    New XP Install - ton of issues with Ad-Aware, S&D, Firefox, etc.

    Well, after much back and forth, I am still largely unable to correct the issue. Nothing I've run has been able to identify any issues with memory and I've attempted another reinstall of the OS from the ground up. 1 - formatted the drive, began installation from CD, ran no updates and...

    New XP Install - ton of issues with Ad-Aware, S&D, Firefox, etc.

    I installed a new HDD as my boot drive which required a whole new installation rather then an installation over the top of Win2K. I haven't tried memtest, only Sandra and Prime95 which ran without issue. I'll give memtest a try with a fresh install and see what I can find. Thanks for the...

    New XP Install - ton of issues with Ad-Aware, S&D, Firefox, etc.

    The system is not OC'd (but thanks for what I can only presume to be a smart-assed inquiry) and I am running SP2. I've run into the same issues regardless of whether I try and run the apps pre or post update installation. As previously noted, I encountered none of these issues when on Win2K.

    DDO - Don't buy it

    Perhaps I should have been clearer and stated post OR view, rather than post/view. /shrug DDO, as far as I know, allows for the same and you only get access to other sections as part of being registered, though that also could have changed with release.

    DDO - Don't buy it

    Lol, welcome to 2003-2004 where MMORPGs started only allowing registered users to post/view forums for their games. WWII Online, SWG, WoW, Shadowbane, etc. all function in very similar fashion. While I agree it does prevent the non-player from seeing what some players consider the negatives of...

    New XP Install - ton of issues with Ad-Aware, S&D, Firefox, etc.

    I've recently moved from win2k to winxp pro and have performed the installation and relavent updates three times. With each installation I continue to run into the same issue, Firefox randomly hangs for 15-30sec, Ad-Aware starts and then stops but still shows a s process running, Search &...

    Upgrade timing? Better to wait?

    I've currently got a DFI 875B MB, Intel 3.2Hgz, 2gigs 3200Crucial RAM and an ATI X850XT video card. Overall I am pretty pleased with the setup, though BF2 and CS2 run a bit laggy beyond 1280x1024 with any AA beyond 2x on. I'm considering an moving to a DFI SLI-DR Expert, AMD 64 4000 and...

    DFI 875B Ethernet trouble...

    I am in the process of reinstalling XP w/sp2 on a system with a DFI 875B motherboard. I've downloaded the drivers from DFI's site (they have one .zip for Lan drivers which covers all OS) but XP does not recognize any of the .inf files as suitable for the board and when I run the setup it tells...

    BF2 Bug

    I had to do a full wipe for BF2 as I was previously running Win2k (still can't believe I got forced into XP) and have been pretty irritated with the experience overall. Not only does XP run dogged by comparison to 2k, but even with a fresh install BF2 was a bitch to get running. Screens take...

    DFI Lanparty 875P-T

    I've hadn't checked the voltages (didnt' even think about it) as the board and PSU was the only thing unique to the situation. I had a hell of a time finding a 24 pin PSU to begin with, though maybe the one purchased (need to find out the moake/model) wasn't up to snuff.

    DFI Lanparty 875P-T

    No one else has this board? If so, do you have any USB devices working with it? As an update, we've received our 3rd board from DFI which immediatly stopped working upon insertion of a USB keyboard and printer. At this rate I am at a total loss as to the issue, as is DFI who has stated they...

    DFI Lanparty 875P-T

    3-4 weeks ago I purchased a DFI 875P-T MB, Intel CPU and 2gigs of Corsair RAM as a built-out for one of the manager's at my work (not my selection of hardware, just puting together what they picked out). Upon receipt of the board, I found that it would not boot. Reset everything, tried 2...
