    Strange New Problem

    I have Windows XP SP2 and all was good until AVG started not working. I couldn't update or DL a new copy since every time I went to Grisoft's site the Browser (IE 6 or FF) would just exit. Now I cannot run anything like HiJack This or AdAware without the applications simply exiting within a...

    Laptop problems - XP Home

    I have a laptop with XP home, 512MB and 40GB HD. Windows XP tries to start up then blips to a blue screen then reloads to the 'safe mode, 'regular mode' option screen - that is the constant loop. I cannot access XP Home in any mode - it always blips into that blue screen then back to the...

    Wierd Win XP pro/browser problem.

    I just got a new computer and installed my Windows XP pro on it. Most things seem to work except it may take a few times to get a working browser. FireFox 1.0.1 and IE 6 crash to the desktop 1-3 times before I can view the internet. I also had issues with Norton 2004 being unable to update...

    I have a DELL 4600 (2.8GHz, 512MB), 17" LCD (E172FPb), GeForce FX5200 (128MB), SB1024. I am playing some games (not the latest gen, Neverwinter Nights for example) and I notice a lot of glitchiness, game hangups, sound clipping. I cannot figure out what the problem is. I have disabled the...

    Frontpage 2000 does not work with XP service pack 2?

    It seems my Frontpage 2000 does not work with XP service pack 2 or possibly some other component. I get an error at 0x73e6827e about memory not being read. The repair procedure was done a couple of times as well as loading/reloading. I still cannot get FP2000 to work with XP SP2. Any ideas?

    New old Hard Drive

    My old computer's power supply blew up so I put the old HD in as a slave in the 'new' computer. The problem is the old HD randomly starts up and shuts downs (whirring noises) and it slows down the whole works for a bit. Is there a way to control or limit this since the old HD is now only a backup?

    Academic Software

    Is there any difference in the software that is sold through the teacher/faculty/student discount programs? The sometimes HUGE difference in price has me wondering. My friend just got StudioMX for more that 1/2 off what is available to the general public. Is this a PR thing or are there...

    XP home and Office 2000 error

    I have XP Home and Office 2000. I just had to reinstall XP home and all the latest patches and drivers. When I went to install my Office 2000 (I do have the key and it's all legit) like I have done a few times before, it won't let me! XP is asking for my XP professional disk 1 or some...

    My GeForce Ti4400

    I have the GeForce Ti4400 w/128mb (MSI). It seems I am not getting very good performance anymore. AOW:Shadow Magic and NeverWInter Nights bog down on 800X600 and low refresh settings. Any tips or tricks to get more oomph out of this card?

    MODEM errors and Win98

    I made the mistake of doing a fresh install of Win98 on my parents old machine. Now the modem won't work. The modem never installs correctly and I get the PTVCD errors too often. The modem never initializes. PCTEL D-11561V/P2A is the modem I used from my Compaq on their machine. I did...
