I was thinking it would be good if a thread was marked as having new posts if someone edited their post. For example I just edited one in the bug thread (since I had the last reply already |
 ), but without actually reading it every time there's no way to tell.

Aaargh! I Defragged E: and it went fine... Tried F:, went out to watch a movie and came back to a BSOD. E: is no longer formatted. |
 (F: seems fine from the quick scan I did.  ) Since I'm going to need to reinstall now anyway, I'm gonna try some experimenting with the install disc a bit (namely nLite and SP1/2 integration; I hear doing it that way works better than installing them manually) so I might not be around for a few days.I really do think there's something wrong with something, motherboard sounds like a good bet. If I can ever actually get a job I'm gonna buy a whole new system, but until then I'm stuck with this.  It still bugs me, though, because the 'problem level' seems to be too major for software problems (lots of weird stuff) but not enough for hardware problems (no random crashes, besides that defrag just now...). XP is pretty stable but it can't do much if the hardware isn't working; I'd think it would barely run at all.The possibility of problems from me hacking system files and cramming new programs and such in does exist, but it's not that significant. Actually modifying the system files is something I rarely do, and the hacks I do use are popular ones like enabling custom themes; if these caused huge problems I imagine a lot of people would know by now. The 'add-on' programs aren't anything that should be causing huge problems, the only one I even run all the time is the window menu (which wasn't running during defrag; I was in safe mode, not even the shell was running). An alternative to Explorer... dear God how I'd love to. I don't recall seeing a full-blown replacement though (mostly just skins and add-ons, or a few that lacked all but the most basic features.) Someday I need to get around to making my own... [edit] Well I added SP2 and removed some stuff with nLite, and it didn't blow up when I booted, yay. Many things wrong though. A zillion 'file not found' errors at startup, I can't install my video drivers (nothing like surfing at 640x480  ) and many of the tweaks didn't do anything.

So what, let me get this straight. |
Your 3.2ghz P4 is running at room temperature... And my 800mhz Celery is running at 40

Not when I'm developing and using programs that only work on XP. I'd really rather not, anyway. (And after re-tweaking and reinstalling, it's working... for now. Though there's still some bugs that appear on both this and the old install, which worries me...) |
[edit] So yeah. After reformatting, tweaking and reinstalling... the exact same bugs are still present, and some new ones because nLite sucks.  Isn't there some program that can test everything and figure out WTF is wrong?(edited by HyperHacker on 07-04-05 06:25 PM)

If you look at my "Something's gone very wrong" thread... I have an 800mhz Celeron and as you can see my computer's not running so well! I'm not really sure what the problem is (I suspect the motherboard) but I wouldn't be surprised if it did turn out to be the CPU. Keep that in mind. |
 Also, like Yiffy Kitten mentioned, Celerons are way slow. Clock speed alone doesn't determine how fast it will run.

Yep. The motherboard is my main suspect, and as such I've decided to buy a new one. |
 Only one question - how do I tell what kind of RAM I have? I don't have a whole lot to spend so I probably won't be able to buy more memory, so I need to know exactly what I have here (clock speed, type etc). According to HP I have PC100, 100mhz synchronous, 168-pin DIMM, SDRAM, 100 MHz, Intel PC SDRAM unbuffered DIMM specification, revision 1.0 compliant. I'm not quite sure what all that means though. I also have some spare memory sticks that this computer doesn't seem to like (won't start up, as hard as it tries) so if I could identify them it'd be good too.The first is clearly labelled: SD 168PIN PC133 128MB. The second only says: KTD-GXI/32 1936-002.A00 CE And the third: PC100-322-620 KMM366S424CRS-GL I'm not even sure those work, though, because I don't have a computer they're compatible with. (That, or they don't.  ) I'll check the ones in the computer sometime later, but, well, it's running right now. As for nLite, bah. I'm just gonna integrate SP2 and not remove anything, because nLite doesn't seem to be able to tell what I actually want removed (it deleted CALCULATOR) and what it does remove only makes things not work. [edit] What's everyone think of this? As best I can tell it meets my specifications; AGP, several PCI slots, good memory capactiy, and comes with a nice CPU.

I have a brother. 5 years younger than me and usually smells horrible. |

Is that allowed? I've seen people get yelled at for that on a few boards. |

An applet does take up a lot of resources though, especially with the fancy graphics. Plus, when you don't have Java installed it gives you plugin errors and when you do it opens a Java console. |

The hard drive doesn't have a whole lot to do with it (though when you get a faster hard drive you will really notice a difference). It's mostly about CPU usage, how many instructions it can do in a second. |

I'd have that Jedi mind trick thing, be able to fly and live in an absolutely beautiful place where it's always 20 |

Put your ad blocker on high and go to 2FlashGames... Not sure that's the right address but it'll keep you busy for quite some time. |

Well I like the sound of those, and apparently TigerDirect.ca has them too. |
(Newegg is one of those places that thinks only the US uses computers. ) Board and CPU. I might end up just buying something in town, though. (And just within my price range too, as opposed to having to borrow 30 bucks. Yay! )I'm not going to order just yet, though, for a few reasons (namely I don't have a bank account so I'd have to wait for my mom to get home to write a check ), so if anyone has anything to say, say it now. [edit] Order's in the mail.  I got some more birthday money so I splurged and got 512MB RAM. Now all I need's a video card. (edited by HyperHacker on 07-05-05 09:15 PM)

Reminds me of the time we bought some firecrackers and started setting them off on the road when nobody was around. All fun and games until we got to one with a really fast-burning fuse that almost blew up in my brother's hand. |
