Really.




Hmmmmm. Does anyone else find it odd that Microsoft would release an egarly awaited service pack to a thrid party site before its own?

I am planning to buy more RAM, but I prefer to buy as much as I can at once, on the same stick, because I only have a couple of slots left. But thanks for the tips. :)

a terrible 256MB ram and now 3GB swap.

But before you all gut me for having a huge and probably mostly empty swap (;)), I've decided that a format and reinstall is probably the best solution...

Actually, it does seem to have made a significant improvement - before when I played Rise of Nations over the net, it was very jittery, subject to constant freezes of varying length, most eventually...

done all of them. No effect. And I need that second harddrive for when i want to test MS Longhorn.

I currently have two Hard discs on the same IDE channel thingy. One's 120GB, which I use for my current OS. On the Slave, I have a 40GB harddisc, which i don't really use at all.

It seems logical...

Also, if you share your computer amongst multiple users, you can restrict access to certain files and folders to yourself only, for example.

Make sure that the "Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor" option is checked for both monitors.

Oh, I see what you mean. You need to disable autocomplete. Are you on internet explorer?

Well, if you're trying to setup Active Directory, Windows will be required. Server 2003 comes with some wizards to help you implement what you need, I can't speak for 2000.

Probably trying to generate a preview of eevry item in the folder.

Excellent.

Doesn't that just crash the Remote Procedure Call Service, which triggers an automated shutdown because no other systerm service can run without it? Not a freeze.

Here's another copy of Notepad. You probably should scan it for viruses in case i'm sercretly planning your computer's annilation. :rolleyes:

Thank's to Dani for making my life difficult, I've...

It's a remnant from when System Administrators used the feature to send messages around the network, eg: "Everyone log off cause i'm closing down the server" or "No-one leaves until someone tells me...

Yes, it's perfectly normal.

My freind has Windows XP from packcard bell. He has loads of documents and music. He (and his family) have used 4.32GB

It will popup if there's an error. Is that it?

I suggest you upgrade your drivers... :P

Have you got the latest DirectX 9 thingies? It'll install generic ones if it has too.

Wait a moment there!

You press Ctrl + Alt + Del, click Lock (or just press the Windows Key and L) and then it's locked.

You'll see in this stage, you can do absolutely nothing except enter your...

That's because it will get rid of all the crap AOL dumps in the registry and in just about every system folder on the disk to prevent you from escaping their clutches.

Details of that free repartitioning program I told you about earlier. If the disk contains unpartitioned space, it should allow you to resize the partition without...

Partition Magic (probably) won't loose all your data. fdisk will and is far more complex.

i found a free one that works with XP. U need to use it off a boot disk and it's pretty complicated though.

I'm from the UK. and Eurotrash is a great TV programme ;)

[ Post deleted that was above here ]

Erm, I hasten to point out that the RPC service doesn't appear to be failing here. Otherwise the computer would reboot, not just slow down.

Perhaps feigned is simply responding to your posts. Oh and by the way, while I'm not exactly the biggest fan of America, I prefer to judge people by their personality, not their nationality. I'm sure...

By the looks of it your CPU has a very fast pulse rate.

jk ;)

Whatever this process is, it must be doing something big every couple of seconds. Are...

Under Big B rule:


All Microsoft Products are banned because they have bugs in them. Linux/Mozilla is completely flawless and works in every scenario.
Anyone who uses MS will be gassed.

IE 6 works fine under my mum and sis (both Limited).

Have you got all the service packs?

Are you sure you ran the repair utility correctly? When it deletes all the windows system files, copys clean ones back, reboots and sits there for about 45 mins reconfiguring the system?
...

Windows Messenger comes with Windows. You should already have it somewhere in your start menu, but i haven't used '98 in such a long time I don't remember.

Does Windows Messenger work ok? Do you have any kind of firewall or similar software/device installed?

Get a firewall. :P

You could format and start again - works for me :D

Or u can press F8 as Windows is about to start and it'll popup :D

Well, 'Mr Gates'...

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 *loses last scrap of sanity*

DIE AMERICAN ENGLISH!

Besides, everyone should learn 'English' English (See Austin Powers 3: GoldMember) ;) :P

And...

You don't need to put spaces before punctatio, for example, you would say "Hello, I am here!" instead of "Hello , I am here !"
