    windows media player won't play, CPU at 99%!

    Happy ending. Removing, then reinstalling the video drivers didn't fix it. Updating DirectX didn't work (had the latest 9.0c), and it wouldn't update. Found that Nvidia had released another driver (81.94 to 81.95). Installed that and Presto! Thanks for all the help. It's good to be...

    windows media player won't play, CPU at 99%!

    Thanks RKS. Just tried it, but no go. Same thing (no play, 99% CPU usage). None of my media players will work. Even trying to watch video clips in Internet Explorer will lock the machine up. Dxdiag doesn't come back with any errors. My games run fine. JPEGs are fine. No other probs on...

    windows media player won't play, CPU at 99%!

    Can't play MPEGs using any media players! WMP10, Quicktime, Nero, etc. CPU usage skyrockets to 99%, and WMP just reads "Connecting." Have done a lot of changes recently, but don't know exactly when it would have quit working. Flashed BIOS, replaced video card (and drivers), added RAM...

    I have an old DOS program that won't run in XP without some environment tweaking. I get a run-time error R6009 (not enough space for environment). I had it fixed once by altering something in either the command line (in the shortcut), or changing something in the CONFIG.NT file or other. I...

    Hi all. Whenever I restart the computer (or put it in "Sleep" mode), the Temporary Internet Files folder gets emptied, and I lose all my cookies. I can open/close Internet Explorer all day, and the files are fine. I made sure that the "Empty Temporary Files Folder when browser is closed"...

    I'd like to add some custom made buttons to the Internet Explorer toolbar (in addition to the standard buttons like "home, favorites, print, etc."). Win XP Home, IE 6. Like perhaps one for "New Window." Any ideas? Thanks, R2

    I'm replacing my current HDD. I want to reinstall WinXP Home (full OEM) fresh install. What do i need to do to "reactivate" my current registration once I've reloaded windows? I know you've probably answered this a thousand times, but a search didn't turn up anything for me. Thanks, R2

    Thanks '2183. I've owned several Denon products (even a stereo turntable from the stone age!), and have been happy with all of them. Looks like this DVD is right up my alley. Thanks, R2

    need advice on digital camera

    The Sony has a little better low light focusing (like indoors), and the Canon has a little better color fidelity. If size isn't an issue, the Canon A70 has the most bang for the buck. http://www.steves-digicams.com/2003_reviews/a70.html R2

    Any software that'll image Windows 3.1 to another hard disk.

    Try MaxBlast from the Maxtor website. It should be able to mirror your drive. It's free.

    Newegg advertising in PC Magazine

    MaximumPC lists that CPU at $159. Their website still lists it at $194. The ad is not a typo however. This is done intentionally by their marketing people to exponentially increase the number of hits on their website. It's a common "hook" used in advertising, and of course is completely...

    Opinions: Best Upgrades you've made in 2002

    * Forgot to mention the AOpen Optical Mouse. 4 buttons and 2 wheels (I use it at work, so I don't know how it is for gaming though). I actually like it a bit more than my MS Intellimouse Explorer at home (better 4th button placement). Best thing? Only $13.
