thanks bonestonne, i tried another psu for the gpu only and the problem was the same. Balls to it, iv put my trusty old radeon back and its perfect. thanks for the help everyone

i am using VLC and i have tried that but it doesnt make any difference . im gonna try using 2 psus, one for the graphics card only. But il have to test this later, unless anyone else has any ideas? thanks

hi, i just obtained it cos a friend replaced his so i didnt read any reviews, i have all the drives cos my pc is the central location for data around the house, everyone is always watching something from it lol thanks for the reply though

Hi, iv just taken out my old radeon 9600 from pc and replaced with a PNY verto 6600GT 128mb, it requires its own molex connector. My setup is as follows: Hiper Typer R 580W PSU powering the following... P4 630 3.0GHZ 2GB Ram The geforce in question 2x40gb in raid 0 (c: drive) 2x400gb in raid 1 2x400gb in raid 1 2x500gb in raid 1 1x250gb on its own DVDrw drive 2 TFT Monitors a couple of fans The problem: iv installed the latest dirvers but when playing a movie on one screen and browsing the net on the other the movie will drop frames, and nothing seems as smooth as my good old radeon 9600, is it possible this could be caused by the GPU not getting enough power? Thanks for any input P.s everything was fine before i introduced the new card, iv been running on this setup for months with no probs

Whats up with locking it down?, at least dont allow access to control panel, installation of drivers, just little things like. And i second what stoic joker said, document everything!

some tips for you... 1) lock down workstations through group policy 2) lock down access to files through ntfs permissions 3) ensure some sort of redunandcy (with multiple DC's, DNS and DHCP servers) 4) immunize and protect all the pcs from spyware and viruses 5) filter the internet connection using a firewall with content filtering 6) ensure backups are good, either through verification or manual testing once a week <- i cannot stress how important this is, either a user will loose a file and you will have to get it back or worse a server will die and you will have to restore the whole thing from scratch thats all i can think of from the top of my head, having just this minute got up. But seriously your one lucky guy to be landing a job like that with little experience, just use books, technet, google and this forum to learn as much as possible. good luck

what operating systems are they running?

Same here, as you say Marthax, great program

Hi if you have ADSL make sure you have filters on all your phones in the house. also check how long the line is from the wall to the router (cannot be more than 10 meters or you will experience problems). Lastly phone your isp and ask them to perform a line test as you are experiencing loss of service, they should check the quality of the line for you and repair it if neccessary hope this helps

what anbout a terminal server you can all RDP to? then you can read the database even over the slowest link

use locksmith on Nortons ERD commander. That works everytime

Hi, unfortunatly once you replace that motherboard your OEM XP will no longer be legal on your new motherboard.

cant you just format the 160gb and mount it in an NTFS folder on your 80GB drive?

ok no problem, welcome to the forums by the way

hmm, how is the computer connected wireless or wired? as compared with the working pc. Also is there anything in your event logs?

how are the network settings on this pc configured? specifically dns. is the xp you are using n-lited? how is general network browsing, do packets get dropped if you set off a ping to a host? let us know thanks

can you ping both ways? if not is there a firewall anywhere that you can disable? once you have ruled out those things then you can start to look at the local machines and their configs to find the problem thanks

hi you need to make sure both the server and xp pc have an internal address, either class A B or C. if you dont know what these are i suggest you find out, otherwise you are trying to run before you can walk. no offence meant just it would benefit you greatly to at least know this first

you should set the preferred dns server as 127.0.0.1 or the internal address (192.168.x.x) then setup a dhcp scope and check the scope options, if the dhcp shows as the address of your server then when your client picks up an address it will get that dns server and be able to resolve the domain name, with no dns server it wont lol

actually i believe extended support for XP is 2014, i cant remember where i read this but i was quite shocked as i thought it was 2009 too

Cool! il help test

you mean an active hyperlink within sysdm.cpl?

the kernel of MCE and XP Pro are identical. therefore anyone claiming that one is better than the other is full of s***e, jcarle is correct in what he is saying

ok just to clarify.,.. you have a .gho ghost file? and you wish to restore this to your pc but your disc is knackered? let us know

dammit, Cluberti beat me to this one, just follow his steps that what i did when i did this, there are also some very good articles from MS on this. Also you didnt mention if these are just standard 200 and standard 2003? i assume they are. If so everything should go fine good luck
