    How would I go about creating a page I can go to, to insert some information using a form, into an existing XML document? Something that would work fine regardless of the browser is preferred, but not required.

    Computer lockups

    For the past few months I?ve been having problems with my computer freezing while playing 3D games or other video intensive applications. I?ve ruled out it being a software issue, I?ve had the same problem on Linux, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. I?ve tried various drivers for my video card...

    Vista from a Geek Squad tech's perspective...

    Been running Vista on my machine since the public release. My machine is about 2 years old with somewhat outdated hardware. It's been running great ever since. the only problem I've had with it so far is the lack of X-Fi drivers, but thats Creatives problem, not Microsofts.

    What is the descent size for boot drive partition Vista Home Premium?

    Vista requires atleast 15GB to install, 30GB might be pushing it if you have alot of games or other large programs you want to install. Were not in the 80's anymore, partitioning your drive is a smart thing to do, unless you like reinstalling and losing all your data when your OS shits the...

    Is it just me or does Vista seem to require a new computer?

    It's nothing crazy. By todays computer standards you really don't need a very good machine to run Vista.

    "My Documents" Folder - Can't Access after Vista Upgrade

    1. Possibly because they changed the layout of the Documents and Settings/Username, now it's just C:/Users/Username. Try browsing to it via windows explorer and see if it will let you in. 3. Right click on your desktop and set the icon size to classic.

    Is this just hype or for real
