[WinXPpro] AVI files crashing explorer.exe

I think you folks have been a valuable help! I installed AVIcodec and it enlightened me as to several files are no longer supported. Seems that the required codec was missing from ALL of my PC's. While I had no trouble playing AVI files using the 4.x Dixv codecs, some of them were done in 5.x as...

Looking for Screen Capture software.

Morning All, I am looking for an application that will allow me to take a screen capture of my desktop with a software DVD player paused on a particular scene, and not reduce the resolution of the paused image. I have been using WinDVD and PowerDVD, but their internal image-capture features...

Screen Captures

WinDVD 4, but the captures from it and PowerDVD just suck.

Replacing old P2-400 with a Celeron

Sorry, my apologies. I keep forgetting that when I say 'upgrade' I mean upgrade my household with a new PC. Crazy, huh? First, the current power supply will not feed any of today's ATX/P4 motherboards as its missing the aux power connector. Second, I could scavenge the DVD-ROM drive (albeit its...

Replacing old P2-400 with a Celeron

Yeah, but I'd think the bottlenexk wouldn't be worth it. Really, if I can keep around $500 or so I'd be happy. CPU Mobo RAM Video M-Audio Case w/PWS

Replacing old P2-400 with a Celeron

Its a VT6X4 that Abit terminated in their BIOS development rather early. I think the fastest processor you can get for it is < 1GHz. I should have said (my bad) I am sticking with Interl chipsets and processors.

Replacing old P2-400 with a Celeron

Morning All, I am looking to update a secondary PC in my home. This is not a primary-use PC and as such I am not looking for stellar performance. I am a little curious, though, regarding the current state of Celeron processor performance compared to my dated Perntium 2 400-MHz (non-Celeron)...
