T-bird 1.4 overheating

Dredd

I just recently purchased a 1. 4 GHz T-bird on a Abit KG7. I put thermal paste and a Dragon Orb 3 on the CPU. After getting the system all up and running, ran it for 6 hours and it crashed hard. Now I can get it to post, but no OS will run on it.

Phantom File problems

DecoyDuck

This is a damn strange one. I've just jumped ship from 2k to XP Pro and generally I've had no problems. Except for this one. I have, what would appear to be, a lovely phantom file (vspubapi. dll. A part of ZoneAlarm), that I cannot delete, move or rename.

Help: mouse doesn't work in WinXP

bluedha

I just upgraded from Win2k to WinXP. But ever since the installation, the mouse refuses to work. No movement, no buttons work, nothing. When I had this problem in Win2k, fiddling with via 4in1 drivers fixed the problem.

To Turn Off Or Not Turn Off Services

There were the beginnings of a decent discussion about this last week but it became a kind of personal vendetta between some folks. It got me to thinking though and as I just redid my system I thought I would share my results.

Hi, I'm currently testing Windows XP Professional, and this OS seems to be great. However, I didn't find how to authorize non-administrator users to remotely connect to the XP server using Terminal services & RDP.
