Tony, I mentioned, that my computer would hang after the XP Pro logo screen, following the upgrade to XP SP2, regardless of going by CD or, by download from Microsoft's website and, installed.
If I couldn't re-install XP Pro, without formatting the drive, I would format the drive. Usually, I would just have to re-install without formatting. As for the PCI slots, I have: 1. Sound Card 2. Video Card 3. USB/Firewire Combo Card 4. NIC I despise on-board technology. Because if one thing goes wrong with the motherboard, then the motherboard basically needs to be replaced. Replacing a peripheral card is far cheaper than, having to replace a motherboard each time. The only Firewire connection is, on the outside of the combo card. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony B" <ton...@gmail.com> To: COMPUTERGUYS-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 9:29:20 PM GMT -07:00 US/Canada Mountain Subject: Re: [CGUYS] XP Pro problems You forgot to tell us what the problem is. Or what you've already tried to do to fix it. BTW, You don't need too many PCI slots any longer. I have two and one has firewire. What do you need your other five for? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
