Is the IDE cable an 80 wire or 40 wire, because if it is 40 wire then that's your problem. The IDE cable that connects to a DVD drive is 40 wire and if you put a hard drive on that, it'll slow it down tremendously. You should be using the IDE cable that came with the hard drive.

lol, it took me about a minute to get, but it's brilliant.
Yeah, but it mixes Final Fantasy characters in the story as well. It's not just a Disney game.Ryan wrote:

You could try downloading and running this to uninstall your ATI video drivers: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Unin … onal.shtml
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS IN THE README FILE FOR ATI CARDS OR YOU WILL CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
Afterwards, go here: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html and install the latest drivers for your video card.
After all of that, you could get CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/ and run the cleanup and registry cleanup that's built into it to see if that helps.

You could try these steps:
1. Examine the “System” and “Application” logs in Event Viewer for other recent errors that might give further clues. To do this, launch EventVwr.msc from a Run box; or open “Administrative Tools” in the Control Panel then launch Event Viewer.
2. If you’ve recently added new hardware, remove it and retest.
3. Run hardware diagnostics supplied by the manufacturer.
4. Make sure device drivers and system BIOS are up-to-date.
5. However, if you’ve installed new drivers just before the problem appeared, try rolling them back to the older ones.
6. Open the box and make sure all hardware is correctly installed, well seated, and solidly connected.
7. Confirm that all of your hardware is on the Hardware Compatibility List. If some of it isn’t, then pay particular attention to the non-HCL hardware in your troubleshooting.
8. Check for viruses.
9. Investigate recently added software.
10. Examine (and try disabling) BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
I'd also suggest downloading and running CCleaner and the registry cleaner built into CCleaner. It is free and is an awesome little program: http://www.ccleaner.com/

Seagate's have lasted longer and are quieter in my experience.
Other than that, everything else looks great!
Forgot to mention that the Seagate drive comes with a 5 year limited warranty vs. a 3 year limited warranty with the Western Digital.

If you have to wear retainers, make sure you WEAR THEM. Don't do the mistake I did and not wear them when I was supposed to. Trust me, it'll come back to haunt you.

You should only upgrade unless you're absolutely sure that all of your hardware has Vista drivers out for them.
But then again, you don't need DirectX10 now since there aren't any games out that take advantage of it.
If you're really intent on putting Vista in anyway, I'd do a complete delete partition>reformat (not a quick format)>install instead of upgrading since it presents a lot less problems.

Norton hogs your system's resources. I use AVG anti-virus (it's free) and Zone Alarm free firewall. They're both great and they don't hog system resources like Norton does.
Unfortunately, everyone here seems to be forgetting that he only has a 250 Watt Power Supply. I don't think that's gonna cut it if he upgrades his video card.
If I were you, I would look up your PC's model number on HP's website and see what form factor they say it is just to be sure, then upgrade to a better power supply, at least 400 watts. That should be able to handle a video card upgrade.
And no, do NOT upgrade to a 9600XT from a 9600 you will see very little if any difference in graphics or frames per second.

If using drivercleaner or getting new drivers doesn't work you could try forcing bf2 to reoptimize the shaders. If you want to try that go to your My Documents folder>Battlefield 2>mods>bf2>cache and delete everything that's in the cache folder. Then go into BF2, set your options to 1024x768@85Hz, everything at medium and view distance scale at 100%, and NO antialiasing. Start a single player game and let it optimize the shaders, then see if that problem happens again.

Go into the registry and delete those keys linked to Bf2
Reboot and you should be able to install it.

If that doesn't work it's either old firmware on your DVD Drive that needs updating or there is something wrong physically with the drive.

A girl died in 1933 by a homicidal murderer. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murderer chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded.
