I have a Winfast PVR2000 PCI card that I try to plug it into my computer. Once I set the card inside the computer, I turn the computer and Windows automatic find the drivers for it. The problem is I don't want it to install a driver. In XP you get to chose whether or not to allow Windows to try to look up a driver and install it automatically. Is there a way to stop it from search and install.
I tried:
-Right Click the icon and no additional menu pop up to stop it.
-Open the status of the installation, no other option beside "Hide" the window.
Conclusion: Any idea where can change the settings of automatic search and install driver.

A quick question, probably dumb but i'm skeptical as to if i can get some PC2-6400 RAM for my computer. I've got the stock, that came with my Compaq SR2038X(2 x 512MB). I want to upgrade to two sticks of 1GB for 2 gigs. Crucial says 6400 will be compatible, but the Compaq page says 4200(currently what i have) and 5300. Is there any reason to suspect the 6400 to not work w/ my mobo? Also, i think i could use the RAM i currently have, and that could up it to an overall ~3GB of RAM, although then all of the sticks will still run at the original 4200 speed. Is that better or worse than simply just using the new 5300/6400 ram for 2GB?

Crucial says: http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Presario%20Media%20Center%20SR2038X

HP/Compaq says: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00757531&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=&product=3262013

And can anyone recommend good RAM? I was looking at this:

I did a repair of windows coz i kept freezing.. but i got this message saying "VIAAGP1.SYS on VIA AGP Filter disk is needed" but i dont where it could be. Ive looked on forums and they say its in C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers but its not :(

ALSO after i repaired windows i tried to install my video drivers for my ATI Radeon 9550 but i got this error "Setup was unable to complete the installation try to set up your display adapter witha standard VGA adapter driver before running setup" what does that mean ? does that mean i have to be in 640x800 res to install ?

could the 2 probs be connected ??

I plan on buying a Kingston HyperX 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200)

Will the hyperx set of ram work well with the 2x256MB thats already installed in the computer? Or will it not work at its maximum performance?

As far as graphics cards go, the "state of the art" ones, as far as I can tell, are Nvidia and G-Force. I noticed several specs that affected the price... one being MB of memory (from 256 to 512) and the other a seemingly random number, like 8500, 7200, one even as low as like 1550... could someone explain these numbers to me or perhaps just recommend a good graphics card? Thanks.

Here's my set up. I've got a Dynamic XLR (3 pin) microphone. This will go though an XLR cord into a XLR female to 6.25 mm phonejack/minijack male converter. I then use another converter to change the 6.25mm phonejack/minijack to 3.5mm phonejack/ minijack which pugs into my computer. Do I need a preamp (preamplifier)? If I do, where will it go in the connection?

I have found a Sparkle GeForce 8600 GT / 512MB DDR2 / SLI Ready / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / HDTV / Video Card, and im wondering if it's any good. Also, can u tell me what type of motherboard it would be compatible with. My motherboard has a PCI-E slot on it, but im wondering if thats all you need for this card to be compatible with your PC.

Thanks,
