Perris said a 'welcome back' to me in the tweaks thread...made me realize that I rarely post here anymore and I wanted to share my mixed feelings on NTFS and what it has become to me...random rantings over a glass of beer I guess. First, I gotta say sometimes NTFS seems like such an elitist...

Just try it

OK, my setup right now: C: NTFS primary partion with Windows XP Pro and apps D: NTFS partition for data H: NTFS primary partition (empty at the moment) I plan on doing a second XP install to H: partition this weekend. Questions for after I'm done: 1) When I boot into H: will it the...

Has anybody installed this update and what were the repercussions? I think I'll wait a while...

My old one bit the dust. Any recommendations? I'm back in dialup hell and miserable. I can't buy one in my town so will probably order one online.

Clicking on "Go to first unread post" is shooting me to the last post in all threads...even threads I've not read any posts in before...anyone else notice this or is it my beer?

Can anyone tell me why I get the attached error while surfing, but if I choose to ignore it I can continue surfing indefinitely without any problems? And how do I make it not come back?

I tried a new beer Lowenbrau Premium Dark I like it a lot

Hardware gurus, I need your help. For background on my problem, please read this thread first. First, I can't get my mb to clock right; it defaults to 100 mb bus, but I can't change it to 133 fsb in bios...it simply shuts down after making the change in bios and 'save and exit'ing. OK, so...

Guys and gals, I am at my wits end and could really use some diagnostic advice. This is going to be a long story but I want to be detailed because there's got to be an answer in here somewhere. First, let me state that I've assembled at least a dozen systems over the years without any...

See this post to see how I killed my Soyo Dragon Plus. I am now open to suggestions for a new M.B.; ATX size, XP Athlon 1800, DDR memory...as many USB ports as possible; I don't overclock, but flexibility is nice. USB bootable would be nice! Thanks in advance for your condolences and...

When I left work today our systems admin guy was upgrading our workstations from NT (!) to Win2000. This is the only Windows OS I haven't toyed with yet and am open to suggestion as to what settings I should screw with first...heh heh Any pitfalls or annoyances I should be braced for?

Just received a Thermaltake Volcano 7 which is gonna replace a stock cooling fan on my Athlon XP 1900. I'm not using thermal paste at the moment, just the sticky pad that came with the stock fan. How important is it that I hold off on installing my new fan until I buy some paste? I'd really...

I'm looking for the absolute cheapest box I can get for my sister which meets the following minimum specs. I'll be adding extras like a CD burner, DVD drive and larger second hard drive later and I own a second copy of XP Home which I'll give her if the box doesn't come pre-loaded. Personally...

This isn't happening on my system...ANYMORE that is because I don't run screensavers. However a friend of mine just got a new off the shelf system and he's experiencing this problem: while watching a movie on DVD the screensaver will come on as if there were no system activity. I don't know...

Now was that so painful? LOL OK, maybe it was. But it's a nice touch and much appreciated!

I'm selling my "secondary" XP 'Go Pro' collectable kit on ebay, if anyone's interested.

There's a DVD boxed set available only in region 2 I want to get ("The Great War"); Powerdvd only lets you change the region code 5 times before 'locking' the region; am I correct in thinking that if worse comes to worse I can simply uninstall and reinstall Powerdvd to unlock the region code...

In the spirit of My Favorite Tweaks: Besides xp-erience.org, what sites do you find yourselves constantly checking for updates? Links only please, no need for reviews! I'll kick off with The Bing Crosby Internet Museum bulletin board breaking news headlines from the...

My MB is a Soho SY-K7V Dragon Plus! which includes a smart card reader. Have any other owners actually used the thing and with what software/cards? I'd love to find a use for it.
