hi all,
well i ran into a big problem last night. i "think" that when i switched the power scheme to "always on" xp started to do just that and would not shut the puter off, ever. i would hit the turn computer off button and it would log off and reboot everytime. well, even when i changed it back, the puter still did the same thing. the only other nmajor thing i did was to disable system restore. but, i found that a better performance increase can be seen by switching that in the system performance tab and customizing the look of the os that way. well, after fooling around with it for hours last night i just said f-it and reinstalled the os( took me 1hr) i only had installed 4 proggies on it so....now it works fine, so it was definitely my doing(live and learn hehe) when i reinstalled this time i was never asked to "activate the software" ever.is this because it is XP Pro? also, is XP Pro going to be more buggy because it has all thos ex-tras? i think i'll just buy the xp home when it come s out(or maybe not ;-) anyway, i still can't figure out how to see how much of my ram is being used. i have another 256 in my shop that i'll throw in to total 512 and i'll see how that does.
let's keep the discussion going so we can share all the info/probs we have. should i start new posts when i find out new things or just keep this one going?
