Ram and mobo huh? Always been partial to Kingston and Crucial higher end ram but now I'm leaning towards Corsair. I'm running their dominator 1066mhz ram now and haven't had an issue overclocking. They make a nice cooling fan unit, cools 4 gigs just fine. As for motherboards, I'm looking for a highend gaming board right now, still havent decided. Really p***ed at gigabyte these days. I picked up their Quad N680-SLIDQ6 rev. 2 and was fighting drivers in XP for over a year, went to Vista Ultimate out of necessity and now my nforce drivers are finally working properly. Make sure you get some decent cooling for your system. Thermaltake and Asus have a nice high end cpu cooler, corsair for your ram, and get a box that allows additional 120mm fans.

Start cleaning out your folders. Search for attachments, save to disc. Start going through your sent items and delete unnecessary content. We have a couple of Outlook power users on our domain and they don't want to delete anything--everything is important, well we got a 1.9 gig pst down to 750 just by removing attachments and cleaning sent items folder.

I'd give creative a call. Make sure you're absolutely using the most recent correct driver installation for your audigy card. Also could be a windows issue as well. How's your OS working? Are you current on your updates? Also doesn't hurt to have your motherboard BIOS up to date as well. I've had a similar can't find product on install but it turned out I was using the wrong download.

I'd check your DNS server. Sometimes they get tempermental with new devices.

Try flashing your BIOS. Doesn't hurt having that up to date. Also if you have a different hard drive, I'd recommend trying that as well. Sometimes failing hard drives can really make XP installs a pain.

Is it USB or PS/2? Could be a few different things, does't hurt to have your system board BIOS up to date. Is there a flash available for it?

little more info would be nice. Is it only doing this on one wireless router/accesspoint? What kind of card is it? If this is only happening at one point, could be what you're trying to connect to? If this is a netgear adapter, well there's a few models that have had known problems with dropping connection.

Are you opening up Word the first time as an adminstrator? The only other time I've seen this is when Office was newly installed and never run. Then when a restricted user tries to open the app for the first time, installer hoses up.
