Someone please help if you can i've reinstalled it three times in normal Windows and once in safe mode. My OS is XP. I just got this today so i'd really like to use it.

My pc specs are:

Fujitsu Siemens
AMD Sempron Processor 3000+
994 MHz, 400mb of RAM
149Gb Hard Drive
Windows XP Home Edition SP2

The slowdown has been happening for a few months now and getting worse, I thought it was because I had alot of movies saved onto my HD but I cleared them all off, got rid of any programmes and documents I haven't been using, did a disc clean up and defragmented the HD. I've run a full system scan for viruses and malware and the like but my pc is clean.

The slowness continues and my CPU usage keeps going to 100% for no visibly apparent reason, what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I have a 3.5 IDE hard drive which is has windows XP on and all my programs and music etc are on a SATA drive which is plugged into the motherboard. If I unplug the SATA drive and reinstall windows on my IDE will I be able to plug my SATA drive straight back in and still have all my music etc. I know the programs will have to be reinstalled its just music and photos and videos I am concerned about.

I'm using Windows XP and I have been having this sound distortion for a while. The sound crackles and distorts when playing video or when objects on screen are moved. The audio plays fine when the windows are minimized ie: I'm watching a movie, and if I minimize it, the sound is fine. Same with music, though it also plays fine if I don't move anything around onscreen.

I have an old, discontinued 3DRage Pro PCI video card (can't update drivers as the product is discontinued) and a Creative Live Soundblaster Value sound card.

I've also heard that Creative has had some conflicts with Windows XP (or so my very few results on Google told me), but I haven't found any solutions in that area either. My drivers are all updated for my sound card.

I'm replacing the graphics card anyway, to improve my system. Should I look into replacing the sound card too?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have admistrator access on my computer and a problem with someone else in the house, I won't bore you with the details. For now I've disabled all the CD players (real player, windows media, itunes, etc.), but it would be better if I could just dis-allow them from using the drives themselves and allow them to listen to online websites.

I see many numbers on my computer, but can you also tell me how many numbers the serial number has and does it also have letters. This way I will know if I have the correct number. I need it to update my security.
