Yes, I did install the drivers. Perhaps it's the basic keyboard driver in system32 that's been corrupted? Is that possible? If it is, can it be replaced?

Already been done: "This has not occurred with me before, and I've checked all accessibility options and made sure they were turned off. I even uninstalled the accessibility options in order to make sure nothing was messed up. "

I've had to reinstall Windows on a new HDD after my old one developed bad sectors due to an electricity blackout, and all was going fine until I installed some games (namely, DiRT, GP4, Guild Wars, and Virtua Tennis 3). They launched fine, but once you're in the game, in order to press a...

Another observation: Leaving the PC on the startup screen for about a minute would lead to explorer starting up properly. Any help?

Oh, I just tried optimizing my system with bootvis (which didn't help). I've noticed that the graph hangs after the nVidia Network Access Manager loads, and then there's a 20 sec pause after initialization of each windows process (wmiprvse.exe, wuauclt.exe, wscntfy.exe, rundll32.exe) and then...

Sadly, that didn't help. I've also noticed something else: When logging on, Windows now always displays "Applying your personal settings" instead of "Loading your personal settings" even though no settings have been changed.

Yesterday, after removing some of my installed applications, I noticed some changes to my computer. First of all, when loading Windows XP, it would ALWAYS perform a check on my second hard disk, no matter if the computer is properly shut down or not. The other (more serious) problem is that it...

Well yes, it is normal. The capacity quoted by the manufacturer is the unformatte capacity. I think about 5% of the space will be removed once formatted.

Most reviews dubbed the VX724/924 as being bad in the color area. I wonder what those 2ms screens will be like?

I've bought a mobo combo from Monarch. Paid 7-day shipping, should have taken 3 days to test too. It was shipped the next day with 2-day Fedex shipping. That's what I call service. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the tips. I've oreder the TP-II 550 at long last, along with two Antec fans (Antec 75012 120mm 2 Ball Case Cooling Fan - Retail from Newegg). I think they're good enough, I didn't oreder the Panaflos due to the 38mm thickness (I needed two 25mm ones). What do you think of the whole...

Thanks. Should I buy 2 Panaflos or keep the Turbine too?

Thanks for the link, but I would like to order the whole package from Newegg. Is there any good fan on Newegg?

I get your point, but a 450W PSU for 50$ :S? And about the fans, are the specs posted on Thermaltake's site wrong? (79CFM, 21dBA)

That PSU seems to be cheap :S Seasonic with cable extension? EDIT: Recommended spec for 7800GTX systems is 450W PSU. What do you say?
