I use download.com and softpedia.com
I'd list other sites but they may not be allowed on here.

Until M$ changes the EULA in Vista, there's no way I'm dropping any amount on that OS.
Specifically I'm talking about the rule that says that we are only allowed to reinstall the OS once. The problem is that if they define what constitutes a "new PC" to strictly, I may have just spent too much money on a pretty graphics OS.
I'd LOVE to have DX10, but I'm not payin $400 for it.

This guy is a really good pianist. Check out his website: http://nerdpunk.com
Take a look at the vids page and scroll down to where Dana Vinson is singing the popular Space Camp song in her own way, sounds even better.

yeah the good old days of net send, the admin still hasent dissabled it yet...
any way i found out that each grade have different groups...
yr 8: s*** all access the anything on the network. or internet
yr 9 : have little access to the network. or internet
yr 10: have an extra 50 mbs of storage plus less sites are blocked.
yr 11: have acees to almost all network files except admin and teacher files.
yr 12: they have the closest thing to a normal user account
so if there was anyway to change my account type through the main server, please tell me.
Well, legally I'm not allowed to have any connection with that stuff anymore

The fastest way to an admin's heart is to do some of his or her repetitive or dirty work for them..
Actually, one other good way is to try and be clever, but ignorant at the same time. This one trick sinched it for me.
When I was in HS I was working at the library as a class. It was a light day, as it was everyday, so I decided to look up some pranking on PCs. I've already learned the basics, so when I came across the net send command, I was excited at what I could do with it in a LAN enviroment. Well, being typical, I got on a PC and entered net send * THE LIBRARY MAN IS WATCHING YOU. I put that because our librarian had a program to spy on the PC's at the library, and remotely control them. I sent it out, and to my surprise, it went out to EVERY SINGLE PC in the network, with the exception of the main office's PC's because they where on a different network. The router stopped the flood, just not within that LAN. It was awesome, I fessed up, and the admin just laughed. It was there that the relationship opened up, he lessened my restrictions.

First things first, he didn't "hack" anything. All he had to do was point and click.
Now, like the others have posted, password the admin account, don't add a hint, just use some random alphanumeric key, like a combination of your social security number and your last name. Something that's easy to remember but that he would never guess.
Adding his account to the limited users section wont do anything really, besides limiting what he can configure on the PC.
Do what I do and limit his access to the folders.
First we create an account for your bro, since he doesn't have one.
While logged in as admin, or your account, right click My Computer and click Manage->expand the Local Users and Groups list->without selecting any of the names in the box, right click in there and select New User->Enter a name and leave the password blank, if you want->Hit OK->double click the newly created account and go into the Member Of tab->Delete the group that's in there (IIRC it should be Power Users, if it's users just leave it there) and click the Add button->in the text box, type Users and click the check button. It should add something like "PC_NAME\USER_NAME".
Now we get rid of the simple file sharing by doing this:
Go into My Computer->select Tools in the toolbar->Folder Options->click the View tab->scroll to the bottom and uncheck the selection which says "Use Simple File Sharing"
Now we do the hard work. I'm going to assume that your programs are all in C:\Program Files. Change the directory as needed:
Go into C:\Program Files->Right click the folder which contains the program you want to block->Goto Tools->Folder Options->Click the Security tab->Click the Add button->add your brother's account. Do this for every folder, main folder where the program is, that you want to block him from.
NOTE:DO NOT ADD THE USER GROUP, ADD ONLY THE SPECIFIC ACCOUNT. In this setting there's no need to block the whole group, just the specific account.
If needed, I'll post up screenshots for the steps.

Download a memory manager like freeramXP.
Windows XP manages memory just fine. Those "memory defragments" are absolute trash. Anyone recommending them needs to learn a thing or two. No offense intended.
None taken. I would like to know your reason for thinking this way though, I guess I'm just used to using these programs since win2k, when ram that was used then wasn't showed up as used.

Sorry man, still working for me. Are you selecting where you want to download the files? Or are you just saving to the default location? It's also possible that you are running low on space.

Why don't you read nitroshift's post and get back to us.

Well, you have 768MB of ram, what games are you running? Download a memory manager like freeramXP.

Are you sharing the folders? Also, you could go into command prompt and enter: \\PC_NAME_HERE\c$
You could change the C to whatever drive you want to access. Just enter the admin user and pass when prompted.

Yep, go for a sataII version.

You could always hack the server and give yourself access. All you need to know is the integral system that is Active Directory, and Windows Server. Good luck!
And if found out have your accoutn locked, suspended from college, total access restictions...many different concequences of trying to be clever.

not something i would recommend. i did that and am lucky not to have a criminal record
Well that's just cause you don't know how to cover your tracks.
But I was being sarcastic though.

So you've tried known working devices and they don't work? It may be that your USB ports are fried. Have you tried to plug in these devices while in safe mode? One at a time? Also, are you pluging them directly into the back USB ports? Or on the front? If it's in the front, check the cables that go from the mobo to the front I/O panel. If it still doesn't work than it looks like you'll need to get a new mobo, unless another member has a better suggestion.

Do you have other USB devices to test out? Did you install any new hardware/software at the time this failure started occuring? How are the devices connected, i.e. are they each on their own USB port or are they on a USB hub?

Well, doing a quick google search brought me these instructions:
Start with a Windows 2000/XP system with empty CD drives.1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel from the Start Menu.
2. Double-click on the System control panel icon.
3. Select the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager button.
4. Configure Device Manager by clicking "Show hidden devices" and "Devices by connection," both from the View menu.
5. Insert the Anthony Hamilton CD into the computer and allow the SunnComm software to start. If MediaMax has never been started before on the same computer, the SbcpHid driver should appear on the list for the first time. However, on some systems Windows needs to be rebooted before the driver becomes visible.
At this point you can attempt to copy tracks from the CD with applications like MusicMatch Jukebox or Windows Media Player. Copies made while the driver is active will sound badly garbled, as in this 9-second clip [10].
Next, follow these additional steps to disable MediaMax:
1. Select the SbcpHid driver from the Device Manager list and click "Properties" from the Action Menu.
2. Click the Driver tab and click the Stop button to disable the driver.
3. Set the Startup Type to "Disabled" using the dropdown list.
With the driver stopped, you can verify that the same applications copy every track successfully. Setting the Startup Type to disabled prevents MediaMax from restarting when the computer is rebooted. It will remain deactivated until LaunchCD.exe is allowed to run again.
Equivalently, executing the following commands from the Command Prompt will deactivate MediaMax:
net stop sbcphid
del %systemroot%\system32\drivers\sbcphid.sys
I don't know if it's permanent though. Here's the page's link: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~jhalderm/cd3/
BTW, I'm pretty sure the protection your cd's have is MediaMax.

CptMurphy I had that removed I don't see Control Panel in the My Computer Folder, but in the Folders bar in Windows Explorer I can see it. Under Desktop\My Computer, and Start Menu\My Computer, becouse I use that expanded.
Thanks anyway
I'm 98% positive you can't take that off unless you edit your registry.

I don't know if IE7 is out for win98 but it may help you to look into it.
IE7 is out only for XP, 2K3, and of course Vista. 2K and lower clients will not get an IE7 package.
Righto, thanks for the reference.

There's no way to repair the HDD yourself. From the sounds of it, it seems like your HDD is about to kick the bucket. Better backup all your docs and look for a new HDD.
