  1. The file version indicates it's for Windows 2000.
  2. More likely a corrupted Windows XP. That's what can occur with power problems when a defrag is going.
  3. May be a faulty motherboard. Reminds me of when a Dell Inspiron 530S BIOS suddenly refuses to boot with RAM in the normal dual channel config and gives 4 bleeps-pause-4 bleeps. (or just does nothing but run the CPU fan fast) (Dual channel used to work on the above motherboard before late August, 2011.)
  4. KB2511455 update always fails on the first time, with 80080005! Why does it always go like nothing happened when I tell Windows Update to install it again after reboot? And I also got a search result saying bull about missing files or malware. ( I just wiped, repartitioned and reformatted the HDD!) I mostly get responses in searches about it being a COM problem and pages that seem to apply for XP.
  5. I was experimenting for basically a non-RAID version of bigger chunk sizes, because a lot a files are 16+ KB, even for the boot. So, I tried 8 KB, just to see if earlier CPUs would have less utilization.
  6. I was starting to suspect that even 4 KB clusters was causing high CPU usage. (Or slowing down file access for 8 KB and bigger files.) And I thought only Win 2000 would have a problem with this lol. So you're saying that SP3 broke it and made it a downgrade from SP0! (I'm also looking at you, NTDETECT.COM!)
  7. OK, I dunno why, but if I boot into a Windows PE environment and create a partition for Windows XP, because I wanted to try a cluster size bigger than 4 KB with NTFS, make it active with Disk Management and then reboot with the XP install CD. The text mode setup goes through without a single error, but, when text mode setup is done and I reboot, instead of the XP logo, this error message appears instead: A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart This was even when I used an XP environment and the HDD isn't failing.
  8. QFT. Epic fail when I tried it before, the updating silently fails, when I come back to the web site, it just prompts me to install the same updates again!
  9. Could this be something that flares up only after doing a large download? It doesn't seem to ever happen at other, normal times. --JorgeA It can occur randomly. And symptoms to look for with Internet Explorer, is random and frequent "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" errors.
  10. Some modems in the config page will allow a manual refresh of DHCP info.
  11. You should not need any drivers for this on XP. Maybe the CD that comes with it is for Win9x (but I don't know). I have always just plugged them in and then wait a bit for the computer's USB detection to finish completely. On the Sansa, look in the menu (with Sansa unplugged from the computer) under Settings > USB Mode. There should be at least three of them in the list: MTP, MSC, Auto. Try each of them. What probably happened is that the computer configured the USB device from one setting and then the setting changed (under Auto this can happen). I forget which is which with MTP and MSC, but one represents the Sansa as a mass storage device (the mp3 files are seen in Windows like any filelist) and the other presents it as a music device and the files are invisible. NOTE: If you change the Sansa firmware and bootloader using a 3rd party custom (very popular on these) and then change back to the original, then these quirky USB problems might be explained. I still have one that I have yet to be able to restore to original config. Never should have installed that Rockbox. That's even when I didn't change the firmware lol. Got this one on April 30, 2010 at BestBuy. And the above was with MSC. (The USB mass storage device mode) And Device Manager complains about there not even being a driver, when in MTP mode. "Auto" makes Windows act up.
  12. I dunno, but it looks like to me that you don't even have a valid IP address (DHCP issue) or ARP table problem or Windows failed to detect the ethernet controller on your PC. I had an issue where my router randomly failed to get an IP address and/or get ARP data and doing a manual DHCP refresh in the router configuration panel would fix it. But, if you get internet and posting from that PC, then it's more likely a firewall issue.
  13. These links are bad: 02. http://www.xptheme.info 03. http://www.deskmod.com 04. http://www.winxptheme.com/ 05. http://www.windowspro.net/ 07. http://winxp.rb-338.com/ 09. http://www.aqua-soft.org/ 10. http://www.getskinned.org <-Looks like this domain just got parked in November!
  14. If you insist on having anti-virus constantly running, I would try Avast.
  15. I have been wondering what does "stage 1", "stage 2" and "stage 3" do? (When Vista applies updates) (On the green screen background, where it says "Configuring updates")
  16. At least with SP3! I just found out on the 8th that disabling the "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" service causes the DHCP Client service to get killed! When running on Virtual PC 2004 SP1, I could confirm this with an event log error from Service Control Manager, about depending on the "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" service! Shame on Microsoft!
  17. Actually, I never had this problem with Vista and later. And I don't have the "+" version.
  18. The last time I had 56K, was spring, 2007! 43kbps=5.3 KB/s and 44 kbps=5.5 KB/s was typical here in Vermont during my final year of 56K, so my modem and telephone line was healthy! Hooray! Back in 2005 and 2006, the largest file, was probably a Linux ISO! Probably Ubuntu "Hoary", that was probably in summer, 2005! Then on May 17, 2007, I got ADSL that easily did 3.2 Mbps. Today, with the same ADSL ISP, in Springfield, I'm at 12 Mbps! I was lucky to get 5 Mbps in Cavendish. I moved to Springfield on March 5, 2008.
  19. Sounds more like I expect of a 286 with 640 KB of RAM! O_O
  20. Not so true anymore! That was definitely true back in the Opera 8 days, because Opera 8 (possibly 9, too) was a piece of crap! Most web sites work fine with Opera, if you're not using 8x. (or before 10x) Opera 10.62 and 11x rocks!
  21. The most likely cause is security software!
  22. Sooooo true with files in general! The file accesses can go fine at one moment, then when ready to retrieve the data from a floppy disk at another PC, a whammy, a disk error!
  23. And XP also shows a drive "F:" and when clicked, Windows always displays "Please insert a disk into drive F:" (or similar) SanDisk says XP don't require drivers for it. I get 2 drives listed in Windows Explorer for my SanDisk Sanza Fuze, one drive looks normal, except my music files aren't there at all and the other one, shows up as a removable drive with nothing inserted! I have the feeling it will work OK when used with Vista and later! Even when SanDisk says that XP is OK!
