"Reliable and stable"
Thats what it says when you install it (i was looking today)..
Soooo.. if its 'Reliable' and 'Stable', then why have i had to reformat about 8 times within the last 2 months. That works at 1 reformat a week.
WinXP sure is reliable and stable!

Haven't encountered any real issues with XP myself. Guess I'm just lucky.

When the same problem occurs like that after formating from the start of a fresh install, that would mean two things.
1) The XP cd you are using is bootleg, and it could have corruption issues somewhere on it, and with any OS, one problem turns into many.
2) Hardware problem. This is more what it sounds like. Look around on your PC for problems. Try going to the run menu and running "dxdiag" go to the "More Help" tab and click on the MSinfo button. Look under the Conflicts/Sharring area. If your video is in one of those catagories, than that should be your problem, if not, it could be some of the others.

Yup, i see my video card 3 times on there. Any idea how i can fix it?
|
You could try to remove them all three, then restart Windows. Then it will probably detect the card again and install it properly itself.
