    tripple boot question

    Once you install Windows, it'll most likely overwrite the boot sector of that drive. You might want to take a look at your current GRUB setup and do what is needed to save the settings. That way if it does overwrite your current install, you can just reinstall it via Windows and reset it.

    Massive cpu/memory use in Media Center 11

    What are you trying to play in WMP? If you are trying to watch a Divx movie, it might be the codec and not WMP itself. In that case, try updating your codec with something like K-Lite Codec Pack. You also might want to try uninstalling it and then reinstalling it. Make sure you reboot...

    Is there a Thread with all codes?

    Best thing I've found to do is go to Google and type in "Vista error" and put the number behind it. That will usually tell you what's is causing it and how to fix it. This is the first one I found after entering "Vista error 80244022" into Google...

    Looking for cheap webhost

    I used 1and1's "Home" package on a linux machine. I pay about $60/year and it comes with 2 domain names, and the rest of the numbers are great. Lots of space, lots of bandwidth, and other goodies. I've had them for about 4 years now and have only had 2 issues, and both were my mistake.

    DVD prog that takes good screens (& not bloatware)?

    The DVD / Movie player I use "BS Player Pro". It plays my DVD, DivX, Xvid, ect, ect.... never tried it for screenshots as I have never needed to take a screenshot for anything. Don't know what kind of quality you want from a screenshot, but it seems pretty good to me. http://www.bsplayer.org/

    Will MS swap me for media with SP1 already on the disk

    Why not just get the Tech install of the service packs and put them on a CD? That's what I do. I have an original XP Cd and another Cd that I put SP2 and SP3 on (don't need SP1 if you install SP2, and can't go to SP3 without SP2) Here's Vista SP1 Standalone 32bit -...

    Help required - can't boot into xp cd

    If you totally disconnected the hard drive then the computer doesn't even think it's there. Master or Slave mode don't usually mean anything. I ran my optical drive as a Slave with nothing else on there for months before realizing it. That's just simply a way to get 2 devices on 1 cable. It...

    SOLVING p2p causing internet slowdown/router disconnect/router reboots

    You can lower the timeouts in the "Administration>Management" section of DD-WRT. Toward the bottom you'll see "IP Filter Settings". This is where you can limit the timeouts for TCP and UDP. My personal settings in there are "4096>300>300" As for the power of your router... 200mhz isn't...

    full install of a xp pro

    You put the hard drive into another computer and reformatted it, thus removing Windows from the hard drive. The "NTLDR is Missing" is an error that you get when the XP boot loader is working but the file that it needs to work is gone. If you are trying to boot from the install of Windows that...

    SOLVING p2p causing internet slowdown/router disconnect/router reboots

    I love Linksys, but when it comes to a router for p2p, Linksys WRT series is one of the worst. I'm using the WRT54GL and once I get to around 1000 active connections, my speeds slow down to less than a crawl. I'm using "DD-WRT v24 (05/24/08) std" and have just learned to live with the...

    My Hackintosh

    For why? For putting software on hardware that it's not designed to go onto? If you have a legal version of Leapord that's not being used (Your computer took a MAJOR dump and now you have the software but not the hardware) I don't see why it would be a major deal? It's not like he's saying to...

    Extract file from corrupted HDD

    Have you tried getting a 2.5" to 3.5" hard drive adapter and putting it into a normal computer running Windows XP/Vista? Or getting a 2.5" external carriage to put the drive in? This might allow you to access the information with a normal data recovery program and not in DOS. It might even...

    Help required - can't boot into xp cd

    You might want to open the case and unplug the hard drive ribbon cable and power connection leaving only the DVD drive hooked up. When you reboot the computer it will have no other drive to boot to and if it doesn't boot then, try to boot to the same disk just to be sure that it's able to be...
