Ti4800se and STOP errors etc

My specs:
ASUS P4S8X-X motherboard
MSI Geforce4 Ti4800se-VTD8X (MS-8900) GPU
512mb pc2700ddr ram (not sure which brand)
Power Supply is 400 Watt I think.
WinXP Pro (no SP1).
I got this new box nearly a month ago, and I have been hammering my brain so much about this main problem:
I keep getting STOP errors mainly in games (from 10 mins till an hour or so of playing), although it also happens when switching user accounts and other random things. Two days ago this happened 8 times in one day.
These STOP codes range from 0X0000008E (most common) and 0X00000050 (sometimes PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA) mentioning nv4_disp.dll or nv4_mini.sys, 0X000000D1 (DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) and 0X00000093 (INVALID_KERNAL_HANDLE), to 0X0000007F and 0X0000000a (not often, and these last two haven't happened since not using the supplied MSI display drivers).
Microsoft has been really helpful (note the sarcasm) in determining the reason for these errors.
Experts Exchange has proved to be no help either (http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/WinXP/Q_20646778.html).
I used DocMemory to test my ram, and 4 tests through and all passed.
There appears to be no IRQ conflicts:
(ISA) 0 System timer
(ISA) 1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
(ISA) 4 Communications Port (COM1)
(ISA) 6 Standard floppy disk controller
(ISA) 8 System CMOS/real time clock
(ISA) 12 PS/2 Compatible Mouse
(ISA) 13 Numeric data processor
(ISA) 14 Primary IDE Channel
(ISA) 15 Secondary IDE Channel
(ISA) 20 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
(PCI) 16 MSI MS-StarForce GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE with AGP8X (NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE with AGP8X)
(PCI) 17 Generic SoftK56 Data Fax
(PCI) 18 SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio
(PCI) 19 Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
(PCI) 20 SiS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller
(PCI) 21 SiS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller
(PCI) 23 SiS 7002 USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller
but is there something bad with two things using #20?
I have tried many different display drivers (nvidia 44.03, 43.45, and 43.30 from nvidia.com and driverheaven.net), but I keep getting these errors. I am currently running the MSI 41.07 drivers from here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=407%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&NAME=MS-8900 and they appear to not be WHQL compliant. I am now downloading 43.51 and 41.04 to see if they work.
GART driver update? I thought I downloaded a newer version, but I got that from MSI and not ASUS :S - am downloading one from ASUS.com.tw now and seeing if that works.
However, somehow, by creating a new user account in WinXP, there appears to be no crashing when that user is active (computer was online for more than a day!), until I switched to the normal account and it crashes again ?( .
Among other things, the two MSI tabs in Display Properties I can get rid of thanks to this forum, and it's a shame the hardware monitor doesn't work due to it not actually being supported by the card X(
I haven't installed Ghost Recon yet, but I read there might be a problem there too?
I am seriously wondering whether to take this stuff back to the shop I got it from.
Any other suggestions?

adboehm,
Here are some error codes for you:
Quote
Bug Check 0x0A IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, which is defined as 0x0A, indicates that the driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or higher.
Bug Check 0xBE ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY, which is defined as 0xBE, indicates that the driver tried to write to a read-only memory segment.
Bug Check 0xC1 SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION, which is defined as 0xC1, indicates that the driver wrote to an invalid section of the special memory pool. Typically, the current thread's backtrace reveals the source of the error.
Bug Check 0xC4 DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION, which is defined as 0xC4, is the general bug check code for fatal errors that Driver Verifier finds. The accompanying parameters are the parameters that are passed to KeBugCheckEx and displayed on a blue screen.
Bug Check 0xC5 DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL, which is defined as 0xC5, indicates that the driver tried to access invalid memory at a process IRQL that was too high.
Bug Check 0xC6 DRIVER_CAUGHT_MODIFYING_FREED_POOL, which is defined as 0xC6, indicates that the driver tried to gain access to a freed memory pool.
Bug Check 0xC7 TIMER_OR_DPC_INVALID, which is defined as 0xC7, indicates that a kernel timer or DPC was found somewhere in memory where the kernel timer or DPC is not permitted. This condition is usually caused by a driver's not canceling the timer or the Delayed Procedure Call (DPC) before freeing the memory in which the timer or DPC resides.
Bug Check 0xC9 DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION, which is defined as 0xC9, is the bug check code for all I/O Driver Verifier violations.
Bug Check 0x50 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, which is defined as 0x50, is issued if invalid system memory is referenced.

