Hey, great to see ya! Or, hear from you! ... Or, should I say, see some typings from you? Haha anyway, welcome back. Man, those damned MMORPG's... I was once kind of addicted to EverQuest. Even though I still think it was an amazing game back in its heyday, it's the worst thing when you get...

Well, I guess you could regain all the functionality of that one program with a combination of several free programs. For example, for editing startup programs you could use Startup Control Panel. It's free and very compact & simple. We do have a sticky thread here listing all the freeware...

Really? Which occasions do you use each one for?

Heh I seriously doubt the success prospects of this browser. I haven't tried it, but that's because I don't feel like switching to a browser that doesn't have my beloved FF extensions. :) I have over 10 extensions installed. So many people have put a lot of time and effort into making these...

Hello, all. Does anyone know much about X Servers? I want to run a program called Grace which is not designed for Windows. It says on its website that it can be run with an X Server. Anyone have any recommendations for a free X Server for WinXP Pro? I've never used one before and am a complete...

Bah. Thanks, that was ever so helpful lol.

omg. Seriously. This is a disaster. It's BACKKKK!!!! I dunno what happened, I thought your method solved it, but I downloaded some other stuff, and now it's happening again! :crying: I tried restarting comp to see what happens, didn't change anything. I looked in the services thing, and security...

AHHHH I think it worked!!!! :D Amazing! Thank you, man! :beer: Okay, but I still don't understand... why is it that I didn't have to do this before, during all my time using WinXP? (At least, I don't remember going through this issue, but I do have quite a good memory.) And it seems like...

Noooooooo! It didn't work! :crying: I was so excited... I don't understand, I never had this happen before, in all my 3+ years of using XP now; where the *@%!* did it come from?! By the way, I didn't even use IE to download. I use FF, without exception. And I downloaded installation files...

I attached a screenshot of it below (the first one). Whenever I double click some kind of installation file that I downloaded from the internet, I get that stupid #*!%(&*!(%* -ing popup! :( This is an issue now with both my laptop and my PC, and it seems to be kind of a recent thing. I've been...

Wow, I have no idea. I didn't know people prefer fdisk either... hm. I am looking at this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255867 and apparently fdisk can only format with either FAT16 or FAT32 format. Which means you will have to use the XP CD to format into NTFS. Personally, I had...

Thanks, donkey. I read the whole thing. I'm confused, though, why don't I have to do the fixmbr command? If I don't have a boot sector on my HDD with WinXP (since apparently it was on the HDD with Win98 on it), don't I have to do that command?

Thanks, I've been hearing that answer from others as well. I decided ultimately to stay away from that card because reviewers kept saying how Creative installs lots of bloatware, and also one person said it doesn't work with Linux, and I want to try Linux eventually. Bloatware is kind of my...

I'm considering trying out Linux in some not-too-distant future. I'm also currently doing serious shopping for a sound card. That is, I will definitely order a new sound card today or in a couple days (by end of this weekend for sure). I saw one review on newegg that said in passing: "I guess...

Hey everyone. I'm trying to shop for a sound card, but I'm not sure of what I need. Right now I have this question, which is most important to me: What will be the impact of getting a relatively nice, gamer-oriented sound card on my computer's performance? Do all those features like the "X-Fi...

Hey guys. I have kind of been away from these forums for a while... too much stuff going on. Miss you all, though. Anyway, I'm doing some-keeping before school starts again. And one of the things I want to do is to take out one of my HDD's out of my desktop. The way I've had it is Win98 is on...

Hm, that seems pretty nice, too bad I'm in the US

You know, I thought of that ... and then forgot. And then you reminded me again haha. On the mozilla support forums I stumbled on this article specifically devoted to my problem... And it turned out you were somehow right the first time. As suggested in the article, I checked my exceptions to...

Hm. Okay... I was thinking I might have to try the reinstallation thing (I'm gonna hate having to reinstall all the extensions/themes lol). One thing I want to say, though, is that I definitely never told the browser to not remember my password on those sites... It must be something else?? Can...

That is sooo sweet! My dad has said before how it's rather wasteful to have all those modern glass buildings because the glass is less insulating than, say, a brick building. That being the case, those glassy sky scrapers and other company buildings have to be air-conditioned more (thus using up...
