Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Windows XP help, please.
« on: January 21, 2004, 09:05 PM »
I would first try to install windows over top over your current windows. insert the windows cd and boot the computer. windows should recognize that windows is already installed at which point it will ask you if you want to repair it. answer yes to that. it will ask some more questions and it will take off. once it is finished your windows will either work perfectly, it wont boot at all or you will have the same problem. if you want to email me, i can give you my phone number and walk you through it step by step...my email is mikerutan@comcast.net i will keep my email open

do you have the ability to log on as a different user, if you can see if that fixes it. your profile could be corrupted. you can do this by ctrl-alt-dlt -> log off. If you cant do that, i am out of ideas, you could try to install windows over itself again, but that rarely works

Watto's Junk Yard / any lawers from NJ here---help
« on: January 21, 2004, 06:10 PM »
i got a ticket for driving through private property to avoid a traffic light, and in NJ it is a court required ticket.  My court appearance is monday the 26th, and i checked on the NJ dmv website to find out the fines---$50-200 or up to 15 days in jail or both. All of my friends believe i wont have to go to jail because of this, especially since there wasnt an accident or anything. Is there anything I can do to be sure I wont have to go to jail because of this. I dont care if i have to pay the fine and get the DMV points. PS I would rather not have to get a lawer.

in the task manager you will see a processes tab.sort by the cpu by clicking the title and see what is using your processor. If it is explorer or system idle process you probobly have a serious problem. if it is a virus you should be able to clearly see which one. Also check your event viewer control panel->administrative tools->event viewer, and see if any service failed to start. dont be terribly worried if you have a lot of stuff in there it is quite typical i have 3500 events and my pc is fine. report your findings and i can try to help you through it

Check to make sure all of your hardware is on the windows HCL (Hardware compatibility list). If it is try to format and install it again. Windows installations sometimes just fail. if they are an unexpected/untrapped error you may not even get a message that tells you there is a problem. If both of those dont help, try kicking it

i live next to princeton, and have only found one hobby shop around here. there are 2 about 1 hour away, but it is not worth it. I have been used to getting everything from towerhobbies.com. I build car models and tower is the only place i can get them b/c the other place stinks

A man walks into a bar and turns to the guy sitting next to him, and says "have you seen the new streets, they are made of this new space aged concrete" the other man looks at him confused and says "what are you talking about". the first then says "it is to stop people from killing themselves from jumping off the roof...they just bounce off and land on their feet, i will show you." both men walk outside, the first man climbs up to the top of the building and jumps off, and sure enough he bounces and lands on his feet. The second guy decides he has to try this, so he climbs up to the top of the building and jumps off......splat he is killed on impact.
The first man walks into the bar again, the bartender turns to him and says..."Superman you are one mean bastard"

another thing i like about the tmaxx is it has a 2 speed transmission, and when you hit 2nd gear it just takes off that much faster. it makes all the difference in the world...what part of the country do you live in
