  • reinstall xp for gaming

  • Question: I want to reinstall XP so my son can use the computer just for gaming. We want to hook it up to a TV. The disk is XP SP2 and we've updated to SP3. I assume we will need to do the SP2 then go to Microsoft and get the SP3 pack. Do we need to do anything else like reinstall drivers or similar?

  • possible hacker?

  • Question: Í'm just wondering if it is possible for someone to "steal/see" my cookies? I have a suspicsion on someone who is tracing my cookies/outlook express but when I do a virus scan nothing shows up. Is it possible that this person can take over my administrator rights and use my name so no traces are left? I really think this person is using my administrator and blocking his traces.

  • Is my video card shot, or is it something else?

  • Question: Hello, my name is Sam, I have a custom made computer that is running 64-bit Vista on it, and for the past week or so, I've been getting this error. My screen will turn off, then on again, and it says this "atikmdag has stopped working and has successfully recovered". It only started out by just doing that, but as time went on, it got worse and worse, sometimes the monitor would turn off and not even turn back on again without me having to reboot my computer entirely. By now it's gotten so bad that my screen is full of flickery lines and colored things, like, static or something. I had somebody come in and look at it, and he tried uninstalling and then reinstalling my video card + drivers, but nothing worked. I've tried dozens of other things, but so far I can only run my computer with its basic video drivers. I can't even enable my Radeon x1550 display adapter in device manager in the control panel at all without it instantly BSODing, or freezing. I'm about at the end of my rope with this, and the only 2 options my family and friends have been able to come up with is either to get a new video card, or a whole new computer altogether. My Specs: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.51 ghz 3 gigs of RAM

  • Electrical "poping" @ turn on

  • Question: I'm running a Dell 2400 computer, with XP Professional. I have an Altec Lansing bass booster tied into an ILive system for my sound. Everything is routed into a five channel distribution box with a master switch. That unit plugs into a surge protector and then to a UPS box. Anytime something is turned on elsewhere in the house such as the air conditionining or washing machine, I get a "pop" over the speakers. Can anyone give me a solution. I have an ultra-slim flourescent light stand on the same circuit right over my computer which has always made a "pop" when started, but now everything else makes a sound as well. Any solutions? Since I don't visit this forum daily, you can reply to my e-mail @ cliffshell@hotmail.com

  • Is it possible to recover a low level format that was interrupted

  • Question: Hi I made a stupid mistake and started low level formatting an external (USB) hard drive using windows 7 starter thinking it was a small partition on the laptop drive (I couldn't see the contents of the drive on windows 7!!). A few minutes into this process I realised I was formatting my external hard drive and pulled the USB plug. I plugged the external drive back into my old computer which uses vista and obviously I can't read this drive properly now (presumably because the partition is screwed up). I have heard that the low level format process should take a while (and I was trying to format a 1000GB hard drive) so is there any way I can rebuild and recover some of the data on this drive? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
