Yes the first thing I did was uninstall the drivers and after that run cleaner - naturally lots of stuff was still on hd. I'll send it back and ask for another specimen.

I had my comp working well with a Gainward 6800 GT card (AGP). I wanted to try installing a Radeon 7000 card, to reduce the noise level. I've uninstalled all graphics card related drivers with a special uninstaller program available form guru3d.com. With Radeon 7000, my comp has following...

If I try to install this utility, at some point of the install process my PC boots. I don't know if I should install it or not - the chipset is 865PE. But I suppose something goes wrong during the install, what could it be?

When I normally boot the OS, there is no such Security tab in File Properties. In Safe Mode there is, but in that mode my external FW drive is not visible.

I can't copy the files. With that depending-phrase I meant that the same Access is denied message comes up but just in different form. I don't know how to check a physical location for files, but a few defrag programs I have tell that the whole disk is contiguous.

I have just one account which has the type of Computer administrator. (Which I use all the time.)

Why is it that I can't access a few files on my HD? There are a few video files, executables and archives like this. I have downloaded them just like any other file, but I can't do anything with them, not open, move, rename, copy, change attributes etc. The only thing I can do is look at the...

Well since EasyCD I've formatted and reinstalled system so no traces of it left anywhere.

Has anyone tried the Update Rollup 1 for XP? I installed it yesterday and I've got 2 BSOD's since with error code 0x0000008E. Any ideas why this might be happening?

Fragmentation isn't the issue (I'm defragmenting automatically every day both HDs). Seems to me X-Istence understood my point best, thanks to you for clarification on the subject. In my opinion Windows should've been designed the way most Linux versions are -- not one process should be given...

LOL, never used anything else but Nero. :) Well, I had EasyCD but that was with my 2x speed HP drive a long time ago. For media I've used only TDK and Maxell.

I'm pretty assured registry isn't the issue. My system is overall very swift and this hasn't changed since install. What I'm talking about is disk activity, when you're actually moving (large) files around and trying to do something else at the same time. Maybe it has something to do with...

I'm sure everyone else has noticed this one too. When there's a lot of hard disk activity (let's say we move a 1GB file to another HD, or defragment a HD), XP gets really non-responsive and user has to wait for disk processes to stop. You can move the mouse around but that's about it. This...

Before. SmartBurn is a small standalone exe-file giving information so I can't see how it could produce the problem. As I said, the drive works well with lower burning speeds. Maybe it has been like that always, but I just now noticed the problem. I've had the drive for a year now and been...

Seems to work with lower speeds.. 20x went OK, 32x didn't. Just bad drive quality I guess. :(

So, I booted now. It looked like the drive worked normally, but after burning CDR, the problem occured again. Looks like it's a post-burning problem after all. Has anyone else experienced something similar..? Edit: Tested again, re-login doesn't help, only restarting computer. I'm wondering...

5 x return to castle wolfenstein multiplayer also the worst game of them all.. too addictive :D

This isn't directly related to the topic actually, but.. NTFS forum is quite slow to scroll up and down (I've tried IE and Opera) compared to other forums using vBulletin. Could it be because of the amount of graphics?

I don't know why but I never got O&O defrag to work correctly with scheduling. It would just run once at scheduled time, despite choosing to defragment every day at given time. Diskeeper works fine in all ways, so that's what I have kept using.

I'm having an odd problem with my CDRW drive (Lite-On LTR-40125S). The problem just appeared out of nowhere: when I insert ANY CD (audio, RW, CDR) the following happens. In My Computer view, the CD drive text changes from "CD-RW Drive" to "CD Drive". Message appears: "Please insert a disk...
