ok thanks guys! ill give that virtual pc program a try

hey guys, quick question:

i am currently running win7 64-bit on a laptop, i want to partition a piece of the hard drive and put windows XP Home Edition on it (32bit), my question is: can i buy the cheaper upgrade version of xp, and install it on that empty partition since i already have a genuine copy of a windows OS (win7)

or will i have to buy the full version of winXP home edition 32bit?

thanks

thanks guys, yea there are several programs & processes made by HP that run in the background (mediasmart, digital imaging monitor, ect.) at all times, i know i hardly ever use them so i'll just disable them on startup...i appreciate your help!

i hope i have this thread in the right section...

anyway, i just got a new laptop for college, its a hp hdx16t running vista home premium 64-bit, 4gb of ram, 500gb hdd, 3.06ghz intel core duo processor, nvidia geforce gt 130m video card...i've had it for about 2 weeks now, and one day when my laptop was simply idling on the windows desktop, i brought up the task manager and saw these stats...

my CPU usage is constantly around 10% to 15% with around 4% to 6% being used my task manager

i ususally have about 95 processes when my computer idles and it uses about 40-45% of my physical memory (ram)

my question is: is that cpu usage normal? right now running google chrome im getting jumps from 8% to 23% on my overall cpu usage

i know on my parents desktop computer (vista home premium 32-bit, intel core duo 2.66ghz, 2gb ram, 500gb hdd, 256mb ati radeon 1330) the cpu usage stays at around 0% to 5% with like 1% used for taskmanager

How do you connect it to the PS3?Ultrabeatdown55

okay the way i did it was turn on the headset (hold power until green light comes on) then go to "accessory settings" on your ps3 and go to "audio devices" and go to connect device or something similiar it should be easy to find, and you should see "wireless headset" under devices so press the down button to highlight it and press triangle and choose connect and it should do it no problem. you know its connected when the headset power light flashes green quickly 2 times about every 3 seconds

hope this helped

Push the over ear thing to fit your ear. Sort of mold it into shape.Duckman5

! thanks haha i feel dumb now, i molded it to where it fits perfectly, thanks!

as to the guy that needs to connect it, i haven't tried yet but i think you need to connect it to the USB and maybe to go a setting on your PS3, not sure tho

Is it just me? I do have larger than average ears but not THAT BIG. It seems like when i get the ear clip on it feels so loose, and when i tilt my head to the side, it just falls off!!

The ear clip seems to too think b/c it can't settle b/w the top of my ear and my head

any advice? anyone with similiar problems? i haven't tried the actual voice quality but the design already seems flawed IMO

EDIT: "seems too thick"

wow...i can't even remember...crap

WAIT!

GTA3 and Ghost Recon (the first one)

i played the heck outta that game..and the 2nd one, and the one after that, and then GRAW on 360...but never GRAW 2..wasn't interested anymore..

when i played GTA3 it was like a gaming revelation in my life...still play it from time to time
