  1. I have been an Intel guy forever but the past few months AMD has been getting better reviews. Now with Windows XP64 out mabey I should switch to AMD. I play video games like Half Life 2 and Intel LGA775 chips are better for that I think. Planning for the future it might be better to own a 64-bit chip. I'm looking to spend between 250-300 on a CPU.

  2. Come on, it is virtually impossible to write almost any program perfectly without any bugs let alone an operating system. Not only that but some of the patches are for things that were not around when XP first came out. IE the malicious software removal tool. I do not know of any program that once it is released the company stops supporting it and does not release any updates or newer versions.

  3. Are you using a Logitech mouse or keyboard with either The Logitech Mouse Ware software or The Logitech iTouch software loaded? Version 9.10 and 9.24 of MouseWare and pre 1.5 of iTouch will cause an error similar to what you are describing. If this is the case just go to logitech.com and download the latest software :)

  4. I am asking anyone who reads this...

    If you can make a program to scan a directory, and list all the file names it finds in a .TXT file. That way we can then copy and paste out of it and into our DRVINDEX.INF it will make maintaining the CAB a very simple matter.  :thumbup

    dir /b > filename.txt

    simple enough if this is what you are talking about

  5. What kind of noise is it? High pitch, that makes me think speaker maybe if you have a built in speaker to the mobo. Does the noise happen if you just let the PS run idle, like not in an OS or anything. For example in the bios or something. Regardless I agree with amoss24, if you just bought it and your 100% sure it’s coming from the PS and chances are its defective you should get a new one. Last thing you want is your PSU short circuiting your mobo or worse. I remember at work when one of our APC units blew. All these loud popping noises, smoke everywhere. Somehow all my servers were ok but the UPS was gone. Better of exchanging it now and not having to worry about it later on.

  6. VBS SCRIPT

    strComputer = "."
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
       & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
       & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
    Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
       ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
    For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
       Wscript.Echo "Install Date: " _
          & objOperatingSystem.InstallDate
    Next

  7. Weather you have an external hard drive or an internal hard drive it is generally the SAME DRIVE. The difference is when it is outside it talks to the computer using USB or Fire wire connections. You can make the hard drive bootable but if your computers BIOS does not support booting from USB it will not work. What do you mean buy a bootable hard drive? Do you want to purchase a drive with XP-Pre-installed on it? That would be hard to do to configure it to your system specs. Somebody asked me yesterday actually, they wanted to go to Best Buy and purchase a hard drive for his computer with XP already installed. I said they do not just sell drives like that because the same drive would have to be set-up differently if it was a Pentium 2 machine then if you had like an amd 64 bit machine

  8. Are you logging in locally or on a domain? If your machine is part of the domain maybe you can log in as a domain admin and manage my computer to create a new account? Also I would try taking out the new hard drive you put in. Go back to the way it was when it worked. It could have been a coincidence that it just happened as well... who knows. I remember once I was not able to log into a machine and it turned out one of the keys on the keyboard was broken and that’s why it was not working. I doubt last known good profile will work. I think you can actually call up Microsoft and get them to help you with it but it costs $$$. I heard that once anyway. All I can think of off the top of my head.
