With regard to computers, I think Murphy's Law prevails.

So what ethnic dishes have you tried from over here MSNwar?

Here in my part of the world people eat Pig brains, internal organs, pig blood mixed in stew (I know everybody's throwing up now!) but you wont see them at KFC or McDonald's!

Nice review Rev!

By upgrading do you mean installing XP over an old OS? If this is what you did, you'll run into more problems later on. Always do a reformat and clean install when changing to a new Operating System.

If you're decided on a Pentium 4 this is what I have: Intel Pentium 4 1.7ghz Socket 478 Intel Desktop D850MDL micro ATX Motherboard 256MB PC800 RDRAM Memory Pentium 4's work best with RDRAM. If you choose DDRAM or SDRAM you will take a performance hit. You can also check out BAH's screaming set up here, althought the site was unavailable earlier. He's got a Pentium 4 setup with all the bells and whistles. http://bah.myftp.org/

Infinity was sort of like a sister-forum of NXSecure.

If you're using Windows XP I don't think it's possible to stick IE 5.5 back in. You would have older system files in there and windows would naturally reject those.

Well thank you warezmine! I used to own HP stuff before that's why I know my way around their site.

Rambus is the ultimate way to go, Northwood or no Northwood. Since you already got the stuff for free, spend a bit and be part of the "upscale" users who go for ultimate performance rather than price, right BAH? According to Tom's Hardware Guide

Not that I know of, unless you want to remove messenger completely.

Just found out that Infinity Extreme Forum just went down due to warez content.

Name it and it's probably available on E-Donkey. MP3's, Video's, programs, Windows, cracks, etc. etc.

Dude, here's the download link, and it says Windows 2000. http://www.hp.com/cposupport/scanners/soft...j452en.exe.html You're just probably looking at the software that came with your scanner, the newer software is available for download at HP's site.

Like I said in my post I think that the better solution is to clean install then use the Windows 2000 software of HP for your scanner, then install the patches for XP.

http://www.hp.com/cposupport/scanners/soft...j654mu.exe.html If the full HP PrecisionScan software for your HP ScanJet scanner is not yet available, HP suggests using the Windows XP - WIA software driver that is built into your PC, until the HP PrecisionScan software for Windows XP is available for downloading or ordering from this web site. Customers that have products that are not supported with the built-in WIA driver on the Windows XP operating system, or would prefer the full featured HP Software solution for Windows XP, may follow the steps listed here: 1.Disconnect the scanner from the PC if it is connected. 2.Download and install the latest version of the HP Scanning 3.Software for the scanner for Windows 2000 Pro. 4.Download and install the HP ScanJet scanner update for Windows XP from here 5.Reconnect the scanner to the PC and let it plug and play. My suggestion is to do a clean install with Windows XP, then do the 2nd suggestion of HP which is to install the Windows 2000 software first then getting the XP patch after. Why? Upgrading from Windows 98 carries over a lot of useless junk and wrong settings that will mess up Windows XP.

Blackwar's site is on his sig. just look for his posts.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Just wait until the printing gets finished. Why change OS for just a few minutes wait?

That doesn't happen to me when I'm printing, I can surf, open other programs, etc. What brand of printer are you using?

Free? Good luck!
