I upgraded my ram to 196MB. I have removed all cards and run the PC without them and it still locks. Does anyone know what that error number means? Is it a resource clash? I can't see any conflicts in System. Thanks Guys

I have XP on this one machine, and because of mobo issuses I had to change from a Via KT133 chipset to an ALI chipset (Asus A7A266), as well as new case. When I plugged it all in and turned it on it started to load windows and then came up with a stop error 0x0000007b. I had my cpu voltage set...

I have a friend whos son formatted the hard drive of their computer while he was mid way through writing his report cards. Is there anyway to retrieve the data on the hdd. They are running win98, and he has already started writing back on the hard drive. Anything we can do? Tezza

OK, hang on for a story... this one was more complex than what I thought. Firstly I was running Geforce 2 MX400, I went into dxdiag, and Direct draw wasn't available. So I disabled direct3d and installed the Geforce 2 MX100/200. I then restarted and directdraw was available, so I re-enabled...

Thanks guys... I found out the problem though. Windows installed my Vid Card as a Geforce 2 400/400MX, so I tried using driver Geforce 2 100/200MX, it now it works. Sorry guys Tezza

Hey guys, I got XP installed on my sons computer, and now most of his games don't run. They start to go in, the screen flickers, and then it goes back to the desktop and he has to end the task. I know the games work on win 2k cos I tried them on my computer. The only thing I can think of...

Thanks Nate, I'll set that up and give it a shot then. Tezza

Thanks Nate, I'll have to go try. I don't spose you know what protocol is the best to use for a small home network between two computers. One is XP, the other 2000. Using a UTP cable. Thanks again Tezza

Nsidoni... I did notice quite a lot of heat in there, so I got an extra two fans... bringing total up to about 6 of them. I also went and got Win XP, and that seems to have fixed up all problems... so far :) Tezza

Thanks Smitee and Mosiac1, I updated to Win 2000 and that sorted out alot of problems... might try some of the things that you said as well... thanks guys. Tezza

Thanks for all your help Mosaic1, He has 2 sticks a 128MB stick and a 256MB stick or RAM. And I don't think it is the DVD drive, cos I tried running it off the other cd drive on his computer and it did the same thing. Also DMA is not set on the hard drive. He was looking to upgrade to...
