    xp causing stutter?

    Thanks! I went and changed the display to 16 from 32 and it took care of the problem. It appears the game is too old to handle the newer cards! you might try the same with yours, I got lucky.

    how can i tell which is failing? mobo, cpu or hd?

    Sorry about the rambling, but I have a tendancy to expect people to read my thoughts. good thing they can't, i don't want any "bored to death" deaths on my conscience i will try to go linear: 1. the system goes so fast through the initial boot that you can barely catch what is on the screen...

    how can i tell which is failing? mobo, cpu or hd?

    My head hurts from banging it with the keyboard...

    i don't think it posts anything, it runs to the 00 so fast you get a blink of logo and i have to use pause to try to get into cmos and it won't let me in, it just goes right back to the beginning.

    is the hd making a pass?

    :shocked: I have tried to get my old comp up and I get the listing, a win98 log on screen flash and then a bunch of 00000 and 9's and other things, (once a couple of xxx's!) My question is: Is my hd dead or dying or Is my computer making a pass at me?

    Windows XP install...HUGE problems!

    I had a real problem with xp and it turned out the ide cables were bad. I mean, other than xp stinks. You know, the person who developed xp should be taken out, blindfolded and put in the middle of a Walmart during a 15% off sale.......