  • GeForce FX5600 128 - Causes BSOD and STOP Error

    Hi everyone,
    I recently upgraded my Fathers computer from Win ME to XP (SP1), and I now cannot run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. It ran perfectly under ME, and I haven't changed any hardware during the upgrade.
    As soon as the game starts (plane on the runway) I get a blue screen and a 'STOP' error: *** STOP: 0x00000050 (0XC967C967, 0X00000000, 0X8053CDD1, 0x00000000)
    By turning off all 3dfx functions in the game settings, or by turning off hardware acceleration in Windows we have managed to get into the game, but the graphics are poor and so slow its unplayable.
    Apart from this, the system is working perfectly with no other problems when running normal windows apps. I have no other games to try the 3dfx functions on.
    The hardware configuration is:
    GeForce FX5600 128 graphics card
    512 mb RAM
    AMD Athlon 1.4Ghz processor.
    The software configuration is:
    Direct X 9b (same version as was being used to run the game under ME)
    Nvidia drivers tried:
    Nvidia VGA Driver 61.77 for Win XP/2000 (not WHQL)
    Nvidia VGA Driver available through windows update (WHQL – though I can't remember the driver number)
    Also tried an old driver 43.?? that came with the video card. The problem is always the same.
    I have run dxdiag and initially it told me that the 61.77 drivers were not WHQL certified. After then running windows update it downloaded a driver which shows as WHQL certified (I do not know the version of this driver), I ran dxdiag again, and the system reported no problems. I successfully completed all direct draw and direct 3d tests under the dxdiag program, with no problems reported.
    I have been in contact with Microsoft FS9 support initially, who later passed me to the operating system department as they had no luck in finding the fault. They tell me its a hardware issue and I should contact the manufacturer.  
    So far I have tried creating a (completely bare) parallel Windows XP installation and running the game in that, again the same problem occurs.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this problem? I have an opportunity this weekend to remove XP and go back to ME, which I am planning to do unless anyone has any thoughts on how I might fix this issue?
    Many thanks in advance, John

    Been running the Memtest86+ overnight on one stick and it came up with some 1690 errors... 
    Just stuck the other in now and leaving it run for a couple of hours... Not holding my breath though. Already sent my supplier an email to expect them in the post for a refund. Time to go down the old branded RAM route. Any suggestions for rock solid RAM that won't break the bank?
    Thanks once again fellas,

  • Start and stop error for performance counter in Perfmon of Windows server 2008

    Dear All,
    There is a centralized monitoring server to monitor a few Windows server 2003.
    There is a error when I start the performance counter for remote servers.
    But it can be started again after 10 seconds.
    Error:
    When attempting to start the Data Collector Set the following system error occured:
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
    Another issue is I cannot start or stop the performance counter in command line (logman.exe) after 1 month.
    The error message is similar to the above, it mentioned something is using the files.
    I have to reboot my server.
    I don't know how can I find out the root cause.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Tommy Chan

     
    Dear Tommy,
    This issue may be caused by certain programs running in the background.
    If it is convenience for you to restart the server, you can do that and test the result.
    If the issue persists, you can try a Clean Boot.
    Clean boot
    =================
    Let’s disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:
    1. Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
    Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.
    2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
    3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
    Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
    Please test this issue in the Clean Boot environment, if the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, we can use a 50/50 approach to quickly narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
    If the issue still occurs, we may need to collect some trace information of the error message by using Process Monitor.
    1. Download process monitor from the link given here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
    2. Run the process monitor on the problematic server:

  • Trying to delete widget code and stop Error message

    I am a little new to CS4:  and receiving an validation error message  on a page about a accordion widget still being on my page and ppotential  problems at runtime.  I look and it is greyed out so i  am not able to remove(delete) the error offending line.  I had  originally removed the accordion widget on purpose but in the process of  removing everything else ( script, etc.) I think I did the removal in  the wrong  sequence or something.
    Can anyone please give  me suggestions on how I might fully remove this widget error line so I  can clean up my code and ensure a clean run.
    thx

    here is the message  I receive when I open the page in CS4
    This document contains javascript code of a widget that no longer exists.
    If you don't remove the code, the browser might displayjavascript errors when loading the page.
    would you like Dreamweaver to find all instances of this code for you???
    widget:var Accordion1=newSpry.Widget.Accordion("cmp_panningcards")
    then shows line inside code, but grayed out so I cannot delete....

  • Mdwrite and mdworker errors etc

  • Stop Errors in Windows XP with K7N2-ILSR....need help!

