    What runs in safemode that doesn't with EVERYTHIG unchecked in Startup

    Thanks, I just got it figured out. In Device Manager, CDROM, Propertys, there is a box that if it's checked the drive will access the HD every two seconds. That is the item I've been looking for for a week now. Thanks for replying to my post. Evel.

    What runs in safemode that doesn't with EVERYTHIG unchecked in Startup

    Without going into the whole, long story of my tracing the problem, I've came down to this. I need to know; If you boot with EVERYTHING in startup UNchecked (start, run, msconfig, startup). Then boot in safe mode, what runs with EVERYTHING unchecked that doesn't run in safe mode? Thanks...

    Another new Legal/Ilegal Software question.

    He did say that he would give me some hardware with it. I wasn't sure what he was talking about. If he got it legally with hardware, why don't they include (to him) a COA with it? What's the difference between one with COA and one without (I know, one has a little sticker you put on the side...

    8MB Cache vs. ATA133

    I've seen test where 2mb cache outproformed the 8, but nobody wants to hear about that. One of the tests was between a Maxtor 2mb and a WD 8mb, not a maxtor vs. maxtor. Frome what I've seen, I agree with cdogg, "All IDE drives rarely even get close to the 100MB/s." Just...

    Another new Legal/Ilegal Software question.

    The thing I can't figure out is the sealed one without a COA. It is new, wrapped, but doesn't have a COA. It is actavateable, and registerable. I thought every software has a COA? How can that be without a COA? When, or under what cercomestances would I need a COA? Don't you need one to...

    Another new Legal/Ilegal Software question.

    I know someone who has a New, Still wraped form Microsoft, Windows OEM XP Discs. One has no COA, the other has COA. Both of the disks or COA have ever been activated or registered. The non COA disc (clean) installs w/o the product Key, but still needs to be activated, wich it does w/o...

    Way slow downloads, but still have fast connection

    For the past couple weeks, my downloads have been really, really slow. It can take a couple minutes or longer, sometimes the pages time out. The status bar at the bottom crawls along. The problem is when I go to pcpitstop.com and check my download speed, I get a good speed (711kbs). When I tried...

    13% Fragmented after Defrag

    I did not delete it when I did it. My computer seems to run better when I let windows control the swap. Every time I let win do it I see a noticable inprovment. I have read in so many places where it's better to set it yourself, but I don't see that. Any ideas why? Thanks, Evel Knievel.
