Thread In The XP
Oct 26, 2007I've put this thread in the XP forum as the problem is related to XP. XP is an OEM version and I only have a recovery DVD.I restarted my computer after installing some updates and XP wouldn't load. I tried it in normal mode, last known good configuration and safe mode and none of these worked. I then tried to load the system recovery pre-installed on my computer

Dec 13, 2004It has been bugging me; I have a pentium 4 2.4 Ghz running Windows XP Pro and I do a lot of number crunching. If I want to 'multitask' by clicking another program icon or aplet anywhere on my screen, it usually takes about thirty seconds to respond. My other machine is a PIII with 933Mhz and Windows 98SE. I get a second program to come up in under 5 seconds, no matter how busy the CPU. I was told XP was 'truely multitasking' since there was no DOS to overlay, was this all hype? I know that memory and background tasks can affect this, but my real question is this;Is there an Administrative or setup function that tells XP 'How' to manage programs, like Windows 98, (you can set the pc to Server, or Workstation mode (or was it desktop;

With much help,we did a system restore but since, I can't save my passwords & sign in on my favorite forums etc. I have clicked auto complete in tools, options, content but it still keeps deleting the cookies w/o me doing it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedYet Another RANDOM LAG Thread
May 26, 2006I just got a new computer, and it's all used parts, except the hard drive. Since I've been using it, there has been odd bits of lag at random times. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, it will lag. It happens every few minutes or so for about a second, then everything works again. When I'm listening to music, or watching videos, it will skip horribly for a second, then resume playing. It's REALLY getting on my nerves, cause I record music, and its messing up my tracks. Even as I type this, its lagging... More frequently than before, actually. Any idea of what it could be?

Mar 17, 2006I have read many of the "which AV?" threads and I see that Avast, AVG and Panda are all quite popular here.I do not, however, see much discussion of Trend Micro's PC-cillin, BitDefender or Kaspersky. Are those not popular for some reason, or are the others favored only because they are free?I really don't mind a reasonable annual subscription, but I do want a light footprint and effective security.

Mar 12, 2010After long, hard fought battle against various ailments of my computer, My operating system decided to not run anymore. Of course after all this I decided to finally break down and buy a new computer (besides my machine was about 7 years old), but I do want to salvage some data from it. Now after doing some research, I read about the whole repair install and from this board even,I was wondering if any of you have tried this, how well it works,

Jul 13, 2006I am having a frequent crash problem in WOW. It happens at random times and I get a BSOD describing kmixer.sys as the culprit.I ran Memtest for about 11 hours and didn't get any errors, and I have also been playing Prey and Battlefield 2 which doesn't cause any problems either. I think that should be the main stuff, I just did a fresh XP install about a month ago and have plenty of paging space.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCPU Usage Spikes / Not Similar Thread
Jun 21, 2008I've looked at over 20 related forums on this site, all which haven't solved my problem. All I found useful was the turn off auto update trick that seemed to have brought my minimum usage down from 15 to 0-5.My computer reports free of malware, spyware, and viruses. I use Norton Antivirus, Spybot, Adaware, Panda Activescan, and AVG Anti spyware and have no processes running.When CPU spikes, only possible associated programs are services.exe and svchost.exe, but they only go to 20 at most. System idle process reports normal at 98-99. I'm using Sensors View Pro, which tells me my CPU isn't overheating because it stays at a consistent 3 degrees Celsius. I tried resetting the BIOS, that didn't work. I checked the IDE controllers in device manager to see if they had the correct transfer modes, which they did. I tried updating my MOBO drivers. I can't think of anything else I've tried at the moment.
The biggest thing that stumps me is that my computer isn't sluggish until I start gaming. I only play Battlefield 2, which doesn't require much resources to play and only sucks up about 400 mb of memory. The thing that aggravates me is when my Frames per second average between 10 and 25 and everything gets really REALLY slow. At first I just thought is was a problem with my gaming, but then I realized the bigger problem that my CPU jumps up and down like a heart monitor. I've attached my HiJack this log just in case
I really appreciate it if anyone can assist in solving my problem. I've really done a lot of research not just on this website and results are still inconclusive obviously. It's driving me crazy because I feel like I've tried everything so I feel it must be a hardware issue and then I don't know why it would be...GOSH! Thanks in advance to those brave enough to wrestle this monster!

Mar 17, 2008Found this forum on trying to decipher a blue screen, but I'm pretty bad at diagnosing them.I read a thread about a minidump, and located that last dump from my blue screen and attached it to this post.My blue screen occurs when:1) I'm watching a video on Media Player Classic and all of a suddent the video goes black. The player then freezes if I attempt to move it/do anything with it. 2) After the MPC freeze, I can't select anything. I have to alt tab to be able to click/move anything after that.3) I then kill MPC via [X] and End Process or Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Kill Process.4) Any attempt at then watching another video after that with Media Player Classic blue screens my computer (and it doesn't stay up for me long enough to read it, I forgot where to make it not instantly reboot on blue screen).

Jul 28, 2005Its been a while since I came here, alas, I have not had any major problems on any of my machines due to all the great information I have obtained on this site. however, I just put together a brand new PC, probably my best and most powerful to date, and I do not want anything to screw it up. Here is my configuration. There is nothing on it right now, its brand new only has a few mp3's. Should I install Service Pack 2? I think its good, but I would like some expert advice. Lastly, should I install it through live update or through the Microsoft site, or as someone suggested, install the Network Installation pack for Developers and IT professionals.

I hope someone maybe able to come up with something.I have XP Professional installed. On Control Panel/Regional & Language Options/Languages/Details/Advanced the "turn off advanced text services" always seems to get rechecked.

If the Language bar option becomes available on Control Panel/Regional & Language Options/Languages/Details/Settings, when you open it all the Language Bar Settings are greyed out.

Nov 19, 2007I am going to try to explain this as best I can. This is a friends computer. She has this sewing machine that has a memory stick that she plugs into her computer. As you can see on the 1st screen shot "removable Drive L" is NOT present. It used to show but it does not show anymore. She sad that she clicked on "EJECT DISC", and now Removable Drive L " does not show UNLESS she has the memory stick plugged in as you can see in the 2nd screen shot. So she is wanting to know how she can get "removable Drive L" to show up again, like drives. G,H,I and J. I am asking her for more information because now that I look at these screen shots, I see in the 2nd one that she actually is showing "6" Removable drives.

Instead I have to right click > properties > change icon > OK. Instead of automatically installing the icon, it shows this:on the desktop. It displayed a similar image for virtually everything in the start menu too. This meant I had to install every single icon in the start bar menu manually! What is causing this? How can I fix it so it automatically displays icons for newly installed items?
