Windows XP Service Pack 3 Issue
Recently I encountered a problem with my PC and was forced to use system recovery. Now I am back to the factory settings and am attempting to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 onto my computer. Windows Update refuses to work for me, as each time I try to
update I get [Error number: 0x8024400A]. I believe this is because I am using Service Pack 2, or this is what I've concluded after researching the problem, anyway.
That is not my actual concern, though. Since I couldn't get the update automatically, I attempted to download and install the ''Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers'' myself. The first time I did this, I
restarted the PC after in

Also crashed when I tried to play Awesomenauts. I have not tried it with any other games.
I have had this sort of thing happen to me before, but I don't know how I fixed it. I've uploaded the dump the folder that was generated with the SF Diagnostic Tool and I have copied the useful part of the error message that pops up after getting back to the desktop.(I have no idea what to call it) Quote:

Hey all
I have my lappie jacked into a 37inch TV, it works great for gaming and watching movies and all that good stuff. But when it actually comes to reading the texts on screen it starts to become a strain on the eyes. I would like to be able to max out my resolution, that way I feel like I have more room on the screen as compared to having a lower reso, but in the case that I do use the max reso all of the texts on screen (such as desktop icon names) become very small and hard to read. Now I know there is an option to make the font size bigger, but when I do mess around with that setting to make the font size bigger it just returns everything to a lower state of resolution. So any way to make the font size bigger without a

How to change 640X480 High color resolution to 1029X768 High color
location:

January 28, 2013
I have just upgraded to Windows 7 from Windows XP. The view on the desktop is too large. I tried to change the resolution to a smaller size but the only choices that are available with high color is 640X480. All the rest have 256 colors. I tried to update
my display driver, (Intel 865G), from the internet with no success. Possibly because part of the display is off screen. How can I update my driver or change the 256 colors to 16 bit High color.

When lowering screen resolution, screen does not stretch to fit

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum, just joined actually, and I had a quick question. When I set my resolution to any other res other than the highest possible i get a black outline around my screen due to the resolution not stretching to fit my entire screen. This is fairly recent, as it never used to happen. I'm figuring it might be a driver problem, but I'm not sure. Any help would be great.

Greetings. Whenever I start some game, I get Blank screen after (5 - 10 min) and constant sound loop forcing me to restart my pc. I suspect on my temperatures, but they show 50 - 55 when in game for my processor and 70 - 75 for my GPU. Also I suspect on
PSU since it is fading slowly. Any ideas? Thanks, Venomus

Unable to Change Backup Settings in Windows 7-- Windows will complete a backup to the drive only through the autoplay function when the drive is first pluged in.
location:

April 24, 2010
Config: Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium.
After completing a backup to an external HDD (USB), I can no longer get a response from clicking on the Backup Now button, or "Change Settings" or " Change Schedule" links. Windows will complete a backup to the drive only through the autoplay function when
the drive is first pluged in. Windows Backup will not function with any other external drives either, only the original one on which the first backup was done.
