Windows XP 64-Bit Redux

[Concerned Human]

As for installing from stick, let's see here....ah, my trusty 50MB jump-drive. I'm actually pretty excited about Ubuntu, since it can install within Windows and their philosophy is very cool. Ultimately I still feel left with too many incompatible cheap hardware components (my Wi-Fi adapter software HAS to be running to connect). I really do appreciate all of your folks help, but hey, remember how I said "problems that are their own fault, anyway"?

poor critter. the HD had less than %10 free, now is closer to %50. With addition of this basic neglected maintenance, and while running "Game Booster" and MarioMadness's unofficial Dolphin Launcher (both frag greedy explorer processes until quit), and with suggested plugin settings, I can stick to 55-60FPS almost all of the time.

I've learned a lot so far, and it's very exciting stuff to me, but...

That said, if you sold all your games a long time ago and still continue to play pirated copies of them I can't really believe you when you say the barrier to upgrading your OS is the purchase price...

You both sound very nice. Together between you I have Bob Barker screaming at me about how computers grow on trees while flailing some kind of strange and threatening device.

At any rate, I've fixed my problem, thanks to good people like the rest of you, and I appreciate your having taken the time.
