Which of these are most demanding of hardware, games or movies? I'm asking because I'm building a home theatre pc that'll only be needed to...
Still XP. Can't see any advantage in Win7. Come to think of it, that'd make an interesting subject for a poll; "Why do you prefer Win7 to XP? "
Hawk22, thanks for your response. But the problem is that, every so often, the REPAIR option isn't available. My first post explains this in...
pccarehimanshu, thanks for the info. That's very useful stuff :-) Later: Working through the suggestions. Several of the fixes depend on...
I've just replaced a dead motherboard. Most times I've done this there have been no problems; Windows XP has recognized the new hardware and...

I used to know the answer to this one but since I've had my handy Power Supply tester I've never needed to try it. My question is in two parts:...
Seems to me that the whole email business is so complex and arcane that very few folks, including my ISP, fully understand it. My provider's...
So it's true, then? Interesting..... Thanks for your response, rcflier.
I'm no expert on power and power supplies but I know enough to tell if a power supply is dead because I've got a handy little tester that connects...
retiredlearner, thanks but no, that's not it. They're talking about adjustments to the XP Theme, it doesn't work for Windows Classic. But PeteC...
tashman847, thanks. But that's not the answer. I realize that your link leads to a supposed fix for the "Taskbar" but it only affects the Title...
