whatwhere - Well that's a bummer. What you point out though is really some of the same problems people have voiced with older PC's and attempting to upgrade to Vista. What hardware didn't it like in your HP? Was it just drivers and can you go get them? If the HP ran 98 and than XP you wo

WHQL just means it won't complain about signing. Won't affect if the driver works for you or not. If the driver version number is the same, it's the same driver (unless you either got a corrupt package or hacked version). Trying it now, but I'm not having a problem. I'll try tomorrow with 158.18, a 7700GT, and that codec pack. actually when the drivers are WHQL certified it does mean the OS will not cry bout the

linux will never be big unless the OS can support all major hardware and software the way winblows does. this is the reason why we are stuck with microshaft,trust me when i say IF linux had a great GUI like winblows and supported all major hardware and software like winblows can,i would blow out winblows and install linux in a heart beat ,but since linux can not support all hardware and software for now we are stuck with winblows.now my question is....is there any way i can get a mac OS to run o

in and it will only read the max of 3 gb's Is there a way around this that you can be sure your memory is installed right? or software that will tell you? the only way your going to know if all 4 GB's are installed is in the bios but the OS won't detect all 4 GB's although they might be some programs out there that might be able to tell XP the correct amount

the bug i found in OD 1.9 is, when having the weather icon vista's DEP (data execution prevention) will close out OD 1.9 but if you remove the weather icon vista's DEP won't close it..as far as the start button not working for you, just totally uninstall OD and reboot,after you reboot delete the OD folder and then reinstall OD 1.9..hopefully that work's for ya..also make sure you have admin privilege's other wise it won't install

because in win xp (if that's what your running) will only read the max of 3 GB's cause XP does not have a good PAE (physical address exchange) so you could have 20 gb's of memory in and it will only read the max of 3 gb's

it's more and likely you'll ether have to set up a dual boot or nuke the drive all together.since vista was pre-installed it's a high chance it's a fresh install meaning there is no other OS on the drive but the current one.some often a OEM will set 2 partitions on the drive, one being the main (where the OS is installed and running) and the other is usually a restore.

usually when i delete a program it is also best to go thru the registry with a scanning tool like tweaknow's reg cleaner or program called registry crawler and delete the reg settings the program has installed in the reg.how ever if you are unfamiliar with the registry then don't bother with it,deleting the wrong entry will most often render the system useless

i got the 64 bit version because it has greater coding and a greater architecture and is more far more superior and stable then the 32 bit versions, with the 64 bit hardware the OS is (to me it is) a lot faster...so far i have yet to get any BSOD's with vista x64 compared to a lot of the BSOD's i would get in XP pro (32 bit)when playing games like DooM 3,quake IV and HL2 ETC..plus not to mention being that 64 bit is alot more superior and stable then that of 32 bit eventually in the next 2 to 5
