Just about anything that takes a little effort causes the fan to speed up and those popup windows warning me about it. In my Mandriva OS on a separate HD it can work hard and hardly a whimper from the processor. What's going on? I'm afraid I'll burn my processor up in XP Home.

Every time I open a file, I get this message:

It even happens for the "Show Desktop" icon in my Quick Launch bar.
All these files are just on my local hard drive.

here:http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1202672,00.asp
What it doesn't tell you is if you DO have something that says DWORD in the registry.
I'm not sure if I should add NoLowDiskSpaceChecks or not

View 2 Replies View RelatedMany new drivers aren't signed by Microsoft so WinXP will warn you or even prevent you from installing new drivers for a device. To prevent this warning or to allow new un-signed drivers to be installed do the following:1. Go to start/run/ then type secpol.msc2. Browse to local policies/security options3. Change "Devices: Unsigned driver installation behavior" setting to Silently succeed.4. Reboot Computer.Another helpful hint from tweakxp.comKen P Or, especially if you are using XP Home where there is no secpol.msc, right click on your My Computer icon, click properties, change to the Hardware tab, click the "Driver signing" button and click ignore.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've always kept my pc up-to-date with all MS patches, and never had any problems.All seemed well after the SP3 installation, until recently.After logging in as 'Administrator', I was asked to 'active windows in the next few days'. I had no problems in doing so (as I'm running a legitimate version of Win XP Pro). I then got a window that said 'Windows is already activated'.All seemed well, then I went to logon last night, again I was asked to 'active windows', when I clicked OK, the system logged me off.My one solution was to boot to safe mode and remove sp3.When I rebooted the pc, all seems well.My question what caused this, and how do I prevent it from happening again? I want to re-install SP3, but am afraid that eventually windows will not let me in at all.

I have a new computer that i just built. It has a Biostar I945PA7 motherboard, with an intel Pentium D (dual-Core) 3.4 GHz 800 Mhz FSB 2x2 MB L2 Cach Processor, a CoolMax Cr-550W ATX2.01 Power Supply, a 80 GB 7200RPM Western Digital Hard Drive, an eVGA2n25 nVidia GF 6200TC 256MB(512MB) video card, and a sony 18x18 Dual Double DVD-RW, and i have 2GB Corsair DDR2. I am running windows xp professinal and have not installed any other programs or drivers.First, I had a very difficult time installing windows xp professional. During installation, it has turned off unexpectedly and gave no error messages. Then once I was able to get windows xp installed, it installed it with a password. I then re-formated the hard drive and re-installed windows and finally it installed properly. Now, I have been trying to download drivers for the video card at the eVGA website(http://www.evga.com/support/drivers/....asp?switch=2),
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm really confused about the whole 32/64 bit issue. I use Gibbs CAM at work and need to get a new desktop system built for it. When I call Gibbs they recommend building the new system based on the AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor and running the Windows XP Professional OS. They maintain this configuration really works great and operates better than an Intel 32 bit system. They said ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE THE WINDOWS XP PRO 64 BIT VERSION as it does not run well and I will have compatibility issues with Gibbs and possibly other software even if I am operating in legacy mode. Gibbs, by the way, does not support 64 bit.
View 12 Replies View RelatedSo my laptop crashed the other day, and it couldn't get past the windows loading screen, so i was able to back everything up to my ext. hard drive through the command prompt and system restore my computer. Ive had to restore it once before and everything went smoothly... but this time.. when it would be reinstalling the original software, it would give me error messages that files could not be found. Once I got through all of that, and got my desktop screen back and everything appears to be working again... my computer acts like somethign is wrong with the processor. The main thing is that my mouse gets hung up.. like the computer is thinking too hard. Ive watched the system processor.. and the system idle... keeps going up to 99%. I think something is wrong with my computer... can anyone help me figure it out? Is it a hardware problem? Thanks!
