    What's the best way to install WinXP to allow easy re-installs?

    I've always installed Windows on a single partition taking up an entire drive (which also contains my applications and My Documents), so if I want to reinstall/reformat, I have to back everything up, reinstall Windows, restore all my documents, resinstall all of my software, etc. I'm trying...

    Random restarts when viewing myspace.com

    My computer will randomly restart itself and then on startup I get the error "The system has recovered from a serious error". The strange thing (to me at least) is that, without fail, it always happens when I'm on MySpace (http://www.myspace.com). I've tried loading up 10 different websites...

    NAV 2003 component keeps crashing...

    I keep getting the following error message: "Common Client User Session has encountered a problem and needs to close." After it closes, I can't send or receive email until I restart the machine. I'm assuming this has something to do with NAV scanning ingoing and outgoing emails. Has anyone...

    connect 2 computers to one FireWire hub?

    This is probably a ridiculous question but I'll ask anyway. Can I connect to 2 computers to a FireWire hub at the same time and have them both be able to access all the devices connected to that hub? I'm assuming it won't work, but I can't seem to find any information about it anywhere...

    40 or 80 pin IDE cables for 52x CD-RW?

    Is there any reason to use one or the other for this type of drive? (LiteOn 52x CD-RW) I originally had a rolled 80 pin cable on there and had tons of problems installing windows. I was getting all kinds of random errors that Setup could not copy files from the CD. So the only other cable I...

    Windows XP - Lots of problems

    I finally got Win XP Pro up and running on my new machine. Installed all the drivers without too much trouble. Then I added in another stick of RAM (512MB PC3200, for a total of 1GB) and a Wireless Network card. Installed the drivers for the Wireless Network Card (linksys) and configured...

    Lite On CD-RW problems (I think...)

    I just finished building a new Athlon64 system and am having problems with the CD-RW drive that I installed. At least I think that's where the problem is. First I had a bunch of problems installing Windows, but finally got it up and running. I started installed the drivers for all the...

    Should McAfee Personal Firewall be using this much RAM?

    I have McAfee Personal Firewall Plus installed on a WinXP Pro system. In the task manager, there are three seperate processes associated with this program running, adding up to a total of about 125,000 k in the "mem usage" column. "MpfTray.exe" alone is using 120,108k. That seems like a lot...
