Kippy13 I uninstalled all the Hotfixes that had (SP2) in the name, they do not say pre Service Pack 2 just (SP2) and was able to run SFC with no problem. Thanks for you help, but looks like MS is getting ahead of it's self again with releasing some of the SP2 stuff in hot fixes. Thanks again...

Yeah, it is prompting "Insert your Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD now" when it tries to run SFC...very very odd. -Mat

Kippy13 Sorry about the clairity of the question, it occurs when SFC is ran. I know it is not out yet for the end user, that is what makes it so odd that it is prompting me for the Sp2 disk. It is a customers PC that has no access to the SP 2 distro as of yet, but I did notice that some of the...

I have a pc that is prompting for the Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD and the pc is running WinXP Home Sp1..anyone ever seen this? Tried to burn the I386 folder from the PC to a CD to see if it would find the files there, and no luck. Anyone seen this? Thanks, Mat

You NIC is hanging on an IP address from your modem. If you had a static IP then you would not be getting this latency. If you turn the modem off, you would still experience this problem. For a test you can change your IP address from "Obtain Automaticaly" to "Use this...

There is no reason that you need to have any code other than the COA (CD Key Code). If you have purchased XP more than 4 months ago, and have only installed it on that PC at the time of purchase, all you have to do is install it on the new PC. It WILL need to be activated again, but the way...

I read about the K7SEM having problems with the new .13 core Athlon XP's but I cant seem to find it anywhere...I have been having a lot of problems with them in the last few weeks, since all my CPU's I've been getting have been the .13 core..anyone else have this problem or have a fix for it...

By default your PC should be running PC2100, if you need more specifics about it, then you should pull the ram out and look at the markings on it. If you plan on doing the ram upgrade yourself, then you should be comfortable enought to pull the ram out to look at it. You will see things on it...

If you put this in the run box "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove" it will remove MS Messenger from the system and will not start up any more, but it will need to be reinstalled if you wish to use it again. BTW..even if you remove it, SP1 will...

~cdogg With XP, you can just drag and drop, no other steps necessary. -Mat

This may sound stupid, but do you have the drive on the standard IDE controller or do you have it on the RAID/ATA 133 controller? If you have it on the 133 controller to load, you will need to point it to the drivers for the controller at the begining of the os load (f6 to install 3rd party scsi...

Jexster, Once you have a corrupt HIVE there is no way to boot into safe mode. It controls the communication between the OS and all hardware, XP is not like 9x where software can directly access hardware. forgot to put this is my last post -Mat

Here's the thing with the Easy CD 5.0...it updates the windows drivers for the burner. The "Send To" function does not seem to work well once 5 has been installed on most PC, although I have seen it work a few times. Try to uninstall ECD, and then go to device manager and remove the...

I would vote for the ECS K7S5A, we use them for budget upgrades for customers who don't want to make that jump to PC2100 just yet, but who would like to run a more current processor. I do all the RMA's for the company that I work for, in addtion to being a tech, and I have found a very low...

Go to START->CONTROL PANEL->USER ACCOUNTS and there you will see your name and any others that users of the PC, under you name you will see either "Computer Administrator" or "Limited User" If you are the only name listed then by default, you are an administrator. If you are...

If it is not a notebook, then perhaps is the CPU embedded in the main board...The ECS K7SEM has an option that has a CPU that is infact an 850 Duron, but it posts and performs as a 1200, and WinXP may be getting the CPU specs from the FSB and reporting it incorrecty/correctly as a 890 something...

Sorry, I should have stated that it is XP Home...tasklist is not available in Home. My first thought was that it may be NAV, but I uninstalled it and the problem presisted. Thanks for the input tho! -Mat

I feel that I need to clarify what an OEM Version of a MS OS is. What Dell, HP, Compaq and larger venders sell is not truely an OEM license. They produce their own recovery media or disk image that is shipped with the new computer. A standard OEM copy of an OS is simply a Microsoft ETE cd, and...
