I got happy way too fast yesterday, as soon as I changed a Winamp skin, the problem reappeared. Actually, it wasn't even a Winamp skin, but just the color of the skin: I use the skin called "Drone" and I changed from the theme called "Game: Post Nuclear RPG2" to "Contributed: Maggi - 05". And...

Since I usually avoid going into hardware issues on my own, I didn't disconnect the DVD yet, but instead I did something else. I googled "PAGE_DEFAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" and it said there could be a problem with the memory allocation. But I set the paging file to 8189 MB, which is more than...

Yes, of course. I tried at least 5 times in the past to install the official version(s) and it always told me something like "the procedure could not be located in the DLL library" or some other EYP (enjoy your program) message like that. Funny, right? :joycat: Like many other software out...

The GPU?? Damn! And I thought my problem was weird....! Are you 100% sure it was the GPU? If yes, why? I mean how could a GPU create such problems, since it should not interfere with the proper functioning of the browser....... should it.....?? I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'm just...

Firefox doesn't work for XP for a long time, that's why MyPal has been created. Just like Google Chrome doesn't work for XP since I don't remember when, the last version which worked was 49, if memory serves me right, that's why a group of developers created 360 Chrome, aka 360 Extreme Explorer...

No, I did not perform any of those steps. I haven't seen them before, and reading/browsing through them makes me think they are kinda complicated.... :frowning: Are you absolutely sure it's the DVD's fault? Because , like I said before, I also use the MyPal browser, which is more CPU-demanding...

Before disconnecting my ASUS DVD, I tried switching between AHCI and IDE in BIOS. I read that AHCI is better for newer hardware, so I went in BIOS and changed the IDE to AHCI, but then the desktop wouldn't appear anymore, it kept restarting and telling me stuff like "Windows did not start...

Yeah, I'm afraid that one of my CPU's cores might started to malfunction, or else why did I have the problem with only 3 cores being shown? Indeed, that problem is gone now, I see all 4 cores in task Manager and the speed is good, but could this core problem also occur in the future? I have not...

I have been using SATA 3 HDDs for more than 10 years and they never caused me any problems. So it's definitely not an incompatibility problem between SSD/SATA and Win XP. Stop blaming the WinXP, I used Win7 and 8 and 8.1 and 10 and they were all CRAP compared to XP. I will not, repeat: WILL NOT...

My PC has: CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 GPU: Sapphire HD 7790 RAM: 8GB Drives: Western Digital 500GB SATA 3 HDD and a Kingston 240GB SSD. I am still on Windows XP Professional x64 Service Pack 2 and thus I use the 360 Chrome Browser 13.0.2310.0, Chromium version 86 for navigating the internet...

I bought the card second-hand from a guy from another town, so I can't get tech support, unfortunately. That's why I try to seek for help here.

I received today the soundcard I bought, but the problem is that its black radiator is... off, so to speak. I mean it is not fixed on the card, or on the card's audio chip/processor, however it is called. Look at the photos: You can clearly see it has been on the card/chip before, but now...

Whenever using Creative sound cards, always go to Daniel K's blog and try to find his modded drivers for your card, that is, IF he made any for your model and for Windows 10 and/or 11. Here is the link: https://danielkawakami.blogspot.com/

Well thanks, I'll try doing that, although I am really not good at this. I already used some cotton and tried to clean the connectors and those dirty places, whatever they're called, and now I am waiting for the alcohol to dissipate, and then I'm gonna uninstall the drivers, put this card back...

I am still using Windows XP SP2, but please don't jump at my throat because of that. I don't intend to change my OS, and this card - the Xtreme Fidelity SB0790 worked splendidly for about... 2 years already, I think. I also use Daniel K's drivers, they are modded drivers which really turn this...
