Upgrade XP and Outlook Express 6 Issues

Hi all, I just upgraded my windows 98SE comp to XP Proffesional - just popped the cd in, and followed the directions. It said it would keep all preferences etc, and so it did - same desktop, same programs, same e-mail settings. Kinda weird, however, is that all my old e-mail files are no longer...

Windows XP and 98SE Networking

Hi all, I have a newly XPed (proffesional) machine hooked up to a hub. This hub connects to my other, 98, machine, as well as the cable modem. Both computers have different IPs from Comcast. How do I get the network running again? On 98 it was simple: unplug the cable modem, and you could...

help me decide! EPoX or Giga Byte?!?

Don't take me as an expert, but I've had two Epox motherboards, and they've both been very reliable and easy to work with. Flashing with a floppy drive really isn't that much trouble, so don't take that as a factor when you weigh the two boards. Good luck!

Computer stopped recognizing cd-rom drive HELP!!

I've heard that having both the harddrive and cd-rom on the same IDE cable can be a bad thing. Hey, you've got two IDE plug-ins on the motherboard anyway, why not use it? Can't think of much else... might want to update BIOS just in case? If all else fails, backup and re-clone from the gateway...

XP Install Errors? And Crucial Ram

Hey all... When I try to reinstall XP (part of larger problems I'm having), I get error code 4 in the installer, telling me it can't install itself, and that I should press a key to restart. Now, this might be linked to the crucial memory I have (266fbs 2100 DDR). I have 2 256mb modules, and...

Argh! What a way to start a new year. XP

Haha.. well, update: I pulled the newer of the two crucial dimms, and reinstalled XP. In the middle of a disk check after XP had installed, the thing restarted on me, and now tells me AGAIN that NTFS.sys isn't there. When I put the other 256mb stick in, it just reboots. The computer is not...

No Bdawg, this is a self-built system and win Xp was installed onto a fresh NTFS partition. Any ideas?

Argh! What a way to start a new year. XP

Ok, this gets weirder and weirder: I put both 256mb dimms in, and now it tells me a DIFFERENT .sys file is missing. When I only have 256 in, the computer just goes on a rebooting cycle. I don't have a windows floppy other than 98, so I can't access any of the info on my main drive, which is NTFS...

Argh! What a way to start a new year. XP

Now windows says that ntfs.sys is missing when I start up (this is after I removed one of my ram Dimms on a hunch). What does that mean? And why does the repair facility on the disk not let me enter in my password? Is there a default? Thanks

Argh! What a way to start a new year. XP

Hi all, and Happy 2002! Not so happy for me: I went to take a shower this morning after being on the computer for a couple of minutes, and when I got back WinXP Pro was on a BSOD, one of those new fancy ones with "Windows has been stopped blah blah blah and a 'dumping core memory'" message at...

Can't Decide: Win2K or WinXP

Go XP, just for all the purdiness. But actually, do check to see if all your peripherals are supported (most likely will be). In my opinion, it's always worth going with the latest, unless you're running a server or something. Good luck!
