    AVI File sizes in XP - working with >4Gig

    Do you use Pinnacle software? I don't know if it handles files as big as 4 gigs but I've manipulated files as large as 2-3 gigs with it. If you're doing a lot of video work that's a good software package to have. What are you trying to do to the video file, if I may ask?

    strange xp booting hang - geforce2mx driver related ??

    I'll take a guess that it's the drivers, but it's a fairly experienced guess. I had loads of trouble trying to find the correct Radeon driver for a workstation a while ago. I finally got it, but the system would hang every time just as Windows was supposed to start. That was using the...

    "Class Not Found" error in Windows Media Player

    I get this error everytime I try to use the radio tuner in MP to play a radio station without going to their website. There is an option to play, and sometimes an option to go to the website and play it depends on how the station has its audio set up. If I choose to play trom the media player, I...

    Media player will not play.

    VCD doesn't really use a codec, the DAT file is a form of mpeg1 used in VCD's. If the file is on your hard drive, then just add ".mpg" to the name (WantaWatchThisMovie.dat.mpg) and it should play. You'll also want to install the Divx Codec as media player will not download them...

    cant change any settings ie homepage etc

    I don't know if this is what happened, but I guess the registry could become locked for no reason. Someone could have messed with the registry I suppose. Here is a page with the settings that cause the lock-up and an unlock key for it. It's worth a shot...

    How is Windows XP?

    I have been using XP for about 5-6 months and I love it. It's not perfect but it's the best thing that Microsoft has come out with yet. One drawback is as someone else noted; You will have to defrag the machine more often, but this probably will not be a problem unless your users are moving...

    default theme

    I'm still not sure I understand the question, but it sounds like you want to maybe change the wallpaper on the default theme? The background wallpaper is accessible under right-click desktop, properties, background. If you hit customize desktop at that same property menu you can change the...

    default theme

    Download Architect is a handy way to control themes under XP. It has the same interface style as the old Plus! for ME did. It's freeware, and I didn't see downloads for it many places, but this links seems to work: http://aolaustralia.com.com/3000-2326-5630015.html?legacy=cnet

    Dual booting two copies of XP Pro on same workstation

    Okay, thanks. I'm prepared to reinstall. But I've experienced this before as well. I would like to know how to fix this problem if it happens again. What I changed the boot.ini file to is this: multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Old install&quot...

    Dual booting two copies of XP Pro on same workstation

    I am having trouble with a new install of Windows XP Pro. I had some corrupt files in my old installation, which I have on hardrive G of my computer. This prevented me from booting Windows XP, and for various reasons I won't go into I was forced to do a new install of XP on my C drive. Well, my...
