Could you get into safe mode before any repair?

And if so, what kind of repaired did you perform?

Do you have some type of a boot cd for viruses?

S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR Drivers/Driver, ProSavgeDDR drivers, ProSavageDDR8 Drivers, Savage, Graphics Drivers Windows 98/ME/2000/2003/NT-XP.


Transform and Lighting Transform and Lighting NVIDIA has created a
discontinuity in the PC market with the introduction of the GeForce 256T GPU
(Graphics Processing Unit).

Q.> : I have a S3 Graphics proSavgeDDR video card in my computer.
I was wondering if it is T & L capable (Transform and Lighting). Please email
me back to answer my question.


A.> : When you try to start any of the game programs that are listed earlier in
this article, your program may not start, and you may receive an error
message that is similar to the following:

This adapter does not meet the minimum requirements
-or-

RalliSport Challenge requires a video card that supports hardware tranform
and lighting.


Transform and Lighting Transform and Lighting NVIDIA has created a
discontinuity in the PC market with the introduction of the GeForce 256T GPU
(Graphics Processing Unit).
see this link: http://www.nvnews.net/previews/geforce2_gt..._lighting.shtml


SO THE ANSWER IS NO


Q.> : Are the GeForce video cards the only ones that have the T & L capablity.
Thankz for the feedback


A.> : I don't play games personally but, however I try to stay up on the most
technology out there is for example I never keep a motherboard more than a
year. So I can stay on all the operating system's from Microsoft (Windows).

However, it's really funny all manufacturers say you bought the computer of
the feature. This is not true as some aspects of today games come out faster
than technology and is the most common things are video cards and sound cards
that change in technology. It seems today the game manufacture is playing
games with most of their client. This is my opinion here is a couple articles
will help you better understand.



Transform and Lighting
Geometrically complex worlds require exceptional processing speed. And transform and lighting are two very mathematically intense processes. Combined, transform and lighting radically enhance photo-realism to create worlds that come alive on your screen. see this link:

What is OEM?

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, and most often refers to the likes of Dell or Gateway. At least originally, "OEM versions" of products were usually the same products that you'd find at retail, but with no-frills packaging, reduced support, and sometimes lesser warranties.

When it comes to Windows, "OEM editions" most often refer to the cheaper versions of Windows made available to "system builders" and other classes of Microsoft partners. You can buy OEM versions of Windows online almost any place that sells software, such as NewEgg. Companies keep compliant with Microsoft's rules by bundling OEM versions with a token piece of hardware, like a cable. Here's a glimpse of current OEM pricing:

As a general rule, OEM software is usually much cheaper than full retail copies, but only slightly cheaper than retail upgrades.


Can I buy OEM?

Yes, you can. Microsoft licenses OEM software to "system builders," which the license defines as "an original equipment manufacturer, or an assembler, reassembler, or installer of software on computer systems" (emphasis added). You can install software on computers, right?

When asked, Microsoft says that OEM software is not intended to be installed by end users. Off the record, Microsoft spokespeople have told me that the big concern in Redmond is for Joe Newbie. They don't want inexperienced users buying OEM software, but the fact of the matter is that anyone can buy OEM versions of Windows.

Truth be told, Microsoft is not opposed to the practice. Rather, the company says that people who purchase OEM software will simply be expected to abide by the terms of the licensing agreements. 


What's missing from the OEM version?

When you buy OEM, you need to understand what you're getting.

OEM editions of Windows don't come in pretty boxes, nor do they include manuals. Of course, a real "manual" has never shipped with Windows, and chances are, if you're interested in OEM software, you don't need what passes for a manual these days, anyway. And the pretty box... well, that's not really worth much anyway, is it? Rest assured, though: the software on the disc is the same as that found in any retail edition.

There are some gotchas, though. OEM software cannot be returned once opened. There are no exceptions. You open it, you've bought it.

OEM software is also tied to the motherboard it is first installed on (On Windows XP, 2003, 2008 and Vista.) Unlike the retail versions of Windows which can be transferred to a new computer, OEM versions are not transferable. What about upgrading hardware? Microsoft says that anything is fair game, except the motherboard. Replacing the motherboard in a computer results in a "new personal computer," which the company considers to be synonymous with a transfer. It's not permitted with an OEM edition of Windows.

Nevertheless, I've known users who got around this limitation by calling Microsoft and reporting that their motherboards died when they wanted to build a new computer. It is Microsoft's policy to allow motherboard swaps in instances where a system is defective or has suffered a hardware failure. But you shouldn't bank on this approach; there's no guarantee it will work and, well, liars don't get ice cream. Also, while retail versions of Vista include both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, OEM versions are specific. You get one or the other. This follows from the per device restriction. The end result is that OEM versions may not be that attractive to users who frequently build new computers from the ground up.

Then there's support. Technically, OEM versions of Windows get first-tier support from the system builders who put the OEM software on your machine. In the case of Mom & Pop Computers, that means M&P is your first support hit. In the case of you buying OEM software for yourself, technically this means that you're your own support. What does this really mean? Retail Vista comes with 90 days of free support. OEM edition users don't get that, but paid support is still an option, should you need it.


