Ava3ar are you certain about that? I thought that since it's being labelled a stand alone product that we'd all have to pay for it. (I'll be thrilled if I can still download it for free, that just isn't the way it sounded to me.)
Do you have a wireless keyboard and or mouse? Or wireless net access? I don't think I've ever even heard of WM radio but I've seen wireless keyboards/mice cause peculiar problems before.
I don't think I said a single word about the Athlon 64 or FX's performance in 32bit applications. And yes, the 64 bit chips (especially the FX) are faster than the Athlon XP's in 32 bit mode but no one is going to see the effect of 64 bit computing until applications start supporting it. So gulo...
I'd say if you don't have the Athlon yet then just keep the P4. 64 bit CPUs really are next to worthless until OS's and applications/games start supporting them. The Athlon FX is a much better chip than the Athlon 64 as well so if you ever make the move to 64 bit I'd go with an FX. Bottom line...
The best way to get into 2d art is to just sit down and draw for a while. There are some great books out there. The one I first started with was "Marvels guide to drawing comics" or something like that. But that's the book I read that started me on perspective, foreshortening and drawing 3d...
Is there corruption while it's still booting in dos mode? Have you checked the bios settings for AGP Aperture and AGP Port speed? Are you certain the fan is still spinning?(if it has one)
I did some quick searching and found a couple of things that may be of interest. First, a description of the svchost.exe service.

You sir are correct. At least this quote from willits was all I could find.

Just thought I'd back up Darkside here and reiterate that the Doom III engine does not have a 4 player limit. The maps it ships with do. I'll also go digging if you want me to but at one point Carmack said something like "I expect people will release 16 player maps almost immediatly". On topic...
And if it's the last one the start thing should actually be outside of the mansion on the street, right to the left of the entrance (if you're facing it)
I'd just get whatever size you think you'll need. If you haven't run into any space troubles with the twenty gig then I'd just get a 40. But if you continually find yourself deleting things then an 80 or 120 gig would probably be better. As far as installing them goes you just have to change the...
Reformatting the drive WILL erase all information on the partition as will deleting the partition. The repair option for windows XP should appear before you erase the hard drives and it basically replaces all of the windows files but leaves your files/programs alone.
Partition Magic has a...
As far as I know Partition magic would do it but you'd have to get into windows to install that. Otherwise I can't think of any way to do it without wiping out the partition and reformatting it.
I've got a couple of questions...
Can you get into safe mode? If so have you tried a restore...
Currently I don't have anything in my PCI slots. But what can you put in them?
Sound Cards
Networking Cards
Modems
Raid/IDE Controllers
Tester thingies
Older graphic cards
Usb Cards
Firewire Cards
Parallel Cards
Serial Cards
Gameport Cards
That's all I can think of but basically...
You won't need a new fan if you're getting a retail CPU pack. If it's OEM then yes you will need a new CPU fan. (If you meant case fan I dunno, it depends on whether or not your case comes with them and how many it comes with.) And yes your Radeon 9800 will fit in the new motherboard. And you...
Basically you need:
An idea
A team that can do the following:
3d Modelling (XSI EXP)
2d Texturing (Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro)
Programming in C++ (Whichever compiler works for you)
Website Design/Programming
And then you need the drive and determination to see it through. It's...
Those don't look like what you'd need but I can't remember exactly what should be on there. Is your floppy drives light on all the time? Or does it come on at all when you first boot up the PC? (If it's on all the time your cable is in backwords, flip it and try again. If it's never at all it's...
