That error message is supposed to mean that it failed to access 127.0.0.1. Thus it's strange that unloading the service you're talking about would cause that.

I dunno, because according to documentation I saw a long time ago, it said that the location of the boot files didn't matter with later versions of DOS. (5.0 and later) If it's DOS 3.3 or earlier, then it's the most strict, the boot loader is required to be at the beginning of the HDD.

What problem occurred when using Norton SpeedDisk on a Seagate HDD? Did the BIOS suddenly fail to detect the HDD or did the HDD's SMART error out on you? It's starting to look like the boy who cryed "Wolf!". I never heard of that literally occuring! I don't like to say this, but this actually sounds like a rumor spread by a computer illiterate person. You know, usually the ones that call the case the CPU and have a tendency to blame everything on the HDD. LOL. (not you) The HDD probably was bad. If the HDD's bad, defragging it can make it unusable.

Boo! Napster sucks! Won't even let you play a song more than 5 times.

That really sucks! In fact, that sounds more like my K6-2 450 mhz! (But I can't recall Windows getting corrupted from the OC) I would get lock ups at just +50 mhz!

But wait! The author of MicroWinX, gdogg may have successfully removed LSASS! But that's with Windows XP. I dunno.

its not ide cable,i changed it anyway but no change.and i didnt install any driver for my ide,except the new nforce 6.70 driver and is installed in both of my windows's. and about the smart feature,its disabled and no option in my bios for it.kinda creepy. Even when SMARTmon tools says that SMART is disabled, it may still be enabled and it seems to still read the SMART values from the HDD.

Actually, to fix that problem, you're required to replace the IDE cable (this also applies to SATA, which uses a narrower cable) Or if using an IDE driver from the chipset manufacturer, please go back to the Microsoft IDE driver. Some IDE drivers are buggy. Had a buggy IDE driver cause Windows to suddenly start BSOD'ing and rebooting. Also, while your at it, please get SMARTmon tools at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/smartmo...32.zip?download and check the SMART values of your HDD!

Your processor overclock likely is unstable. Did you check the voltages. Does this only occur with a cold boot? If it does, monitor the voltages for a cold boot voltage feed problem. Your motherboard may not be giving your processor enough Vcore during a cold boot or after log offs. Also, if it's the RAM, you usually would get a STOP: 0x00000050 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA BSOD instead. Be on the lookout for a STOP: 0x00000050 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA BSOD.

That probably would be a crash, not a power down literally like someone pulled the plug. If your PC literally powers down, it's probably the motherboard's processor thermal protection being triggered. Dust bunnies in your heatsink can cause this problem.

"STOP: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" BSODs in your case are likely to be caused by crappy processor chip steppings. Even more so if OC'ing your processor. Less likely to be the RAM's fault.

No, no, and NO! Do you have ANY idea how much of a hassle it causes for the average user if they were to remove IE from Windows? Take a second and step back from your own technical knowledge, and compare that with your average person at the local "free wireless" coffee shop. If they're running Windows XP, think about the chances that: a ) They know about nLite b ) They've done any sort of system modification c ) They've got a package based security setup d ) They care Telling the average user (or even a more advanced user) that they should potentially cause compatibility issues on their computer is just a bad idea. The website that I need to use to log in at my university NEEDS IE. Doesn't work in Firefox, doesn't work in Opera, and doesn't work in Safari (p***es the hell out of Mac users). Long of the short of it - it's a bad idea to suggest removing IE. There are SO many parts of Windows that you apparently don't use that rely on IE - removing it would break them and probably void a large chance of them being able to find online help (aside from the nlite forum). How come I never got spyware or adware using IE? What N1K said... That's the web site writer's fault that it requires Internet Explorer. The majority of web sites are fine with Firefox. Also, the majority of things are fine with Internet Explorer removed. It's mostly little things here and there that are broken. Also, there's some software that will check for Internet Explorer, but that's mostly non-game applications. Also, FOSS (free and open source) software usually never require Internet Explorer!

Whatever. I hope that I don't have to report this thread to a mod.

The "Hardware malfunction" BSOD don't have a stop error code, AFAIK. It instead looks like the following: ***Hardware malfunction. Please contact technical support. (or similar) Then that's it! Possible causes: Wrong jumper setting for a PCI device, including a jumper on the motherboard for an onboard device. A PCI card isn't seated properly.

