that's crazy. Ive never seen that before. I do remember a program I used when I scratched up a CD to recover some movies I downloaded (no not dirty movies) but since I had dial-up at the time it was a PAIN to download it again. I cant remember the name of the program :(.
Why don't you try slipstreaming SP2 that way SP2 is installed with the normal XP installation.

What's in a name? It's like the reaction people got for Windows "Vista". I was gonna say it sounds a lot like Star Wars too, lol. But oh well, I'm sure it's going to be a great game.
Produces a lot of dust. You could always design a case where one of those fans is actually the side of the case. I've seen that somewhere around here on the forums.

mainly HD speed, the hard drive is probably the slowest component in the PC. To my CPU, it feels like an eternity before the HD data reaches it. And I have raptor drives.
The only problem I have with CS (I get 200ish FPS) but sometimes when I playing I get an illegal operation or w/e so as a result CS closes on me. I don't know why, but it PISSES ME OFF!!!!!
Mind if we get on topic and not wander off on my personal computing life. I use my laptop to take notes in class and it'd be easier for me to put my assignment into my laptop at the end of class before I shut down/hibernate my laptop so I can just turn on my laptop and go "o yea, that assignment"
Not true. All of my classes this semester are computer courses (Cisco 3/4, 2 networking courses) so I kinda have to be on my computer for Cisco, and I have to type up lab reports/documentation for my labds etc...
No but my chicken scratch sucks arse so it'd be easier if i just typed in "CISS-247: Lab 1 Assignment" and maybe a short overview of what I have to do.
Does anyone know of any good software to do this? I found something called StudyMinder and tried it out and it seems somewhat ok, but still a little complicated. MS Student 2006 I thought would have it so I obtained it by some other means to test it out before I bought it and it doesnt have...
The question is...why don't you have your computer on why you sleep? jk.
I have it on cause I'm either downloading off newsgroups or just to leave my AIM message up and see if anyone says anything, I dunno. I turn it off when I leave for my classes, but turn it on when I get home. That and...
I purchased mine here http://xoxide.com/koolance-exos-2-black.html, but mine works great. If the reviews say anything about noise then yea it's semi loud. Not like tornado loud, but it sounds like 2 large fans spinning very fast when at max speed. But it's fairly quiet. I set it to full...
I'd say go for a linksys, I've had problems with d-link. Anyways, get the linksys, then get the 7dbi signal boosters for it and you should be "Taco Bell - Good to go" Or get go straight wired. It's 2006, go with CAT6 cable, that's what'd I'd do. CAT5E at the minimum :D
Strange problem, my problem is that video files I open, every once in a while...Media Player will hang (seen it so many times I know I'm gonna get a blue screen) and my nvidia driver gets stuck in the dreaded loop. So I reboot and back to watchin pr0n or w/e movies I downloaded. hahaha. Check...
