Dammit, I just bought a 7950 Gt Extreme

Hi and welcome to msfn My guess is that the drivers you downloaded are corrupt. Try downloading them again or possibly from a different source.

As I said before, all you need is ffdshow. Using a codec + codec pack = conflicts, sometimes movies playing upside down or not running at all.

Download and extract wmp11. Run in xp compatibility mode the setup. Done

What exactly do you mean by "tampering"?

Thanks!

Came across the very same problem with the very same graphics card. turned out `twas dead...

ripken, i had a problem when i installed directx october. need for speed carbon didn't run anymore but it was on xp sp2 x86...

Right-click on taskbar ---> properties ---> start menu ---> customize ---> advanced, remove the tick on the box reading "Highlight newly installed programs"

As prx984 suggested, go for xp nlited. Although you have a 64-bit architecture, very few games take advantage of it. For info on how to nlite your xp copy, see this post: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=28005

All you need is this.

I thought Windows XP Home Edition went to c:\Windows and Windows XP Professional went to C:\Winnt by default. Setting up Windows XP Professional (if I remember right..... I will be giving it a test either today or tomorrow) I didn't think that you could tell it which directory to go to. All versions of Windows XP install in C:\Windows. Windows NT and Windows 2000 install in C:\Winnt.

Hello & welcome

english please?

ermmmm..... here goes: first off i'd kindly ask Martin L to change the username (not quite appropriate for a tech forum ) second off regarding your error message: check the event viewer to see what happens (start ---> all programs ---> administrative tools ---> event viewer) third off regarding the fast user changing: you can't do it in w2k3 r2. As for the password prompt: right click on desktop ---> properties ---> screensaver ---> remove the tick in the box reading "prompt for password when computer resumes from standby" (or alike) fourth off: i'm really buffled why people don't understand that server OS's are meant for servers, not "high end media workstation" fifth off: you need to tell us the configuration of your network, how many pc's are linked, whether you have AD implemented or not, and what you expect from your LAN. regards, nitro

I still want the 108" LCD...

Windows XP installs itself automatically in C:\Windows.

More means better

This removes norton entirely.

This was discussed here before. Have you tried to search the forums?
