Fair enough. My earlier comment is withdrawn, or at least toned down.
Dam you caved in again!
Fair enough. My earlier comment is withdrawn, or at least toned down.No, you we're advocating reformat/system restore, i just said, if you go down that road, the system restore/repair is less time consuming of the two.
By reinstalling the same system, with the same drivers, you don't really narrow it down to a hardware problem. Maybe if he tried a different OS (linux live distro perhaps - no need for reformating), he would achive the desired diagnosis, and with less destructive measures.
As for getting rid of a bunch of unnecessary files - there are other ways of doing that, but i'll leave it at that - to each his own.

Dude that CAD and sketchup are hard as to use you went to school?
After doing it once a month for 3 years its starts to go faster each time.It's really not that hard or time consuming at all if you keep all your software ready to go in one place.
.
mouse there are activation cracks out there bro... why not try one?After doing it once a month for 3 years its starts to go faster each time.
This thread is chock full of
When was the last time you used one? yes It keeps that notification icon from poping up but then you eventually get a page saying you need to activate windows or log off.
It seems like when you go to download Service pack III it says your copy of windows is not valid. I used to use them all the time. Only one time it worked and I can't find the file. You have to watch out many of them are serious Trojans that knock out the MBR on the HD and you have to install the XP disc on boot up and then do some sort of repair.
I usually just format. Where did you get yours? Did you ever get one the guy calls himself the Turk?
check these out.

i used to have to use one on my old pc... i will look for the file, it should be on my external hd and it worked like a charm. i never got redirected to some page to activate or any of that, it simply worked.
anyhow, i'll check later on tonight if i still have that file.
When you say it worked was you able to get Microsoft updates?
My bit lord stop downloading and my browsers were slow and my USB would not recognized my Net Gear these last two days so I used Hijack This and found out I was being attacked by a bunch of crap. Now my works why not give it a shot?
Must we beg for updates?
That's ed up people asking for help and cant take the time to give us updates.
Sorry for the late update...
I solved the problem in no time at all. It wasn't the OS and it wasn't the drivers. It was a problem with the cables I was using. Now, I'm not an idiot. Trying out different cables is the first thing I did to verify that wasn't the problem. Except I had the bad luck that neither of the ones I tried was USB 2.0 verified.
Turns out the dude that sold them to me was either a ing crook or didn't know what the he was talking about when he assured me that those cables worked for 2.0. In fact, I don't even think that he knew what the USB 2.0 meant... When it comes to technology, most of Argentina is still in biblical ing times.
Anyway, I tried several different cables until I found out one that worked like a charm. Turns out all my USB ports are 2.0 and work perfectly.
Big thanks to everybody that tried to help. I really appreciate it!
Slomo for the win by the way
