Thanks, that seemed to have fixed it

I recently bought a Logitech mx3100 desktop and only have one problem with it...my character gets stuck in UT2004 while playing online. I have determined that it is infact the mouse, and or keyboard by reinstalling xp but not installing setpoint. More on UT: It seems that the mouse is getting out of sync (when using logitech driver) causing my player to hang for a couple of seconds before he finally starts moving again. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? If so, please let me know how you managed to fix it, if you were able. It is quite a shame to spend so much on a keyboard and mouse and not be able to use all of its functionality.

Ok, I installed nvidia dvd decoder and got the mpegs to play on the media center pc, now I have another problem. My entender will not play the mpegs. A small box appears in the lower left corner that you can go to that says "Video Error: Files needed to display video are not installed or working correctly. PLease restart Media Center and/or restart the computer." So I followed those directions and still get that error. mp3's play over the extender so I'm guessing its a simple setting that I can't find.

Ok, I recently got a hp x5400 media extender and am wanting to watch ripped videos. I have the videos ripped into .vob files (mpeg) and .ifo files, problem is, the media center app does not recognize these files, just says I am browsing a blank folder. I installed powerdvd and started the files in media player to get the codecs and such but still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the answer to my question. If the processor is an x86 Family 6 Model 1 or Model 3 windows server 2003 will only use one cpu. I have a x86 Family 6 Model 5. I'm guessing this means I can use both cpu's? For more information go to: MS Support DB Thanks to those that helped.

good question...i'll have to check it out. hopefully thats it

You could be right but from what I was told, microsoft disabled support because there is a flaw built in to the chip. And your point about the license type, I thought of that too, but dunno if it means anything

ok, so since there is only one graph, only one cpu is being used. I would imagine there is a reg hack or something that can enable the 2nd cpu....

I'm pretty positive w 2k3 is not utilizing both cpu's. If both were used, wouldnt there be 2 cpu graphs in the performance tab in task manager?

I have an old proliant 1600 with 300mb ram and dual p2 450's. I was told by a network admin that it is not possible to use dual p2's in server 2003 because of a flaw in the cpu. If this is true, is there any way to bypass this? Thanks in advance.
