Data recovery on fried HD

HawkBoy

I just lost a 30GB maxtor due to a power surge (along with my power supply, motherboard, and processor). I got one of the big recovery companies to take a look at it and they said it would cost about 700 USD.

CD-RW: Can browse folders, but not run any files

Ron_Jeremy

I have some files burned onto a CD-RW that cannot be accessed. I can browse & open folders without problem, but opening/running files within the folders is another story. I used Nero to burn, & was told that the burn was completed successfully.

After buying this game several days ago. . . right off the bat I was having problems with the game stuttering VERY BADLY at several points in the game. Some tracks were worse than others. I visited the EA forum and noticed that everyone else was having the same problem on different machines.

WinXP SP1 Problem

bbtak

I can't get Winxp SP1 to work smooth on my computer, everytime I close a window explorer, I have this delay, everything pauses for about 1 second, for example, when open windows explorer, browse around, close it and right click on something or click on the start button, it pauses for 1 second and then the menu pops up.

Hi guys, I sent an e-mail in Outlook 2000 and I tried recalling the e-mail but I never got anything back saying whether it was successful or not. I am sure I checked the option that will let me know whether the recall was successful or not.
