same as above. I wanna try doing this so when I hit ctrl-alt-del to temporarily exit out of the full screen game, MapleStory, I can just choose to go to the task manager and avoid a blue screen of death. Hence I can have the game still run but do some other things on the computer when I have to. Thanks!

P.S It looks similar to this, but as an XP version.

for those who play ms i tried alt-tab…but that generally brings up the blue screen of death…but for some reason on another computer using the security box method I described it works fine every time.

I am trying to install Win Xp Professional but the installations progress stops and computer shutting down. It happens beginnig of installations progress (the blue background) where it says Windows setup is starting computer. What’s the problem?

Certain security software which build in in this PC (Win XP) found a computer connected in mine. Just want to ask an advice what I should do.. it’s been days..
And also how to prevent it again to network itself to mine.

Hi, after I reinstalled an ACER Aspire T180 I get the message ‘invalid system disk’. I do not have any disc etc in it. I rebooted it and pressed F12 and change to boot from HDD. Same message. If I open BIOS it says: IDE Channel 0 Master (my DVD-R), IDE Channel 0 Slave [None], IDE Channel 2 Master [my HDD] and IDE channel 3 Master [none]. Don’t know whether this is important. I tried to boot from CD but it just starts to install XP again. Can anybody help me please? I am desperate because I need my PC.

The system won’t boot after a blue screen that said something about the video adapter. I tried all the options under F8 when you boot and nothing will get into Windows. If I try just safe mode, it stops listing all the drivers its gonna load with something that says ‘mup.sys’ or something close to that, then it reboots. How do I get it to boot to Windows so I can try to update the driver? I’m pretty sure it’s a video driver for either the card or the monitor. Device manager had a question mark next to the display device right before it blue screened.

Would trying to put a different monitor help to get into Windows?

Thanks, any help would be appreciated, I need to fix this computer tonight.

I’m running windows XP and it’s always grouping programs eg “3 Microsoft Office files.” and all in the same taskbar thingo and i have to click on it and chose which one I want. I’d much rather have them all along the bottom of the screen in separate boxes. Help?

Trying to upgrade my Laptop from ME to XP home and having trouble with the TEAC CD-224e cd rom drive. Contacted Teac and they told me that there is no drivers necessary since Win 95 for IDE drives. Windows can’t install it without errors.

I have a PC that I bought from a local dealer who gets his hands on computers from schools and businesses. I just noticed that it doesn’t have an ethernet port. I have an older computer with Win 98 on it, and I was wondering if I could just remove it and install it on my newer PC. Will it pick it up automatically? Or will I have to find drivers for it?
The ethernet card came with the PC when I bought it like 7 years ago. I don’t even know how I would get the drivers for it.
