    seems i cant seem to escape from these weird PC problems... so a friend of mine and i were almost done reinstalling windows xp on his laptop. the only things left to do were to get a few drivers so his sound/ethernet/SD card reader would work. we couldnt find the drivers on the manufacturer's website (only because he INSISTED i install 64-bit xp). so i tried MS update. sure enough the drivers were there, but the downloads never started. the Background Intelligent Transfer Service was set to manual, but would not start. this is a clean install of windows we're working with, and theres no reason BITS shouldnt be able to start...all dependencies are running, all necessary d…

    Hello all! I got a little problem. I have this desktop machine, and my CD/DVD drive is a USB one. I can see it and the harddisks in BIOS options, but when I try to boot into system, or try to boot from an XP CD (which I has tested on another computer, and it worked well) and I have tried with another older XP cd. Every time I try to boot from an XP CD it says that I should reboot my system and connect a right bootable device. When I try to boot from harddisk which already has XP installed on it, it says that some nddr thing is missing and that I shouls press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot. I thought it was my motherboard because sometimes my computer was turning off, so I bought …

    I've recently got a problem which i don't know what causes it. I need help! ... As you can see above, for some reason my service names are corrupted! Turkish characters are causing trouble with them. At first i though it was something related to fonts, but as you can see some of the services with Turkish characters are corrupt while the rest are OK! Then i thought maybe it's something due to service.msc file. I've tried replacing it with an untouched one but... Still the same. Then i tried listing the services from command line and saw they are the same there. It's like they're getting corrupted whilst they are being registered. But, this is not only services related. Af…

    I just created shortcuts to some games in the more programs section of media center. Since then I have changed all the icons to better quality ones, but media center still shows the old icons. I've tried deleting the shortcuts and adding them again but it still doesn't work. It's probably just some .db cache file i need to delete somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Palmtree

    Hello, I am in search of some advice regarding modifications to my context menu. With my last install, I used Kel's "Uber Pack" addon which gave me a host of new context menu options in something labeled "power menu". It seems that the power menu is part of an app called MMM. I began to experiment with the MMM app and now I have lost the two most useful context menu addition, "copy to" and "move to". To be more clear, Kel's 'Uber Pack" created "copy to" and "send to" in the context menu when I right clicked any sort of file or folder. I still have the options when I right click folders, but I have lost the options when I right click on .exe or anything other than a folde…

    Hi everybody, Ive looked all over for a solution to this problem and have tried everything Ive found but nothing works. I have a laptop that runs XP, and I have 2 large external HDD and a few USB drives. Im interested in making each HDD (Internal, Large external, and USB) have there own icon. Now I know some of you are like "thats so easy, what a n00b" but I have tried everything and nothing works. First I tried AUTORUN.inf for the external drives which had no affect, then looked to modify the registry (the whole DriveIcon\Default\C thing) and had no luck there. Then I read that If you delete the Iconcache it will rebuild itself at the next bootup and the new icons will s…
