/s, the copying goes just fine. The transfer rate caps at 16MB/s and I can work with the OS. I've installed Sysinternals' Process Explorer to check what exactly is transferring data but got no clue. Sometimes, the OS HDD starts working, it crunches data and Process Explorer tells me there's no disk activity Indexing Service is disabled, System Restore is disabled, and I noticed the cache size increases to huge amounts during large file copying. Apparently, Windows moves runing software data from memory to swap to make room for the files I'm copying, which, I'd like to say, is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. The question is, how do I stop Windows from doing that (except from installing Linux, of course, which works just fine BTW)? Thank you in advance!

Actually, it's quite weird that Forceware shows no control panel as the installation kit is no less than 34 MB. A pack of this size surely doesn't include only the .INF and some basic DLLs. I have a GeForce 6600GT and no Control Panel. I know the drivers are beta, as well as the Operating System but still it's pretty weird.

I have created an unattended setup of NIS2005 using the infos in this topic. After restarting, I ran the automated install procedure and it installed successfully, works perfectly. I then took my second HDD and installed a fresh Windows XP Pro on it. Tried the unattended setup and installed OK, I restarted and everything worked just fine. HOWEVER, when I ran LiveUpdate, during update, a window popped out asking me to activate the product, then NIS2005 disabled itself and wouldn't run anymore. Here's my files as follows: NIS.reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore\00000083] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore\00000083\00000028] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore\00000083\00000028\000000d8] "Key"="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\InstalledApps] "AVENGEDEFS"="C:\\PROGRA~1\\COMMON~1\\SYMANT~1\\VIRUSD~1" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\SharedDefs] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\SharedDefs\MicroDefs] "LastBinUpdate"=hex:01,00,00,00 "LastTextUpdate"=hex:01,00,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\SharedUsage] setup.bat: @echo off Echo Installing NIS2005...

I really can't tell what went wrong... Later Edit: I am so dumb! I really did something sooo stupid. I have just forgot to put the serial number in the NIS.reg so there were just a lot of X'es there Sorry about posting with no reason, as you can see...
