Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I am not an expert in MS DOS, but I would suggest opening up a DOS window and typing the following:
rename *.* *.wpd
This will give add the .wpd extension to all of the files in the directory, and you should be finished renaming all 2000 files in about 30 seconds or so. :D
From my point of view, achieving the best framerates per dollar spent is certainly important, but the overall noise level of my system is critical. I have seen many reviews of these two cards, but I have no idea which will satisfy my need for a quiet PC.
I know that the stock X800 Pro is...
I have an Asus A7V8X DX and I have had the exact same problem, even though I reformated my hard drive and did a fresh install of WinXP Pro and all of the latest drivers. Rather than play around with turning sound on and off, etc, I have eliminated the problem for now by simply turning off...
BlindedByScience is giving you your answer. If you want you can try using a boot disk in order to give you access to your important data files, and perhaps save them either to floppy or to another partition.
With respect to your question on Partition Magic, the answer is that it will create...
