Absolutely "freespeech" a older PCI card has known issues with newer versions of Windoze and some newer ver. of Linux as well. But that being said remove the card, enter the BIOS (if your skillset allows if not stay out and seek a pro.) look for perefrial devices or something like that, if there...

sounds like you need to obtain another copy of Win7. Check your burn settings, make sure your burn software is up to the task and your optical device is working like it should. there is software out there to check that. Remember troubleshooting is starting with the small stuff first and working...

pedantic - look it up first. I would say I'm more of a anal-retent, If you have trouble with the MBR then a different file system makes no difference. You first need to use a boot program that will rebuild/repair the MBR. I use anything by HIREN. Those boot cd's have saved my ass many times...

Thang must be a Sat. cracker. Why else would anyone want to do such a thing...Thang?. I shudder at the thought.

stick with Windoze you guys. Have you seen micro$oft's stock price lately? Log on to Bloomberg.com. Bill needs your support.

I agree messyhair42 but keep in perspective the amount of end users of the Linux OS directly effects how long 'free' will stay 'free'. The same can be said of malware directed at Linux which would increase with the number of users. If Micro$oft would release their source code it would probally...

Changing drive letters is not a wise thing to do. Lots of software will not work properly. Many windoze programs refer to specific drive letters for environmental and other variables. You'll have to try to use 'disk management', depending on your skill level, to reverse the changes you made. OR...

And this is why these forums fill up with redundant juvenile questions about trouble that likely wouldn't exist if not for you all thinking inside the box. Instead of avarice try being satisfied with what you have. I, personally won't answer anything to do with unofficial build releases. Have...

How to troubleshoot configuration errors by using the System Configuration utility in Windows XP Please read this link from Micro$oft - this is what msconfig is intended for. Not for managing start up items. Use a third party program for that.

Mystere - adding that many quotes to a post doesn't mean we read it.

Ya it's the same old story 'the latest and the greatest' It's the American Way.

One of my old bosses said to me one time after I complained about brand loyalty - 'there all junk when their broken' - much truth there. Worst: Windoze ME with Vista in hot pursuit Best: 2000 and XP Pro for just about anything.

Have to agree with you 'radenight' ...which Windoze OS did/do you like the most?

This sounds like 'ring around the rosy' - I'd procure a standard 250G + HD. What you want to do is work hard for minimal payoff. Save yourself the grief.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around supporting corrupt institutions. While it is convenient for most of us to utilize whatever resources are available, some of us actually refuse to support cartels,monopolies and corruption. It's all about conscience. If you can live with the fact Google...