There is one disadvantage of using OEM software over retail software:

On Windows XP, 2003, 2008 and Vista you'll need one copy OEM software for every computer you're setting up and retail software you only pay a small fee for additional computers in a home network, so in the long run if you're planning to setups many computers with the same OS then retail is your best bet over OEM.


The sum difference

Should you consider OEM software? I've outlined the issues, now it's up to you. Just keep in mind one thing: Microsoft has shown renewed interest in enforcing the terms of its licenses, and the technology that helps the company do so is getting more pervasive, and smarter.

Q.)  I bought the OEM VISTA and the package keeps saying it must be preinstalled using OPK. I have a family/ home computer that has a corrupt XP and I am going to completely remove XP. Will I still need the OPK afterwards?

(Thanks I quess you do not understand I have a fully licensed copy of Vista Premium, but no OPK it is a separate disc used by system builders. I do not want to spend another $90 but I do thank you for all your info and time. I will locate someone who knows about the OPK software and see if they have a copy.)


A.) You Don't understand in order to get this OPK software you need to register as
a PARTNER with Microsoft. OPK lets them install windows onto a new built PC,
add company logos to system info, support information and links as well as
additional software, then 'reseal' the computer for resell.




To more accurately try to answer your question, I have to break it down into
two questions.


Question 1 - Do I have to use the OPK (OEM Preinstallation Kit) per the EULA
(End User License Agreement)?
Question 2 - Do I have to use the OPK to physically insert the OEM DVD and
install Vista?

Question 1 - Do I have to use the OPK per the EULA?

The answer to the first question is unclear. The OEM EULA can be found
here:
http://www.microsoft.com/oem/sblicense/OPK/default.mspx

I will discuss some of the requirements in the OEM EULA, but you should read
it for yourself and come to your own interpretation.

Per the EULA, you must be a 'system builder' in order to legally install the
OEM software. The definition of a 'system builder' is listed in clause one
of the EULA. The way I read it, almost anybody who builds computers, or
installs software on computers qualifies. A 'reassembler' also qualifies,
whatever that is. Again - read it for yourself.

Per clause six in the EULA, the software must be preinstalled on the
'device' and then be 'distributed' to the end user using the OPK. In a
court of law, and that is where this has to ultimately be determined *not*
by a lawyers interpretation, my interpretation, your interpretation or even
Microsoft's interpretation, it could be argued that you are distributing the
computer to yourself and must therefore use the OPK per the terms of the
licensing agreement. Or it could be argued that you aren't distributing
anything at all and completely bypassing the 'distribution' of Vista. I
know that doesn't answer your question, but it's the best I can do since I
am not a 'court of law'. :-) Bottom line is that it's your call until this
is clarified.

Question 2 - Do I have to use the OPK to physically insert the OEM DVD and
install Vista?

I have heard from one person that you can install the OEM version of Vista
without having to use the OPK, though I don't have first hand knowledge if
that is possible.

One other consideration - If you have opened the package, you can not
'distribute' the software to another system builder or return it for refund
per the EULA. You can try to get a refund if you want, but there is no
obligation to provide you with one. Again read clause one of the EULA for
yourself and don't accept my interpretation.

In my opinion, Microsoft needs two OEM EULA's, one for 'system builders and
resellers' and one for 'end user system builders' that clears up these types
of questions and then no interpretation is needed.

Oem Preinstallation Kit (OPK)

OEM is original equipment manufacturer. People who build the computers from component parts.

The OPK lets them install windows onto a new built PC, add company logos to system info, support information and links as well as additional software, then 'reseal' the computer.

This means the buyer doesn't need to go through a full installation of the operating system (approx 40 min) and is instead greeted with a first run of windows screen; and a quick configuration (approx 3-5 mins).

if you've installed an oem copy of windows you can add your own logo and oem info easier than using an OPK by creating oeminfo.ini file (with the info you want in it) and an oemlogo.bmp (picture you want) in the system32 folder of windows. see link:

If your Windows has crashed and you can't Boot into Windows, we can help!
 
Windows Recovery right from the bootable CD
System recovery
Registry recovery
Windows XP Vista Check point recovery from the bootable CD
Partition table recovery
 
This CD does not need Windows to run! Just put it in your CD drive and restart your computer!
See our Web Site for Boot CD's http://www.wmicro.net


Why do I need Windows Safe Mode?

Safe mode is good recovery option to try if you are experiencing problems starting your system or if certain software is causing issues with your PC. Safe mode will help you determine if the problems you are experiencing are hardware malfunctions or software issues.
 
Safe mode works by providing the minimal set of software needed to boot you into the Windows Graphic environment. So, if you can boot in safe mode but cannot boot properly into the normal Windows environment, you have a problem with some of the software or a device driver installed on your system. Safe mode also provides you with access to the tools you need to resolve these kinds of problems. See this link for help http://www.pcrepairs-online.com/Windows_XP/troubleshooting_windows_xp.html