    Hello,
    i recently received  a replacement for a K2N2-ILSR mobo and i am still having BIG problems with it. With the first mobo, installation of Windows XP w/SP1 simply would not complete. The installation kept crashing and STOP ERRORS like 0x8E, 0x0A would appear and random points of the process (i tried to install them more than 20 times). The CPU was an XP 1800+ and memory was 2 DDR400 sticks of not so good quality (cheapest i could find...at that point i did not know that the mobo was so picky with memory). The Graphics card is a FX5200. PSU was 350W. When i checked the system BIOS i show a CPU temperature reading of 85 degrees! Of course, the CPU was nowhere around 45 at that moment (which i verified by testing it on another mobo). I suspected that the motherboard was faulty and returned it. In the meantime, i figured out about these issues with Nforce2 and memory, so i decided to upgrade everything. I bought a Barton XP 2500+, 2 Crucial DDR400 256MB sticks and a new Enermax 450W PSU. I tried them on the new mobo, but guess what...XP w/SP1 still did not install! I finally tried to install XP w/out SP1 and everything worked fine! Or so i thought so....after 3 weeks of working with it i STILL get STOP errors, mainly 0x0A and 0x8E.
    Could anybody PLEASE help me?
    Thank you very much,
    flash

    Is it a Deskstar if so IBM have issued a firmware upgrade for those drives Here to stop them doing the funcky chicken.

  • Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?

    Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?

    I am so upset. Please read my messages from my postings. This has nothing to do with SIM Card, Hard Reset, Apps, Google Gmail Account, nothing. I have gone thru all of this and NOTHING has fixed this. I went to the store today and spoke to the manager on duty. He said he had to try and duplicate the problem before he could help me. I showed him "screen captures" I did, told him it's out here on the board, etc. etc. Needless to say I ended up coming home with the same phone, "he" erased the phone and started over again. Well guess what, it's not a error with "MY" Gmail account being corrupted because if that is the case Mrs. Hayden14 has a bad Gmail account too. If you guessed it, the phone just crashed again! I was able this time to capture a report with ALL the history in it and saved screen captures to PROVE to him this is not a joke. Even the report says "Crash". This time it was something else I don't even or ever have used. I have also wasted over a day , yes a full work day on this without question.
    I have had to get the run around for the last day. This is totally ridiculous, including them putting me on hold for 55 min. Oh, that's another funny story. Anyways, tomorrow morning I am going to the Verizon store one last and final time and I hope they decided to do the right thing and give me a phone that does not crash and works. It would be handy at work for me, especially where I work at. I hope hope hope someone listens to and helps me. I would love for them to see me walk in, take my phone and say to me were going to get you another phone, hand it to me, see if it works and prove it's the device. I don't hear anyone having this issue on other phone types so sounds like its the phone type.
    I have had 3 phones now in the matter of 2 weeks. I am sure the FedEx charges will add up to a cost of a new phone at some point and start to outbalance your requirement to give me the same phone when it has the same problem.
    Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.

  • Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

    Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • MSI K72N Delta LSR - windows XP keeps stop codes and serious errors Puzzled why

    hi,
       System specs
    AMD sempron 2400
    512mb DDR PC3200 ( 2 x 256nb Matrix module brand memory written on chips )
    MSI K7N2 Delta LSR ( lastest Bios )
    Onboard sound - Enabled
    Onboard lan - Disabled
    Liteon DVD Rom
    CD-RW 52x
    ATI Radeon 9550 ( installed at moment )
    before was a Nvidia FX5700 LE took back faulty as tried radeon 9800 pro and was ok for a couple hours
    got Nvidia FX 5500 - faulty fan making noise on boot.
    Ive built a System up and its been running fine for a few months and then 1 day system crashed and got windows recovered from serious error and and wound't shut down but only restart.
    Replaced memory that was in and checked with mem99 and said it was faults so replaced memory and shutdown problem vanished.
    Few days later windows xp started saying recovered from serious error again with stop codes
    0x0000050
    Bccode 10000050
    Bccode 1000008e
    Bccode 1000000a
    Stop Code D1
    They was the stop codes been getting since, some said Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area, IRQL_not_less or Equal
    Im puzzled what the problem can be know, even tried reformatting and reinstalling windows twice and not solved it, tried a another cdrom drive and still same.
    Im puzzled what the problem can be.

