Actually in XP, the default Administrator is hidden by default and usually the password is blank by default. Yes the main account can be named in the installation process, but not the default administrator account.

You can change both the default Administrator and Guest account name, as well as set the password for the Guest account. :)

Try control userpasswords2 in the run prompt. then in the advanced tab, I forget where in there leads to what you want, something along the lines of users and groups which you can also find in control panel->Administrative tools->Computer Management. All you have to do is right click on the...

I find Delicious more towards my needs then xmarks as I have thousands of bookmarks. Didn't realize this thread was old *reports own post*

Apple, as far as I know, offers iTunes and Safari. And the term "PC" is misleading, I would use "Windows"

Odd, I ran it, and was able to open the reports file in Firefox.

Thanks I never knew about that addon! RC1 crashes at certain points, like downloading certain files or loading certain websites.(loads perfectly fine in 3.0 series) Hopefully RC2 is an improvement over RC1. :)

Have you also tried deleting cookies?

An anti virus, or such programs as CCleaner could cause this. Have you checked your privacy settings as well?

I concur.

there is BartPE.

You could setup an mpd server, and use an mpd client to stream music.

I'd install Windows 7. But having never tried Vista, my opinion might sound bias.

Audacity can remove vocals easily. EDIT: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Vocal_Removal

Are there any proxies set in your browser?

You could try installing the XP drivers provided by Gateway

PCDecrapfier?

Downgrade to the official release of Firefox.

I'm not sure how to rearrange your keys manually. But I know of a keyboard layout used by some programmers, which is Dvorak. There is one other layout that I am aware of, Colemak. I hope you find what you are looking for, whether you want to use a layout already made, or make your own layout.

Something in the BIOS is triggering it. You said that setting the time in Windows doesn't trigger it, so it's not OS-related. It's either hardware related or BIOS-related. Have you tried updating the firmware of your BIOS?

You know, Aviria(spell?) has a rescue disc to do virus scans and remove the sucker.

What's about setting the time in the BIOS to 11:55 PM and wait 5 minutes?

1.0, it says it's not applicable while on batteries.

Just a question, where did the Darwin kernel come from? Apple? I assume that has some relation with the BSD kernel? Ok nevermind, Google told me the answer. :) I'll try to get you back on topic now.

Just remember, that OS X is propietory, more than Windows is. They use their own shell and etc. Keep in mind, I've never actively used OS X, I do know that it is UNIX-like in some respects.

Not sure, but Linux and BSD/Other UNIX derivative takes one simple command to crash.

True, it does say which boot option you are on by saying "Current OS". And yes, the delete button is still there.

Didn't think of this idea, this is a wonderful idea to crash Windows with the core Windows applications.

Windows 7 doesn't have that option available in the MSCONFIG application.

Also another method is to boot up Ubuntu and then, sudo apt-get install ophcrack With universe repository enabled, you can install this application to crack the admin password.

Either Ubuntu or Sysrescd will work fine as they have the driver which allows full write/read access.

Also the only way an mp3 quality degrades, is when it is transcoded into another lossy format such as ogg.

Open a command prompt and enter cd c:\ del *.* Not sure if this works anymore, but it's worth a shot.

Hmmm, after some googling, this usually happens with cracked installations. I will let you find the hacks yourself. Please correct me if I'm wrong about your brother's being cracked

This is very odd, is this a legal copy of Windows? There are some registry hacks out there I believe to make it think it is activated.

So you can't login to "Administrator" in safe mode because Windows needs to be activated? Is this correct? I'm trying to gather ideas as to what to do

That won't always work with some computers, you have to wait until after the BIOS to start pressing F8 repeatedly.

I would suggest Clonezilla then use GParted to resize the remaining unallocated space.

Alright :)

I have not used Ultimate Boot CD, but I am currently downloading to try it out. Here's how to for doing through an Ubuntu Live CD: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ EDIT: Keep in mind that I do not recommend doing it through the live cd.
