ok i will try this at the weekend when i have backed up what i need...

Ahh good idea i will try the diagnostic tools and see what it throws up....

Ha are you stalking me or what...? I did a chkdsk on c drive and it found some bad clusters that it moved.. i don't know exactly what as it went too quick and i cant find a log anywhere. I will try that....

Ok this is a weired one, i have installed WinXP Pro Corp, and everytime it boots it gives me the option for 1 Windows Xp Professional 2 Windows Recovery Console If i choose 1. I get this message or something similar. root/system32/hal.dll missing or corrupt so i re-install that dll from another xp cd but still same problem, so i install XP Media Center and still same problem. I fdisk drive then format and still same problem, so i install duel os and still same problem. Unless i have a bootable CD/DVD in the DVD Tray and i choose to boot from HD then i don't get this problem...? This is twisting my melon.. anyone got any ideas please...?

Are there any utils that will auto tweak my pc for better performance...? as i'm no good at manually altering things i usually end up crashing my PC...? Sys Spec Win XP Pro Radeon 64 AIW 9000 1.5 gig 333 DDR Abit NF7 Mobo

Does it try to make games run..? if so where do i get it from..? Thanx

Cool i may try it myself... i have dosBox but some of the games are win games...

Hey jmmijo it certainly is me..

Hi i was wondering if anyone knew how to speed old games up. I have Need for speed 2 SE and it runs on XP (With Compatability) but at a very low frame rate. This is the same for some other games i have.. TIA