It would be a power down, not a reboot, AFAIK.

for xp maybe YES, but for win2k better say NO, lot's user having Virtual Memory issue on win2k (cause win2k never designed to play a game lol) but still "i lov'in it" (no Mc Donald's Advertisement here) the word "junk" is something funny, example : we all know "junk food" was and it still "eat-able" so the OS, when it is junk, doesn't mean it can't being use Both Windows 2000 and Windows XP are based on the same OS kernel, so both should run games well. Windows XP may run games better than 2K, but Windows 2K is still light years ahead of POS Windows 98/ME when it comes to modern PC gaming. I dare any of the Windows 98SE obsessers and lovers to try and find out that the EA Sports 2006 games won't stand a chance to run on junker Windows 98/ME. But, that's probably because EA is lazy. Also, EA likely put an arbitrary OS check so that it refuses to run just because of the OS version being reported! LOL! Even GTA: San Andreas reportedly can work under Windows 98 SE! There probably was just a stupid OS check in the installer for the game. If you ask me, that's retarded! Just like when some installers refuse to continue just because you don't have Internet Explorer! LOL once again! Also, with some games by Microsoft, (no major surprise) the package says that Windows XP is required! Says that it won't run even under Windows 2000! But it's likely an arbitrary OS check. It it's an arbitrary OS check, then it will run under Windows 2000 if you lie to it that the OS is Windows XP! Likely just by telling the application that the version number is 5.1. It's likely that they refuse to let you play the game just because of the OS version number being reported being less than 5.1! There are ways around the OS check. However, there is NO way any of those EA Games will run on junker Windows 98/ME because Windows 98/ME are so different from Windows 2000/XP. You can run Battlefield 2 on Windows 2000 even though it only supports Windows XP because Windows 2000 is still an NT based OS. In no way will it stand a chance to run on POS Windows 98/ME even if you circumvent the OS check because the binaries just won't run on a POS OS like Windows 98/ME. OK, but now I'm definitely p***** that people are planning to make applications refuse to run under Windows 2000! Also, Skype is crippled under Windows 2000! According to Skype, the video chat feature requires Windows XP! That sucks for people that like Windows 2000. I'm testing Windows 2000 Pro with the FDV fileset on the PC I have with the most powerful processor. (A7N8X-X with Athlon XP Barton 3000+ OC'ed to around 2.4 Ghz) (I plan to go higher) It uses less resources than Windows XP, even when nLite'ed!

Yeah well I hope it does! RAwR! Strangely enough, Windows 2000 was really awesome at the time. Somewhere down the line, XP was released...I started getting messenger popups(and nuked every one of these morons trying to bug me). Around the release of SP1 for XP I started getting svchost errors and couldn't figure out what was causing it. It turns out that blaster was the problem. I switched over to Windows .NET Server and that fixed it for a while. I couldn't update the OS, so that got me to go back to XP. After a year I went back to 2000 to see if the problem was still there and it was. Remember, this is a time when I only had one computer and it was on a dialup connection. Stupid networking flaws made me migrate to XP and has kept me from going to anything else since then. Welcome to the development lab...Where the OS you're working on is being compiled on an OS that should retire. When I go to a new OS, it's not because of the features in it, but the crap that it can keep out. I never had any good days on Windows 95. The only thing good about it was that MSN Chat was free and spyware wasn't such a huge problem. I look at the real problems at hand on a zero network system and there are none. The introduction to the Internet is the only problem. The Blaster virus was in 2003. I gotten that virus before just by forgetting to install a firewall. That a****** crashed RPC.

B.S. ! You're really testing me when you said "Windows 1.0".

Infact, the strange thing is, if I shut down and plug in a hard disk drive, after I turn my PC on again, it wants me to reboot again! That's with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Windows 98 SE don't have the above issue. Once Windows 98 SE detects the hard disk drive, it's ready to go!

That's strange! Because Windows normally lets you delete a folder with files in it!

I agree, because Windows 98 SE launched games fast. Windows XP is somewhat bloated and even Windows 2000 likes to go virtual memory happy when loading some of my games.
