Solved. I ran TestDisk and corrected the problem. Seems there was some messed up entries. Everything is fine now.

Hi, I ran into an odd situation, where Xp diskmanager reports 200Gb storage than actually available. I have 2 unused partitions, where in going to install Kubuntu (the first 46,57GB and the 2,26GB) All the actual partitions are the named partitions (3x 48,83 and 1x 102,77) However, there are...

Problem solved. It turned out that my ISP have changed their network setup, so they bind the IP with the MAC. This means I either have to call them to reset it, or wait about an hour for the system to reset. Even with static IP address, I never had that problem before, as it was kind of a...

Due to some game specifics, I have to remove my D-Link DI-524UP router/switch when i play the game. This have never been a problem before, but today I find, that the machine is not renewing any network information, when its not connected to the router. When the router is connected, everything...

It seems that you were able to guess the true meaning of my post. Although it has nothing to do with my problem. If you actually read the rest of my post, you will find, that I already have tried with the Nvidia driver. Still no luck.

Hi, I have been setting up a new system, but ran into problems. Here is the basic setup. Xp sp3 fully updated. Leadtek 260GTX Extreme+ graphics card. Gigabyte motherboard. When xp starts im informed that it has noted a new 3d graphics card. However, when i run the Leadtek driver software...

Thanks for your answer. It seems to be a thing that happened after i installed the ATI card and catalyst control center. I was just wondering it, there was a trick to force a program to obey windows, after all - xp is the OS and should control the events. Anyway, it seems that if i Alt+Tap...

Hi, I have a problem cycling through active programs using the Alt+Tap shortcut, when I'm playing games. The shortcut works between normal windows (browser ect.), but just flicker the screen when i try from within a game. I have also tried windowskey+d and a few other combinations, but the...

# ETperth Seems my HT problem was purely a defect CPU. I just ran the system with a 2.8 Ghz NW and had no problem whatsoever, including Hyper Threading. Now i will have to fight the shop for a new CPU. Jan

#Endyen "Stability is the only true temp test." The truth in a few words. I have not fixed my HT problem yet, but i have not really had the time. I run it without, which is fine for the aps i use at the moment. Hopefully i can borrow some hardware this weekend and try a few swaps, i also plan...

Hi, My prescott seems to run at normal temp, which I understand is 40c to 50C. I must say i have a Zalman CNPS7000 A/CU cooler on it, but it ran about the same with retail cooler, maybe slightly hotter. Your temp seems a little high, but maybe you live in the Sahara ;-) Anyway, if your box dont...

Hi, I can suggest testing your TI 4200. I have a few problems myself and looking around various tech forums (fora ?) i have noticed quite a few people have problems with the TI series. It seem to wear down within a year. If i understand the problem right, it has something to do with the TI 4200...

Hi, Yes i have the latest BIOS. I will try to get a bigger PSU and have a go with it. But 380 W really should be ok. Jan

#cybercraig "When you enable hyperthreading with DC memory in XP-Pro you should see 2 CPU's running at 1.5ghz. 2 X 1.5 = 3ghz. Probably nothing wrong at all." Dont know where you read that, but if you are running your system like that, you are down ½ speed. HT should show up are TWO processors...

I was only joking ! I dont need to return the processor, there is nothing wrong with it. Its something in my setup which stops the HT. I need to find out what ! Just seemed the right thing to reply to a guy, who came up with #2 to solve my problem. I will have the same problem with HT in Northwood.
