To diable those Pop-Up Messages:
go to Start > Run, and type services.msc, look down the list for Messenger, and change it from automatic to Disabled, this will stop those pop-ups witout additional software so you won't have to use extra cpu time while playing your games!

I had problems with XP. When I tried to install my soundblaster after a clean installation of XP, it crashed. After another clean installation I could install all drivers etc, but after a while it keep on crashing so I installed 98se again. 1 day I got myself a new Case and put the mainboard into the new case (after cleaning all hardware from dust). I forgot to put in 1 DDR Module, and installed a clean XP without any probs (with drivers and all). When I took a look at my RAM within XP I found out I just had 256 and not 512MB.
I put the other RAM module back into the pc, and booted,it had a crash amediately.

I had 2 different Brands of RAM moduls in it which were having probs with XP.

My tip: make sure ur Hardware isn't giving the probs.

ok i upgraded and my sound blaster live! vol it did not work ether i gone to my pc MFG (Gateway) got a new (really a old one for Xp) and instill it in the driver it work again i updated the software part of it from sound blaster web-site it was a combo job with a drivers fr; gateway and software from; Creative its working 100% good.

Windows Xp Pro (OEM) HD-NTFS only

[Hellfighter]

do you know how to get your Wndows Xp to restart without really restarting (this is for real).

sorry i came across this one really cool:
How to restart Windows without restarting your computer
This one is again is. When you click on the SHUTDOWN button, make sure to simultaneous press SHIFT Button. If you hold the Shift key down while clicking on SHUTDOWN button, you computer would restart without restarting the Computer. This is equivalent to term"HOT REBOOT".

Great site to find info on Windows Xp & Xp Pro:

Microsoft Windows XP won't allow you to un-install or repair Internet Explorer. How can you fix the browser or even reinstall the program if it becomes corrupt?

If you don't yet have the very latest Internet Explorer, you can fix many problems by visiting "Windows Update Page" and updating to the latest version. If you're already up to date, however, the site won't let you reinstall the program. You need to fool the system into thinking you don't have the latest version.

IE6 reinstall back in.
Launch REGEDIT from the Start menu's Run dialog and navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}. In the right-hand pane, double-click on the DWORD value IsInstalled and change it from 1 to 0 (no matter whether you choose Decimal or Hexadecimal). Close REGEDIT and go to the Windows update site again. Now it should let you "update" IE and, with luck, fix the problems.

IE6 Outlook Express
By the way, you can do the same thing if you need to repair Outlook Express, but at the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}.

after all is done go to Microsoft update page you be able to reinstall it back in clean, i found this out my goof-up shown it gone back to IE Vr5.5 and not IE Vr6.
