 | Any XP CD should be ok, if you bought a pre-built PC such as a Toshiba or HP it will usually have a product key/COA on the bottom which would mean you can basically use any XP cd since you have a valid Windows license and it's really the license … |
| | [QUOTE=PhatFat]it used to work fine [/QUOTE] ...how long ago? Have you tried using system restore to go back to the last time it worked? I can't find anything on that "Movieencoder.dll" file. You might want to look at the properties for that file and see if it tells you what …  |
| | What's changed? Is there any new devices attached? New software? Did you alter file permissions on the C: drive?

| | Re: Installing time? Vista is one bloated goat...it takes [I]forever[/I] for just about anything. Throw RAM at it and the latest greatest hardware...you will be rewarded. Seems to really want a full GB of memory to really get the high performance experience...XP w/SP2 wanted 512MB RAM over 256MB (more like 384MB 256+128 at … |
| | For now leave the sound card out - no need to complicate things more with something not necessary to run the system. Personally when I'm troubleshooting hardware I take everything off except a hard drive, RAM chip and video card...you might want to do this too and also don't drive … |
| | Re: JPG into JPE Yeah...you want explorer to show you the file extensions. I don't know why .jpg files would be saved as .jpe or any quick way to fix it but if you show extensions you should be able to specify the actual extension you desire, in this case .jpg instead of .jpe. …  |

| | Re: Random Freezing I don't see anywhere that you've said you've tried updating the BIOS. Have you? I think you're right on the money about the possibility of the fan causing an issue even though you're well below the heat thresholds for that chip @51C...the fan not firing off could cause weird behaviors …  |
 | That's interesting - is there a bluescreen that flashes briefly befoer the reboot? If so it could be as simple as updating a driver. Have you checked for a driver update for the card from the vendor? Does the user have plenty of RAM? Try [B]Start-->Run [/B]and type [B]%tmp% [/B]and … |
| | Sounds like there might be encryption on her user account?

 | This could be caused by a host of things...hardware usually. Last week a person on here was getting it due to a poorly seated video card, or broken video card...something to that effect. I have also seen memory chips cause problems. What you do is take EVERYTHING off the system … |

| | I highly doubt Microsoft says "delete the folder you don't want". Just follow their instructions...they have no reason to screw you. You are probably using the "c:\Windows1" folder now because it sounds like the previous (broken) install resided in "c:\Windows" as that is normally the default location for the Windows …  |
| | If it's a Linksys I've found that the sweetspot, other than the default channel 6, is channel 5. Other routers in the proximity of your router set on the same channel will definitely cause signal interference, loss of connectivity and packet loss. |

| | Good advice Chris, I've also seen various Linksys devices choke on certain applications. I remember one specifically where my router would barf and choke every time I tried to use Windows Messenger...a firmware update for the Linksys fixed that problem. |

| | Sounds like the wireless. A "flapping" cable modem most likely would not be fixed by unplugging the wireless router although if timed right I suppose it might [i]seem [/i]like it does. Either way a good cable provider can log into the headend and tell you whether cable modem has been …  |
