Make sure the computer is set to boot off \"other devices\" or something to that nature in BIOS.

Software / Smaller XP Desktop Icons?

For your icons, you can download wintidy 2.0, I use it for my desktop and it makes my icons small and tidy.

There is a CD-Burner Update from XP that may fix this problem. Just run Windows Update and look for the patch.

Overclocking / Cool Running

Edit: I just realized I put the temperature of the motherboard and not the CPU. The CPU runs at 35 degrees celcius under full load.

Overclocking / Cool Running
« on: August 14, 2002, 10:44:47 AM »
I have a Thunderbird 1.4Ghz overclocked to 1.56Ghz running at 29 degrees celcius.
How is that possible without watercooling you ask?? Simple...We have central air in our house and I rigged a small device that reroutes about a quarter of the air blown into my room to the back of my computer. I was amazed at the difference it made. Initially I was worried about condensation, but it hasn\'t gotten cold enough for that to happen!! If you have central air in your house then you have a great way to cool off your computer in my opinion.

I don\'t think it will ask you to activate. I\'ve ghosted xp images to different hard drives on my computer and haven\'t had to activate.

Software / Slipstream SP1/Office XP

2. Whip out your Office XP CD and create a shortcut to the setup.exe
3. Edit that shortcut and add /a to the end like this setup.exe /a
4. Now use that shortcut to create an admin install point. (I used G:OfficeXP)
5. Now it will ask you for the key and what not during this process.
6. After creating the admin install point you should have a directory with 7 files and 1 directory called files
7. Now download Office XP SP1 - Admin version 40 MB (!)
8. Run the admin update and point it to a directory you can create. (I extracted my files to D:oxpsp1)
9. Now open up a command prompt and enter in this information (remember D:oxpsp1 is the SP1 files and G:OfficeXP is my admin install point. You might have to change these to match your computer) \"msiexec /p D:oxpsp1MAINSP1_Admin.msp /a G:OfficeXPPROPLUS.MSI SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L* G:oxpsp1.log\"
10. Now you can burn the contents of the admin install directory to CD and then install Office XP SP1 with no problems
This should work fine for everyone having install problems.
