I recently upgraded my pc from a P4 with h/t to a pentium 840ee. I am running windows xp sp2. Now I am experiencing a degrade in system performance. Hardware manager is showing the acpi multi-processor and system resources shows the four threads. I didnt reinstall windows when I did the upgrade. Could this be my problem? Is there anyway to fix this without reinstalling windows? Thank you in advance.

I hope that someone can help me with this, When I go to logon to WinXP everything is fine - I have the user logon box and when I put my name and password in it will act normal for about 30 seconds - then it says " logging out of Windows " and go back to the logon screen... Any Ideas? Thank you Steve

I recently installed a new nVidia GeForce 7600GS 512MB graphics card and man does it rock! However, one of my absolute favorite older games; Crimson Skies, does not seem to be compatible with it. The only way it will run properly is in "software render" mode on the configuration page inside the game(640X480 resolution is positively unacceptable). When I try to use "primary display driver" I get multi-colored bars in all of the choices of the preferences page and the actual gameplay video is completely screwed up. Is there ANY way to rectify this situation?

Hi, Can anyone tell me how I can setup email notification when a backup job completes using the Windows Backup Utility? I cant find a VBScript for this anywhere. Thank you!

Sorry as I was given this info before but cant remember how. Where or how do I get the log that shows when the pc was last used. thanks

I was having trouble with Windows Installer popping up all the time ... and following advice found in one of these discussion groups, I made some type of change to WI to prevent it from doing so anymore. But now I can't install the new Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2007 - when I try, I get a message that says "M.O. Pro Plus 2007 encountered an error during setup." And it gives me a "close" button to push, and that's it! And then this morning I tried to install some Java Updates, and got a message that said "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation. Windows Installer." Please help!

I have an old laptop with limited disk. Microsoft persuaded me to upgrade to Service Pack 2, but the process aborted with the message that there wasn't enough disk. (Started with 700 MG free, but that's not enough, apparently.) Here's the problem. I now have 150 MG less free space, and that appears to be due to growth in: C:/Windows/$hf_mig$/ I've looked around for information about this folder, but haven't gotten a clear answer. My understanding is that $hf_mig$ is for Service Pack 2 use. But I'm content to live, and take my chances, with the existing Service Pack 1. Can I remove all the folders inside $hf_mig$ ? That's the big question. H…

My Pc (windows XP Professional) was infected with virus which was successfully removed by Installing AVG antivirus (Trial version).But after cleaning whenever I have tried to open any Drive from my computer by double click, it gives an error message like "windows can't find 'copy.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.” But the same can be easily opened by right click over any drive and then by selecting open. Please advise.

Hi One of our pc's has the issue where it logs in after you type in the user name and password and then it logs out again. You don't even get to see the desktop. PC is not on a domain. How do i fix this?

Is there a way to get the Computers Near Me to appear in Windows Explorer the way it does in Windows 2000 in Windows XP. According to this site: http://www.vsubhash.com/writeups/winxptips.asp in the Logon section they suggest using the same method as shown here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257902/en-us But as you can see this is specific to Windows 2000 and it doesn't work in Windows XP. Any other ideas? Thanks. -- George Hester ________________________________

Hi there, Where can I download windows 2003 server trial version? Thanks, T

I've recently converted a physical windows 2003 box to a VM using VMware's ESX converter utility. So far, all is functioning the same on the Virtual server. The warning I experience is after I configure the IP address on the virtual NIC within the VM (matching that of the old physical server), a warning dialog box pops up stating that "There is another network card with the same address that is NO LONGER attached to the system.... there may be problems if both adapters become active." After clicking ok, all is functioning well and I have network connectivity. I would like to remove the old hardware NIC reference from the registry to avoid this message …

I was advised by a friend that if I uninstall XP Service Pack 2 then reinstall it, that could solve the problems I am having with validation. I told him that I cannot acces Microsoft Update, Windows Update (still, despite all the advice I have been given)and my PC did not come with a disk but he said that didn't matter. Now I am stuck with Internet explorer 6, service pack 1 and am unable to download SP2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's been a long time since I've done this and my memory grows foggy How do I feed a "y" response to a DOS command that wants to prompt me for a Y/N answer? How about if it prompts for two in a row? Thanks,
