Then nothing....blank monitor. I put the orig cpu back in and everything works fine.
Any suggestions? Thanks. Ponka

I downloaded a DJ program from the internet, played it and deleted it from the computer. Ever since then, when I open 'my computer', the icon for the C drive has changed. I click on it to open it and a small window appears saying

"windows cannot find the program mixvibespro.exe. The program is needed for opening files of type, 'file'. Type in the executable file to used instead."
Then it gives me a space to enter what i want.

I can access the hard drive using the right mouse button, and clicking on explore or open, but why has it changed and what can i do to get rid of this mixvibes thing.

Your help is much appreciated.

pc has 800 mgz cpu and 512 mb, 20 gb hdd with about 3 gb of free space, running windows xp home version 2, about 5 years old, off brand. recently added belkin 5 port usb 2.0 card and la cie 250 gb external hd, that's when problems started. pc would not auto shut off at first, had to push on/off button. would boot up to windows login, had to click profile, never had to do that before. today booted up to check disk utility which I (foolishly) skipped on the second login. All these Microsoft Money 2004 error messages popped up, window from system tray pops up I need to run check disk utility. try to get out of Microsoft Money 2004 error messages to run check disk. go to delete Microsoft Money 2004 from add/delete programs and every thing locks up, ctrl-alt-delete, no go. turn off pc with on/off switch, leave for a bit in frustration (!), try again, run check disk, get all these error messages about FAT on same area (i think), fixed by copying. then goes to cd rom error,need boot cd HELP!!

Onboard graphics in Intel share its Video RAM from System RAM.
Is it true?
What about AGP? does it share its VRAM from system RAM?
What about PCI Express? does it share its VRAM from system RAM?
