Try a system restore

Cruzer should have some kind of partition application on their website for their flash drives.

Select the first option. It should then ask if you wish to try to recover a current installation. Don't choose the recovery "console", that's for lots of manual operations that you don't want to...

That might not work. Windows would see you're not the right user for which those files belong to. You won't have permission. Even sticking the harddrive into another machine you won't be able to...

I fail to see how that's a good thing? A virus I can kill for free. A new gfx card takes money.

I cannot get into XP at all, not even safe mode. It says the file is either missing or corrupt: c:\Windows\System32\something\System

Doesn't give me a specific file, just a folder.

I had that issue once, a long long time ago. In my case, it was a memory issue. I either didn't have enough, or had a bad stick, can't remember for sure.

Friend's Dell Dimension 4600 (piece of over-priced junk) what to sh*t and so now I'm trying to fix it. The recovery discs that Dell provides only work within Windows. (defeats the purpose if you ask...

The card is rather old and has not had updates in the Drivers for a few versions now. There really is no point in updating them for that card so rollback to the older version as suggested.

Got enough memory? Could also be a fragmented drive possibly.

which mp3 player is it?

I installed XP for a friend, legit copy of my own. However, I did not feel like going though the activation hassle so I used a registration crack. After upgrading to SP2, the crack no longer worked...

just a guess, but i think perhaps something has gotten integrated into the browser. You can check to see what's been installed into the browser by searching through the registry.

IE6 is just slow and likes taking its time. I stayed with IE5 for a long time because of this, but I was forced to upgrade to keep safe from security flaws.

Open "Computer Management", click on "Services and Applications" then "Services". Then disable messenger. Is that the same messenger we're talking about here? Or we talking msn messenger?

Sounds like you got a little bug in it. If all 20 pc's are the same, just ghost the harddrive from one of the other computers.

why would you want xp over 2000?

whenever I try to open a file straight from the net, i get this error. It can't access the temp folder or something.
And why it says content.IE5\ I don't know, since I have IE6.

I wasn't aware that it would show as another cpu though. Some games have small graphical glitches unless I set it for cpu0 only.

I just installed a 2.8 prescott chip, running windows 2k pro. Windows says I have a acpi multiprocessor system. And task manager shows 2 cpu usage boxes. Any ideas why?

Oh, sorry. On dual cpu systems running Window 2000, there's an affinity option in the task manager. If you right-click on a currently running process, there is "Set Affinity" right below "Set...

running dual athlons in win2kpro. Is there a way to set the affinity of a process automatically when it starts? So I don't have to manually do it every time?
A certain game has a bug with dual...

I think i'm taking my 9800pro back and buying nvidia. At least its compatible with everthing and works!

I changed the computer driver from uniprocessor to multiprocessor. However, system properties still only displays the name for 1 processor. Is it only suppose to show one? I did a render test with...

Sapphire is what most overclockers tend to use from what I've heard. I'm actually picking up a Sapphire 9800 pro today after I get out of class. Dual athlons, 1.5gb of ram, mmmmm. I'm gonna own on...

spy sweeper finds tons of stuff that ad-aware doesn't. Such as key loggers.

Isn't there a way to see how long a process has been running? Just do a little math with running time from explorer.
I think my best was 37 days, before the system locked up. It was a dual p133...

What would be the equivalent of msconfig in windows 2k? Somebody told me once, but I can't remember.

Boot up from the windows XP cd and try the recovery console. It can take a little time, but it should reinstall fresh copies of system files. Works well for when that blasted ntoskrnl.exe gets...
