Their is a HUGE flaw in Windows XP that allows any website or email to erase your files. The patch in Service Pack 1 fixes this problem, but alot of dial up users who use Windows XP might not want to sit there for hours on end. The quick solution? Rename file: uplddrvinfo. Here is the procedure:
•   Do a search for the file name uplddrvinfo in your search and find section in Windows XP
•   Now the file should be located here: WINDOWSPCHEALTHHELPCTRSystemDFS
•   Rename the .html file uplddrvinfo to anything you want or even delete it
This should prevent any major attacks on your computer that you don't realize has happened. For some reason when clicking on a link or opening up a HTML email with the appropriate coding could erase any directory or files the hacker wants.

Hope this helps the thousands who don't want to download the service pack 1 from Windows considering the size and alot of users still on dial-up.

When you defrag your hardrive first turn off your virtual memory. reboot then defrag. When it's done turn your virtual memory back on that will put it at the end of your hard drive.(virtual memory is not moved when you defrag nor is it defraged. more on that later.)

By doing this Windows also thinks that you have an officially activated product. But I wouldn't know anything about it.

It's funny the amount of money they spend to fight pirating, and it only stops thhem for what? 5 minutes? Better to restructure the pricing and find a way to work WITH the customer instead of penalizing them. But then, they do make a BUTTLOAD of cash from the legal users as it is.

"Most programs store their configuration data in the registry. Over time, as programs are installed and uninstalled, the registry becomes fragmented. Also, when data is removed from the registry it's space is not reclaimed until more data overwrites the empty space. This has a significant impact on the performance of Windows and programs that make heavy use of the registry. It is most evident at boot time and when running programs that use lots of COM classes (such as Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, any programs written in Visual Basic, and lots of commercial software). Whenever you install software data is written to the registry so the software can later be uninstalled.

What RegCompact Does
RegCompact eliminates registry fragmentation by writing the data in the registry out into a temporary file. This data is written sequentially, so there are no holes from deleted data or fragmentation. RegCompact then reboots the system, and the compacted registry hives are replaced when the system starts up."

Found this at megagames......Description
So far the release of graphics chips has centered around their ability to support various features of DirectX. In the past both leading graphics companies had, at some time or another the edge over their rival. It is now becoming apparent that, for the first time in quite a while, DirectX 9.1, expected around Spring 2003, will offer features which will not be supported by the latest offerings by ATI and nVidia.

The main feature of DirectX which has prompted much of the competition between the two graphics companies, has been their products' support for versions of Pixel Shader, part of DirectX's Application Programming Interface.
It was nVidia who first used the release of Pixel Shader 1.1 to their advantage when ATI's new card, at the time, the RADEON 7200 supported only version 1.0.
The same thing happened to nVidia when DirectX 8.1 was released carrying support for Pixel Shader 1.4. Its release meant that the GeForce 3 offered support for DirectX 8.0 but not 8.1.

In order to better understand what will happen with DirectX 9 you have to consider that both the RADEON 9700 Pro and NV30, are called DirectX 9.1 hardware. Their support however, will extend only as far as Pixel Shader 2.0, while Microsoft's DirectX 9.1 will feature Pixel Shader 3.0. The upcoming R350 and NV35, from ATI and nVidia respectively, expected to appear in spring 2003, will most probably not carry Pixel Shader 3.0 support. So when the bug fixing DirectX 9.1 is released both manufacturers will find their offerings supporting DX 9.1 but not quite.

The logic behind releasing new versions of Pixel Shader before they are fully supported by hardware is a sound one. It allows programmers time to get accustomed to the new model, theoretically, increasesing the rate at which that model is utilised. So for all of us that should result in better looking games.

With regard to the / showing up at the end of the links...

Use the Hyperlink button to add links, instead of just typing them. That is where the error is coming from, just typing them in.
