View 6 Replies View RelatedMy friend and I took both of our old computer and combine them so we could have a small end gaming computer. Previously on the Hardrive was installed Windows 98 but we reformatted the Harddrive and are trying to put Windows Xp on it. We went through the setup with a series of from my HP System Recovery CD's (7 Disc's). Which installs Window's Xp, we went through all 7 CD's and at the very last CD when the installation was about complete it says "Unable to locate/create user partition." I have no idea what this means...and everytime we boot up the computer it just trys to do the Hp System Restore again but only goes as far as the unable to locate/create user partition.I'm not real sure what I should do...or how I can get out of it.but if theres anyway possible just to reformat again since I can't really get out of it can you please tell me how!
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have installed Windows XP Profressional on a hard disk of 80GB. The partitions i had made was, C and D drive each of 20 and 60 GB respectively. Later I installed linux over the 60GB space of which i wanted to allocate only 20GB to linux. The 40GB had to be assigned unallocated while installing linux partition. Now I am not able to use the 40GB. In windows, Disk Management I can see the unallocated space of 40GB but of no use. If I right click on the unallocated space on disk management, the New Partition is not highlighted. Would you please tell me how I can use this unalloacted space of 40GB

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt 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;

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?

There is a link to the thread.
I 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter 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,
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 2 Replies View RelatedI'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!

View 9 Replies View RelatedFound 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).

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.

We need to install a retriction that will create an Administrator Password that can not be deleted by simply logging into safe mode. Also, we need to make it impossible for the students to create their own accounts with their own passwords. Right now the teachers are having a hard time, because several knuckleheads keep making a mess by changing the instructor's passwords and creating their own unique ones. How can we create those restrictions?
