    WindowsXP Pro Black edition and missing user account files.

    Didn't work. It did the same thing, only this time instead of having to manually log into "Janet" I had to manually log in to the new "Admin" account I made. It just seems like there is something missing between the splash screen and the log in screen. I have no way of knowing what file is...

    WindowsXP Pro Black edition and missing user account files.

    Just create a new one, add the copied folders and call it admin?

    WindowsXP Pro Black edition and missing user account files.

    I built a computer for my mother a few years ago, and used Windows Pro Black edition for her OS. It's been fine, have had no problems until she somehow deleted some detrimental user account files. The only user account that was enabled at the time was the admin account, which is the one she...

    My PC freezes randomly, no error mesages-nothing.

    You could do that. You could also go to memtest86.com and run their test. Try those and let us know if it turns out to be the RAM or if there's something else.

    My PC freezes randomly, no error mesages-nothing.

    Does it lock up all at once, or does it do the program not responding thing systematically until nothing will work?

    Help me nail down this problem please...

    I could definitely stick with SP2, if I could just get back into XP at all. But will my computer even recognize a Linux-based bootable CD if I have only have windows on the HD? This may sound like a dumb question, but I have no clue about anything Linux..

    Help me nail down this problem please...

    I should have ran memtest, but now I can't even get into an operating system to do it. I have set everything in bios back to default, nothing is overclocked anymore, I even reset the cmos battery. As far as MS SP3 blacklisting this board, this might be it. However, I don't have a few hundred...

    Yep, the audio is enabled in bios. Thanks! My video card is a evga 7900gt. I have had this video card and mobo configured together before with no problems with sound though. I have reinstalled the audio drivers, and my WMP has been reinstalled and updated already. Should I roll back? I...

    No sound after clean xp install. (realtek AC97)

    Hey guys, I just did a clean install of xp pro on a new HD. I installed the drivers for the mobo, and did all the updates for xp, and I am on sp3. Everything is working fine, except I have no sound. The computer thinks it's making sounds, the device manager shows all devices working...
