    Win 7, possible to create Admin account only?

    Thanks for the tip rasczak. :) Part of it's based in that I'm a gamer, new user to Win7 and many games now basically ask you to disable UAC. A recent example would be The Witcher 2 and the most common next word in a Google Search for, 'Windows 7 disable' is UAC. It also could be the search for...

    Win 7, possible to create Admin account only?

    I've never tried this, nor can I find any info with googlefu, so not exactly sure how to ask it. Nor what kind of potential 'After/During Install' (if it works) I could/would run into. Hope this is at least clear enough to get the idea. I'm working on trying to create a Windows 7 install with...

    Baffling PC problem.

    Anyone ever heard of a Processor which fails only on the IDE channel? (Not even sure, I;m stating it correctly.) I've been struggling to help a friend who's trying to build a low to mid PC. There is a 4800+ AM2, ASUS M2N68-AM PLUS, Corsar 4 gig 8500 and GeForce 8800GTX. We have tried to...

    Program to recover lost data?

    Iirc, the partitions were deleted via WinXP installing, then they formatted with NTFS on the newly created partition. Once WinXP had installed all the initial files, (e.g. not booted into WinXP enviroment), the system rebooted for the first time. Crashing at the first WindXP screen as it tried...

    Program to recover lost data?

    Never had to recover data from hard disk, which had it's partitions deleted. It was also formatted in NTFS during WinXP install but never had any data beside the preboot install files. As I understand it, crashed on reboot and has never been written over. So basically I would like to help...

    WinXP doesn't recognise my video card, after drivers removed.

    I see it now, have been checking the .inf files in the XP_inf folders that come with all Catalyst drivers, it seems 9.3 was the last version to cover older cards. All the inf files from 9.4 to present contain HD version cards only. So until someone figures out how to hack the inf files, to...

    WinXP doesn't recognise my video card, after drivers removed.

    Not sure that will work, I think the uninstall program removed a ATI info file or something, so it won't recognize any ATI card, atm. I Uninstalled it via the Hardware Manager, then rebooted, I can't even pick to change the in the Driver window. Isn't there some System Info files, so windows can...

    Help building and installing XP with a answer file?

    Well Fragmentation is a concern of mine, you ask me why and I explained it, no big deal, don't see how that?s making a mountain. :smile: Hum, not sure what you mean about this sounding like Black Viper's recommendations, so I can't comment. Sure files change but that in itself doesn't...

    Help building and installing XP with a answer file?

    It's bad OS design because constantly fragmenting files are installed on the same drive partition as the OS, that is the reason you NEED to constantly defrag in the first place. You wouldn't need to constantly defrag you OS because it's not running optimumly for say the newest game that brings...

    Thanks for the NLite, I downloaded and read the "What is info", as long as it is not one of those Sharewares that has a great concept but when you half way through all of a sudden it says your out of uses and you need to send money. I don't mind donating but I don't want to be stuck, does it...

    Help building and installing XP with a answer file?

    I am not aware of any info suggesting Fragmentation is less due to Physical Hard drive Technoligy, but I am always willing to read up on it, if there is some at least possibley crediable info. Though just setting an occasional auto Defrag, is only a fix for more casual to moderate Program...
