Evan though you have a dedicated graphics card, did you disable the on board graphics chip? It could very well be using that extra 512 mb, defanitly gigabyte boards.

Just some random stuff i threw together in a cheap raidmax case, had to paint the inside, i didn't like the bare metal. uh, specs are Phenom II 965 BE @ 3.4, Stock cooler for now. i did clean off the stock paste and use Artic silver. 4 GB @ 1600 Radeon 4830, i only play street fighter 4, i don't really need anything better. 750 raidmax psu. 128 gb SSD < love this thing and a 320 gb Western Digital. Edit : I almost forgot, os is Windows 7 64 bit

Happened to me too, until i found the perfectness that is street fighter 4 haha My sig explains it all, i can't wait for super street fighter 4, but then i have to buy a console :/ i rely don't want to though.

Well... Since i moved to native C++ it's just been a fun ride making apps... Figured ide ask here if anyone know's any good DX books? I made a form... Extended the glass .. now i want to add a DX component.. Straight from the Main.cpp #include <windows.h> #include <dwmapi.h> #pragma comment(lib,"dwmapi") bool Running = true; LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT Msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch (Msg) { case WM_DESTROY: //End(); //Running = false; PostQuitMessage(0); break; } return DefWindowProc(hWnd, Msg, wParam, lParam); } int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd) { WNDCLASSEX wc; MSG Msg; HWND hWnd; wc.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX); wc.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW; wc.lpfnWndProc = (WNDPROC)WndProc; wc.cbClsExtra = 0; wc.cbWndExtra = 0; wc.hInstance = hInstance; wc.hIcon = 0; wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW); wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(RGB(0,0,0)); wc.lpszMenuName = NULL; wc.lpszClassName = "CTmain"; wc.hIconSm = 0; RegisterClassEx(&wc); hWnd = CreateWindow("CTmain", "DX Test", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 720, 400, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL); if (!hWnd) { return 0; } ShowWindow(hWnd, nShowCmd); UpdateWindow(hWnd); MARGINS mar = {0}; mar.cyBottomHeight = -1; DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea ( hWnd, &mar ); ZeroMemory(&Msg, sizeof(Msg)); while (Running == true) { if (PeekMessage(&Msg, hWnd, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)) { TranslateMessage(&Msg); DispatchMessage(&Msg); } else { } } return 0; } Just messing around.. Any thaughts?

Firefox is ok, i used it back when it was version 1 i'm an opera fanboy now

do you know if the gfx card is capable of running aero?

XP live is like a linux live CD Launches windows form a CD

your going to have to remove the old driver and install a new one, but i'm sure you knew that. your going to need a xp live cd for this. This is a very complicated job, the only other thing is to reinstall windows. and i'm not going to take 45+ minutes explaining if your not going to do it. just tell me if you want to do it and i'll link and explain how.

Oh shit, glad that waset me

well cool, Glad to have helped. just remember hijackthis is your friend

Not a problem, if i evan helped at all What finaly did it?

Every little bit helps, i say do it remove all the spyware that you can. What antivirus do you have? also have you tryed spybot search and destroy?

yes aim hacks, Viewpoint is an Ad manager for aim, it downloads random adds and some are infected with malware, spyware ect evan if you don't have aim you can still get viewpoint. also realplayer has a simular ad manager, you may want to think about getting a different media player.

Well any good virus infects the system restore aswell, but ive figured it out allready. It's the viewpoint service. Download the fix here pick your version and download it, run it and check remove and block viewpoint media player

i dought a system restore would do it. find a good antivirus that does boot time scans.

Bingo O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSServer] "rundll32.exe" C:\Windows\system32\opnmLcba.dll,#1 That's the one. I'll look up how to remove it later, i'm tired...

do this, Download hijackthis, Here Run it, Click i agree Click the "Do a system scan and save a logfile" button. copy then paste the logfile here.

My desktop has battery settings aswell. not sure why, but it does.

Ohhhh, You run the memory test outside of windows, drop it on a bootable cd, usb key, floppy(hope not) And run it before windows has started. ---------------------------------------edit----------------------------- here's a link to a tutorial on how to use memtest86 http://www.cpusolutions.com/mm8004744CPU/H...s/memtest86.htm

Well Hrmmm .... That error has to do with networking. Try upping the latency on the ram, or underclocking it and see, i think it's the ram but we will have to see, you never told me if you ran the memory test.

Hrmm, is there anything in the event log? And did you run that memory test?

Wow that was funny (Tear) .. Allmost Still funny though

That just might work lol

Well all i can tell is, either disable the screensaver or get one not made by microsoft. all my finding say microsoft screensavers are the cause, any screensaver not made by microsoft should be fine
