i did the update to SP1 the first or second day it was released...to be honest it does seem to speed up my system some what.
whatwhere
i run norton and i've never had a problem with it...and i been doing computers for the past 15 years.
winblows XP gold? i've never heard of that version.
[quote]My Intel onboard graphics work just fine and play every game I have thrown at it...[/quote] even though this post is old..yes i bumped a old post...but...run crysis at full load on your intel chip...20 bucks says it locks.
[quote]Windows 7 will be in public beta stage.[/quote]to be honest i would rather have microsoft take thier time with the new OS and make sure when it's set for public release it doesn't have a zillion and one bugs even if it takes like (it may sound stupid) 4 or 5 years...plus i wonder what it will look like...hopefully it will have vista ultimate's task bar,start globe and start menu...or atleast the task bar and start globe...
well to be honest, the game company assumes no liability nor responsibility over what the end users do.if they imitate the game then chances are they are ill and do not know the difference between dream & reality,if they are not ill and did it then they are a complete retart.
actually i've never had any problems with vista even before the SP1 was released..then again i run ultimate x64 and i think 90% of the problems with vista were more and likely were in x86 versions
luckily i still have my windows XP pro with SP2
[quote]And this is why you never trust your computer to those kind of people (I'm a "if you want it done right, do it yourself" type of person )[/quote]LOL that's how i am..if it's broke i'll fix it myself...you never know what those people will do to it.
just for the sake of asking, are you running windows defender? if so disable it in the msconfig.exe...last time i tried to install windowblinds on my old xp system the windows defender alway blocked it for some reason.
even though i don't know him/her but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
lol sometimes i feel like flushing it...i have a program called peer guardian..of course one of the winblows update broke the program (i got ultimate 64 bit) so in order for me to use the program i have to reboot and choose the disable driver enforcement.
most onboard graphics cards will sometimes "borrow" physical memory if it runs out of it's own.
[quote]We are having random crashes through the day.[/quote]damn windows :LOL:
ok this maybe a stupid question but, can you boot into safe mode or will it continue to give you the boot error? IF it does allow you to boot into safe mode (fit F8 before it shows the windows boot screen..if you get it to late then just hit your reset button this will interupt the boot strap and it should ask you a few options,one will say safe mode)after getting into safe mode (hopefully you can) go to your control panel and choose "programs and features" and try to uninstall the boot program

[quote]Laptops aren't non-upgradeable, but yes they are more limited in terms of what you can upgrade. You can add a bigger/extra harddrive, more ram, should even be able to add a graphics card, but it is more specialized in regards to the laptop hardware and cost. [/quote] i didn't say they were non-upgradeable...i just said they were limited to things lik the cpu,mem,HDD and optical drives oh and floppy drive (if it has one..but then again these days they are obsolete).you can also upgrade
go to start then click run and type %temp% as shown when the temp folder opens up, delete ALL of the files in that folder and try installing the program again.if you do not feel comfortable deleting those files simple move them into a new folder on your desktop then go ahead and tyr installing the program again.
awesome system man...i just got done building my new super system as well...the only thing that sucks is i don't have a camera...but to give a discription the case looks like the fatman bomb.i have a 1 gallon water tank in the nose i use dexcool coolant since it help prevent corrosion and rust and the case is made out of 6AL 4V titanium( 6 parts aluminum,4 parts vandanium and 90 parts titanium)...just to make the case cost me a few grand not counting the intel C2D 9775 45 NM cpu and 2 8800 ultra
i don't think microsoft is gonna release a OS that fast since vista was only released almost a year ago...i would much rather have them fully debug the hell out of the new OS before sending it out on store shelves LOL last thing we need is more headaches...hopefully they will be a 64 bit of the new OS...32 bit blows big time...the whole time running vista ultimate x64 i've rarely had any problems with it...
desktop bigtime..desktops can always be upgraded to be ever more powerful..laptops are limited.the only thing good bout a laptop is it's portable. /edit to be off topic a tad from what micro$haft i mean microsoft says the SP1 for vista will be released tommorrow you can read about it here [link="http://blogs.msdn.com/zainnab/archive/2008/02/29/vista-sp1.aspx"]SP1 release date[/link]
i was using AOL at the time but i was surfing the internet and found a site called download.com,while i was looking at thier huge downloads and such i ran across a program called windowblinds...being curious of what the program was i downloaded it,scan it for viruses and then installed it...it was a neat program too...i was running winblows 98 at that time and i found the program pretty cool i then did a search using AOL and it linked me to this site which i must of downloaded a truck full of sk
but then again people must realize is that when ANY new OS comes out which includes and does not exclude windows,linux,unix,solaris ETC some people will like it some will not...the reason being is the new OS has more features and a completely different look plus it's got more security features some people will like these feature some will not, some people will love those features some will not.XP got good when SP1 was released and got greater when SP2 was released.vista is going to be the same w
Never used Windows ME be glad you didn't..ME was THEE biggest POS OS's you will ever have..i ran that for around 10 months and let me tell ya it was one of THEE most biggest,hugest piece of shite OS's you will ever run...constant BSOD's,constant screw ups,constant lock up's ETC i had to litterally nuke the drive once and sometimes twice a week...it was that bad...and the only thing i used to do on it,was play video games...98 was millions of times better
