Hey, is there a way to set up xp, to show open apps at the bottom of the screen, like having a second taskbar/toolbar set up just for showing open applications? for those who used ubuntu before..i would like to set up something like that for xp if possible. thanks.

umm fairly new system, about 1-2 years old, replaced the hard drive because the other one was dying, the os install is about 5 months old shamus - how would i check for problems with that?

hey guys, im getting random crashes on xp sp3, the pc will usually crash about 5 minutes after the os has loaded, no error message, just restarts, but won't come back up. i then have to start it a couple of times before it will load windows again, like it will crash while loading windows 2-4...

no fix for this? damn, alright. also i was using bitdefender....and i thought i was pretty good, now that this happened i kinda want to switch av. i hear good things about kaspersky, nod32, and avg. so out of those...which would be like lowest on resources but most protection...i guess the best...

So im getting this error: "generic host process win32 has encountered a problem and needs to be terminated..." i click don't send error report and i get the automatic shutdown message and it says its due to: DCOM Server Process Launcher Terminated Unexpectedly I ran virus checks -before-...

its gotta be at most...a year maybe. anyways got a new drive, and i only have a xp full install cd. so im running that but im getting this 0x000007b stop error on the setup. i google'd it and it seems thats its either a bios option i need to change or i need to slipstream the sata drivers into...

i ran the diagnostics tool, its a western digital, program can't find the drive. im guessing thats bad, should i try to install vista again anyways or look for another drive. also..im trying to reinstall vista...but then i would need a full vista cd right? this is a gateway computer, so i...

ran chkdsk and it ended up saying only 4kb for bad sectors, but it still won't load windows. all i get is the blinking cursor at the top left

oh i still can't get into windows, it still stuck on the blinking cursor screen before the loading bar comes up. im using the vista recovery disc and going into the command prompt and its telling me that the c: is in use. edit: im a retard...i was trying to do it while i was in the c:, got it...

alright that linux thing was a good idea, got the files that needed to be saved and im trying to run "chkdsk c: /r /p" but it says that /p is an invalid paramater, if i run with just the /r parameter it says that it needs to be dismounted first because its in use and all opened handles would be...

carpo are you serious? how do i get stuff off without being able to get into the os, and this computer is pretty new, so i don't understand how it can be dying. * oh and no luck with that repair disk. i was using the repair disk that came with the computer, im downloading the one you provided...

so im guessing somehow my harddrive got corrupted and windows wanted to run chkdsk. it got all the way to the recovering lost files, then it gets to "inserting index entry of index $0 to file 50" got stuck here, ran forever, now windows will not make it to the windows loading screen. i've looked...

checked the connections and theyre good...how would i check the temp? nvidia used to let you check but they switched it to a paid feature correct?

Hey guys, i had this monitor for about..2 months now (Acer X223Wbd) and starting yesterday it appears the image overall, either in the desktop, movies, games, there appears to be like a grainy look to it. the best way i can describe it would like i don't know what the style is called, but like...

i am now leaning towards a 24"....but i think i will need a 1:1 feature to prevent the black bars at the bottom and top during 1080p...also is there a 2.1 speaker system that will allow multiple audio sources to be connected at the same time with the ability to switch between the two on the fly...

ah..but im not sure on which one to get right now...im still looking at the 22" gateway...if i go to the gateway site on the page that compares all the monitors, it lists that with dvi-d i can get 720p and 1080p...but if i go to the product page for the 22", it says only 720p, and 1080p through...

wow thanks guys, i like that theres choices...but the dell is out of the question since the price is insane...im liking the gateway's looks and ive used a samsung and enjoyed it so its a toss up right now... newegg has the samsung listed at $419 and the gateway on their own site has it for $469...

Hey guys... looking to get a @22" lcd monitor that will allow me to connect my ps3 and pc at the same time...i guess both can be connected either way..but im looking for either 2 hdmi, 1 hdmi 1 dvi-d, or 2 dvi-d. i want to be able to use the ps3 in 1080p. any suggestions? i found...

nvidia, what can i do, i opened the nvidia control panel thing, looked around but didn't know what to change since i never used it to control brightness and stuff. ok i tried to take a snapshot to compare, but i can't screencap with a directx video, and if i use vlc to capture a snapshot it...

updating my geforce drivers and my directx. all of the videos i play seem to look "washed out", like theres a grey/white screen over the video. its affecting quicktime as well but not VLC. my vlc is using opengl as its renderer so im guessing thats why its ok, since if i switch it to dx, the...
