So we have quite a few PC's laying around the office that are significantly better than my home PC and I made an executive decision to upgrade myself. I am going from a P4 1.2 Ghz with 256Meg Ram to a new P4 2.4 Ghz with 1Gig Ram. I am keeping my nice new video card and sound card from this last year. While it is not a huge difference here, it should help a bit. My only problem is I'm lazy and don't want to transfer my programs to a new drive so I decided to try and boot the old drive on the new PC.... nope, no likey. So I am back to my tinkering and troubleshooting days that I pay staff to take care of now in the office. I decided to uninstall all my drivers in the old PC and do a windows XP repair on my existing software on the new PC, hopefully this allows me to boot and fix things. So far so good, it says I have 30 min until I smile at my brilliance, or cry in shame at my failure.... Gotta go, the blue screen of death is calling me.

Call your brother, Charles. He fixed Mothers Lap top from hesirtating. Lats see, you make 100,000 a year, last counting and Charles makes 30,000 a year? Life is CRUEL!
It's not like my proffession just dropped into my lap or anything, I earned it of course! And for an update, my new improved PC swap drive technique worked perfectly and I am very pleased with the improved performance (visualize me patting myself on the back here).
