Weird graphics problem...

CorranH96

I have been having graphics problems with every game that uses 3D acceleration and now I'm having problems in Microsoft Word. Some pictures of Microsoft Word: Screenshot: If I don't close it within 5 to 10 seconds I'll get a video lockup (monitors goes black and the power light flashes on and off).

change standard fonts on windows console

Chris Lux

Kind of a silly question, but is there any way to get windowsXP to recognize different font options for the command prompt? When trying to choose another font on the font tab in the configuration only two show up.

Combining multiple wireless networks

darkbrady

Hello Everyone I have 2 neighbors that are willing to share their wireless internet conection. Will combining all 3 wireless networks to one machine increase bandwith? How would this even be setup? We want to be able to upload large files to remote clients.

They may not have disappeared, look in C:\Documents and settings\ and look for your old <user> folder for your files and emails. Remember to backup your files BEFORE attempting to repair or reinstall Windows.

CPU upgrade with WinXP

markv

I'm told that you can upgrade CPUs without reinstalling WinXP. Is there any procedure for this? Maybe uninstalling certain hardware before the upgrade and allowing WinXP to recognize the new CPU hardware? I couldn't find anything on microsofts site.
