    Freeware Partitioner?

    The one you have is probably Ranish. I've used it many, many times, and not had a single problem with it, yet. Ranish Partition Manager

    How do i get rid of Windows security alerts stuff?

    Doh! I hadn't even thought of clicking the balloon that pops up. I don't reboot very often, so I hadn't bothered looking for other ways of getting rid of it. Still, it's nice to know how to turn it off now. I use Kerio 2.1.5, as do quite a few people I know, and it's apparently not detected...

    How to install Java for AMD 64 on Mandrake 10 AMD 64

    Is the path to libXp.so.6 in /etc/ld.so.conf? You might try adding it if it's not, and running ldconfig.

    SPDIF and Computer to Receiver

    S/PDIF is the method for carrying the digital signal. The actual connector you plug in to is either optical TOSlink or a normal RCA jack. When playing DVDs (and other pre-encoded stuff), the DVD player software gives you the option of passing the pre-encoded 5.1 digital signal on to the...

    WinXP SP2 Boot screen???

    I think you're right. Apparently, the loading bar on the boot screen is now blue for all versions as well, rather than Home having a green bar. According to people who were using the betas, it looks like this happened around RC1.

    I agree. I went from an nf2 to nf3 with a very similar method, but this one looks even easier.

    Does anyone else who has Win2k3 hate XP Pro?

    I would say that it has to have more to do with the drivers or apps you're using with your XP install than it does with the OS itself. Frequent crashing and slowness isn't something that the vast majority of people encounter with XP.

    Avoiding a WinXP reinstall

    I would say that you may be able to use sysprep to accomplish what you want, but there are some things to think about first. http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/dpg/default.asp If the mass storage controller of the old board isn't identical to the new one, you'll most...

    Windows/IE/Notepad bug

    From a quick Googling, looks like this has been around for a long time. It has something to do with the word "notepad" being on the desktop that screws things up. I found posts about the folder issue you described, another issue where putting a shortcut to notepad on the desktop breaks "view...

    Problems w/ Optical Output on GTXP

    The only way you'll get surround through optical is if you have an nforce motherboard with SoundStorm. That's the only current audio chipset that does Dolby Digital encoding, unfortunately. I'm in the same boat with my nforce3 motherboard, which nvidia decided didn't need SoundStorm like the...

    Has anyone TRIED doom3 on Win 98se?

    Someone on another message board created a VBScript to remove the OS check from the installer. With that, it apparently installs and runs fine on 2003, but 9x is out of the question.
