I am not one to support lying to the wife, persay, but if you buy an internal HD and a case and put em together, no one ever has to know that when they entered the house they were in 2 separate boxes... That being said, seagate or western digital are always reliable. the best part about "building" your own is that hDs go on sale all the time. I was able to buy a western digital 250gb HD for only $80 on sale at Best Buy one week, and an external enclosre was only $50. check your papers every week, and youre bound to come upon a sale for internal HDs sooner or later, they are seemingly always

Well the problem is I already have the tablet I have, it was given to me as a gift, actualy, because it was a lower end model, only about $50, so I could use it and decide if I liked it and eventually move on up to a nicer, more expensive model. That being said, lower model or not, this one came with decent reviews and no one ever complaining of weird driver problems with win XP...

I recently purchased a "True Touch SuperPen 3d Graphics Tablet" that has both a wireless pen and wireless mouse as interfaces. It connects via USB, and has a CD Rom with drivers on it. I connect it and install the tablet drivers from the CD, and there are no problems. The tablet puts a little icon in my taskbar telling me how functional it is, even, and device manager says everything is working properly. It refers to it as a HID, Human INterface Device. Next, however, Windows decides I need to also install drievrs for the "HID Compatible Mouse." It actually decides I need to do this twice,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I uninstalled a number of my codecs, and then I downloaded the newest codec pack from www.doom9.net, as well as the newest ripPack for that matter, and then DivX Pro 6 codecs, and everythign seems to be working fine again. No crashes when I run video files, no matter HOW I access them (File->Open or directly clicking) using WMP and I can follow that shortcut that was previously devious and Explorer does not crash. I sat here stupefied for so long and immediately dismissed the issue as being codec related, because I had forgotten entirely about Explorers

I had originally thougt about codec problems, but the explorer crashign threw me off. i didnt even think about the fact that it needs codecs to access metadata. All of my folders are already set to classic views-> Lists. the File-> Open trick does not work with any other media player, it crashes them and then explorer. no matter how i follow the shortcut, right click search, etc, it still crashes explorer. i did not get a chance to run the command line. and i am late for class. but you replied so quickly i wanted to respond. the codec problem makes sense... as soon as i single click

OK. I know similar problems have arisen with other people, but I have found none that are the same as mine, and those with solutions are not solutions that work for me, or at least not as of yet. This site seems to offer some of the very best advice, so I finally decided to post. I also know my post is long but I am trying to be thorough, so please bear with me, I really need help! Here is some general info, which I am sure will be needed... I am running Windows XP Pro with 768 Mb RAM on a p3 processor, 1.8 Ghz. I have 2 internal hard drives - one is a 200 Gb, that is partitioned into a 40
