Half-A-100

I have two boys in college - the eldest has just completed 4 years and is waiting to be called to Oklahoma for air traffic control training (with pay no less . The younger is in his 3rd year - computer engineering @ University of Central Florida. Anyway yes on many occasions they have both work with me over the years and their consensus is "Dad thanks for sending us to college - we don't know how you do this work day in and day out. My website has more pics >> http://watersmechanical.com/pipefreezing/pipefreezingpics.html

My son took one of me removing a 24" freeze jacket from a pipe freeze we just completed.

Welcome - I'll be gunning for U

Any suggestions, I've been told this error (iw3mp) is related to the sound card, mine is intermittent. It shuts down my game at any random point. Sometimes right away sometimes after 30 minutes and sometimes not at all. I running a quad core AMD with Win 7 Pro. Head set is Razor Megladon. Sound card - not used when playing as Razor is self contained and plugs into usb. I've used a cheat headset and still had the same problems. Any thoughts as I get dropped at the most inopportune times, then it looks bad as I re start up and sign back in and end up on the other team half the time.

Thanks to Pink! for getting this started. . . . .

Loved it

Wow guys there is no end to possibility's. I have fixed the problem (fresh install of XP) however I don't know what the cause was. I have ran two HD's with two different OS's for some time. My reasoning (being old school as I am) is my office computer and home office computer are XP. What I did was upgrade my home office computer some time back to quad core and the 9800gtx+ (oh showing my aged system) with another HDD and used Win 7 pro on the new set up. The new set up was to get into COD 4. Some of the programs and files I wrote many years back (Lotus 123 version 2.1 thru Millennium) Won't work in Win 7. I also had a game patch crash by home office HD prior to the dual HD set up. With the Dual Boot I keep the business and the playing separate. Thanks again - Its been enlightening and well over my head.

Let me see if i can clear up the problem, with a fresh install of windows xp on a new HDD the computer boots up and i can browse threw my computer under xp, but when trying to launch programs (IE for example) the computer freezes. the windows 7 OS seems to be working fine, it may be a little slow but definitely not crashing like XP. I have ran a check disk, and memory diagnostic both passed. i would assume its not a virus or anything because it is a fresh install. any ideas?

My Gaming computer went down My system has two hard drives with two operating systems. On boot up I elect business (XP Pro) or Gaming (Win 7 Pro). The XP side died and had the symptoms of a bad HDD. The Gaming side continued to work. Purchased a new HDD and formated it for XP Pro and Installed. The XP (fresh install) side still does not work. The Win 7 HDD works. Currently at a lost as to How to fix it. Will be on the side lines (with my old laptop) checking the XI website till we get this fixed. Any ideas would be apprieciated.

To the idiots out there who are proud to call themselves computer guru's. . . . I see ad's for registry cleaners which are suppose to help your machine run faster, Has anyone proved this out? Is this for start up or overall performance? And are there any that you would recommend?

Happy B Day T-Rat To the guy whose team I'd much rather be ON than against. Have a good one from one old dog to another.
