The mother said it best... "if we wouldve had more control, this wouldnt have happened."

Final update*** Problem solved! A very blonde lady friend showed my just how smart she can truly be, "Isnt the MSI thing a program? Cant you like reload it?" HA! I figured what the heck, as I was going to reinstall the OS so it was worth a try. I D/l 'ed and installed the Windows...

ahhhhh...i think that very well may have been the problem! the [H]ard|Gawds have spoken. Thanks for everything, im just gonna bite my lip and reinstall the OS. Its been a very long time since ive done that for that particular system. its mainly used for music and movies in the living room so...

Update*** I tried to disable the Windows Installer service and that seemed to have no effect whatsoever thank you, i think thats what is going to have to happen. I cant seem to find any other solution. Something in Windows is telling the MSI Installer to launch when you open an app and i...

Update*** I ran the ccleaner and it actually stopped the MSI Installer from running when you launch non MS programs, now however it still runs when you launch any MS related programs. In the event viewer the first error / notification it shows is that its seaching for an OSXL10 or MSXL10 file...

The changes that i was dissatisfied with were the new security features. I shouldve phrased it a bit more detailed i suppose, but more specifically, when i ran sp3 for a while i noticed that my settings for my pc / ps3 media center setup had changed somehow and i couldnt get it to work again...

Yes! exactly that. Whenever I launch a prog. it runs the windows installer just for an instant and then closes. I've never come across this kind of issue before.

I did a few searches and didnt come up with anything useable, so here goes...I recently updated to XP SP3 and wasnt satisfied with the changes. Next, i used System Restore to revert back to the point before installing SP3. Now, everytime I launch an spplication Windows starts the Microsoft...

Thank you Javelin, much appreciated ;)

I wonder if Im having trouble with the root hub itself. Can anyone tell me which devices/hubs should be listed under USB Controllers list in the Device Manager? Its possible that maybe a driver is missing. Although, I did reinstall the Nforce3 unified driver set. I dont know if that helped...

Ive checked the bios and have the latest vers., the Bios settings show as enables support, and as far as the connector goes, its hooked up according to the manual / pin indication on the connector itself. I cant find any logical reason why this is happening. Im guessing it must be a software...

Anyone have any useful suggestions for this particular dilemma Im having: I recently installed a new board in place of my other, which included a new install of WinXP SP2. I've installed the latest drivers for the Nforce 3 chipset and the USB connections are hooked up per the directions in...

Is the drive you are trying to boot with marked as "Active" in the Disk Management tools? (Goto Administrative tools>Computer Management>Storage>Disk Management tools) If not, make it "active" then you should be able to boot right into windows without the setup cd. This one got me a while...

Are you sure you have your BIOS configured correctly? Because if you do, then that eliminates your BIOS configuration as a possibility and that leaves Windows as a possible culprit. --t3k

Quality of RAM can play a significant role in OCing if you want every possible MHz out of your setup! --t3k

the storagereview.com article is very useful in indicating which drive is for which purpose. The Raptor 150 has almost 2x the operating life than the Raptor X!

very true. Sorry i didnt mean to convey that I was "downplaying" your particular hardware suggestion. All my suggestion was, for all intents and purposes, to offer headroom for upgradeability. Considering that current and emerging drives matched with proper system setups are only bursting...

***UPDATE Hmm well this activity proved to be not so easy. I attempted to install Ghost 10( I already had NIS2005 installed) and install seemed to go okay. When I was prompted to restart the system, Windows errored and rebooted itself, nice. Upon the restart, when you should see the...

Nod32 and Zonealarm sound like promising alternatives! Anything else to suggest? Also, I found an app at symantec.com that forces the complete removal of Symantec products. It pulled everything off with a breeze. Now I just need to work on an alternative and take the "Evil" back to the...

Okay so I did some further research and have concluded that its possible my NIS may be compromised by a virus and thus isnt letting it uninstall / reinstall. How can I find this possible virus because my NIS/NAV whatever is now crippled and not working? I can run everything else seemingly fine...

This is the strangest thing! I had trouble with this for about a day or so, then I decided to seek some higher knowlege (aka [H] ). Anyways, what is the cause for this? Is it known? Im sure there are many 6800 gt / gtoc owners out there who are experiencing this right now. Perhaps a sticky...
