this might be silly, so sorry if it is. But did you overwrite the right profile? When I recently did a similar move, i found a bunch of similar looking directories. So I just kept dumping the files into them till it worked. (I know, its not a brainie idea :) )
Turn off computer! Oh god, it seems so obvious now!
haha.
thanks for the replies, I will prolly go with the more thorough approach, an extra 10 minutes doesn't hurt me much, ya know?

I've done lots of upgrades to computers over the years but somehow I have never done a video card upgrade without a clean install. So I am unsure of the protocol. Eeek.
I have...
vista home premium 64bit
geforce 7900gs
and I want to stick the new 8800gts in there. Is it as easy as...
I just put together a new system, a q6600 G0 and a gigabyte p35-ds4 rev 2.0
I am having lots of weird issues. First, it was underclocked. At desktop, it was running at 1.6gHz which I believe was speedstep. The mobo manual said to turn speedstep off but there was no option for it. And even...
More detailed system specs might help people better diagnose the issue.
I had an issue awhile ago when I went from onboard audio to an add in card. When I disabled the on board in the bios, all of the audio would be disabled in windows. Are you absolutely sure you need to disable your...
I saw a similar thread about this on steampowered.com a couple weeks ago. The posts were light on what is actually done to cause this but it was said that the [-Q-] clan was responsible for the hijackings. I believe the problem is self correcting, but I couldn't tell you a time frame. Perhaps...
I don't know if this will help you or not but I know for a fact that steam and some AV packages have serious issues. Sometimes steam and avg on my machine clash, and steam snags 99% cpu. It was documented in a forum post somewhere sometime (haha, sorry so vague but on steampowered.com) but I...
I'm using it for my system, I'd keep using it for the rest of time if I could but... lots of games these days are coded to not work in win2k. Sadness. I like to play games, MS is a big meanie...

I'd like to thank all the peeps who delivered suggestions and advice. That 7900gs and x1900gt both look nice but I am worried about the 'warranty' of such. While I plan to only use the card for a short time, I do have another home lined up for it. A home that is very non-techie and poor-ish...
I dont think any crysis will be partakin'. Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll look into some reviews and benchmarks.
thanks everyone, if anyone else still has some ideas, I'll love to hear them!

Thanks for the link! I'll look into it.
I forgot to mention it, but the card needs to be better than a 6600gt. I'd assume they are but I know so little about any video card below the 8800series.
Hello peoples!
So I had my sights set on this beautiful new nvidia card and was all set to be wow'd by its awesomeness and then have a kegger... oh wait. Um, new nvidia card, special edition. Heart is throbbing for it but it's 'backordered'. So my new rig is now without a vid card (old...
Ha, that's a great idea. Funny how some things escape your thoughts/decisions. If the sound sucks, just get a new card. (no sarcasm here, sorry it sounds that way) Awesome! :) All my drives will be Sata this time around, so no worries there. My speaker setup now is quite funny, atleast I...
