We dont have an IT, no worries. Thanks for all your help. The lady that had this before me I don't think really knew much about computers but has SQL and C++ installed on here... I'm guessing her bf used it which might explain the changes.

Oh God! Get those memory hogs uninstalled!
Running SQL server or MS Dev Studio either one (much less both) on a 32-bit machine with 1 gb of RAM is just asking for trouble!

Also you can see if you are running in Sata I or II with this program (Click Hard Drive) and look for "transfer mode"


Also do you know if you have your HD in IDE mode or AHCI? (In the BIOS) , this is important. If you have no idea go to your BIOS and check if you have the option most likely you do. If its in IDE mode do not change it to AHCI mode.
You have to first change a registry value then go into the BIOS and change it to AHCI. If you select AHCI and Windows was installed in IDE mode then you will BSOD until you change it back to IDE. Changing the Registry Key will make it all work

You want to be in AHCI mode
My BIOS doesn't give me ANY of those options, lol.

Well, looks like I'm going to stray from Motorola once again. I just pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S3

That will bring my phone ownership score to:

Motorola: 5
V60, V710 (actually a couple of them), E815 (like 4 I think), MotoQ, DroidX

HTC: 1
Touch-Pro

Samsung: 1
GS3

Fun, Go to the device manager and expand IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers

Any of them say AHCI Controller? Screen shot would be nice here.

Ok guys I need some advice on tires.

I'm paying for my new wheels tomorrow (thats a secret, no one will know what wheels until they're on the car ) but there is a $200 difference depending on what tires I get. I can get Nitto 555s, or save $200 and get Falken 452s. I've heard mixed reviews on the Falkens. But most of what I've heard has not been good. I want to save $200 but not for the expense of my life or my car if they are not safe tires.

So, give me your thoughts.... go!
