You'll have to install the right Codec. I had the same problem when I was "previewing" some movies. The smr-patch fixed it for me.

One of my drives, which contain loads of data, have become... missing. Whenever I click on it, XP asks me if I want to format. If I look it up under partition magic, it says that it's unallocated space. I don't want to format nor create another partition until I retrieve the data. Does anyone know a ...

linux and winxp network

Is it possible to network two computers, one with XP (internet) and the other with linux?

I'm experimenting with Red Hat 8.0 and am wondering if it's easy to set up. Both computers are set up with wireless network, but have NIC cards for backup.

where did my HD space go??

I partitioned 2 gigs for XP. From a clean install, it took about 750 MB. I turned off system restore, installed office, photoshop 6 and a few small programs. It's been about three months and now I only have 7 MB left. I cleaned out temp files. Is there something else I should do?

That's weird. Before I had only 2 Gigs reserved for XP and I had abou 800 MB left over. Now that I have 3 Gigs, I still only have 800 MB left.

I guess, it's time to use partition magic to give it more breathing room.

XP ate my drive space

Hi,

I partitioned 3 Gigs just for XP. It was a fresh install and I haven't installed any proggies yet. So far, it says that I have already used up 2250 MB. How can this be. I turned off all the paging and System Restore. Is there another trick before I reformat and install?