    Temps are fine running about 45'c in windows and max about 52'c when in full load ive got motherboard monitor on all time monitering temps and also recording and save out log file when turned off for temps.
    Its a retail boxed AMD Sempron which i dont think much to the stock heatsink and fan ( Athlon 64bit ones are loads better copper base and heat compound instead of sticky pad )
    The new memory is only think is got whats wrote on the memory modules is called Matrix, I know from past experience's when u reinstall windows and files cant copy across ok and keeps saying cant read file etc or cant copy file during installation thats indication bad memory strip, ive even got a memory thats fault ( i only use for testing and diagnostic ) as 1 of the memory modules comes up fault in memtest96 and even tried that and still same, thats how i found out in first place memory was causing system not to shutdown properly.
    What i can try is my memory as ive got 1.5gig in Elixir branded and i know thats ok 100% with nforce 2 boards as i had a MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and ran elixir memory with np, before i got a Gigabyte KT880 board.
    Antivirus ive got running on system at the moment is AVG and always used it all time, it dont use any cpu usage and also saved my system loads from virus as it caught them as they tried to run and stop them, something norton's dont seem to do very well.
    I give modem a try on a USB hub but its strange when u unplug USB its ok and NTL recommends when modem stops working to unplug power from back modem and leave it a while and it comes back on, done this in past successfully but this time its blue screening, Which could be part of windows main files are corrupted. The USB Modem is running of its own PSU so shound't be using USB power at all, if it was that explain blue screen when taking power off as it do it when taking usb out.
    Error codes ive watched a Microsoft web broadcast ( over a hour long ) about error codes and 40% of them are software + hardware related combined they make it sound so easy to diagnose them but in reality unless u know windows 100% its hard to.
    Harddrive seems to copy files ok across and back, i have to try another Harddrive and see but from past experiences when Harddrives are about to fail windows seems to stall, lockup and also just stop responding when accessing certain programs or files.
    Its a confusing 1 as u solve 1 piece of puzzle another comes up and throws u off track again.
    Looking that all parts ive replaced so far have solved 1 or another problem to only reveal another hidden, PC's who have them lol
    If i solve it i post my finding np it keep me busy for a couple days testing things, u learn something new every day with pc's new faults and problems and how to solve them, try too lol
    And most of time its compatibility problems but odd times hardware or software.

  • MSI K9A Platinum and VIA drivers issue? XP 0x0000007B stop error.

    I get a Windows Stop error when trying to boot into Windows XP with new components. The SATA hard drive (and Windows XP installation) is from the old computer.
    The new computer components are:
    MB: MSI K9A Platinum, chipset: RD580 (North Bridge), SB600 (South Bridge)
    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+, boxed (the cooler and fan came with the CPU).
    Video: MSI Radeon 1950 XTX
    The old (and working) computer setup is:
    OS: XP Professional
    MB: Abit AV8-3rd Eye, chipset: VIA K8T800Pro + VT8237
    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
    Video: Sapphire Radeon 9800Pro All-in-Wonder, videodriver: atidvag.dll version 6.14.10.6542
    HD: Maxtor 6B200M0 SCSI Disk Device
    BIOS: Phoenix 6.00PG 20.04.2005
    System drivers with "via" in the name: VIAAGP1.SYS, viaide.sys, viasride.sys
    VIA 4in1 (Hyperion) version: 4.55 (that can be found at HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Via4in1Driver).
    VIA 2.20e SATA/RAID driver was used when installing this computer setup.
    The precise stop error is:
    0x0000007B (0xba4c3528, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    From many sites I have gathered that the error is related to Windows XP not being able to access a critical system drive. Most probably the SATA hard drive issue.
    The problem probably is the VIA drivers of the old motherboard and/or the SATA driver.
    First I should mention, that MSI K9A Platinum does not have a hard disk SATA driver. If it does, I have been unable to find one. Certainly no such floppy disk included, and no such driver in the MSI's Web page for this motherboard.
    Second important point: I never used RAID. I did use VIA 2.20e SATA/RAID driver disk when installing Windows XP to the old computer.
    Strange that the hard drive model is reported as a "SCSI Disk Device". It's not a SCSI drive however: it's a SATA disk.
    I have tried to uninstal the motherboard chipset drivers (Hyperion v4.55), but there seems to be a bug here: the drivers should be uninstalled using the installation program, and select the uninstall option. However, I do not get the uninstallation option to choose at all! Yes, I'm using the normal installation mode, not the quick installation (although tried that, too). The Hyperion setup program just installs, and asks to reboot the computer. After rebooting and trying again, it still does not offer me an uninstallation choise.
    I know how to install hard drive VIA SATA driver, but I have no idea how to uninstall it. And I'm afraid to do that without certainty that it IS the solution, since I could not access the hard drive any more in the old computer setup (and return to read this forum). Also, I do not have a floppy drive any more. Anyone know if there is an issue with K9A and XP having VIA SATA driver installed?
    When I tried the new computer setup, I first tried the simplest possible hardware combination: there were no CD/DVD-drives, no (parallel)IDE hard drives, and no PCI cards, except the MSI video adapter.
    My BIOS Setup experiments. None of these helped: got the same stop error each time.
    1) I didn't much touch the BIOS setting first. Just tried to boot with the settings BIOS came with.
    2) Next I disabled the integrated audio, LAN and IEE1394 devices and floppy drive and disabled all other choises except the SATA drive as a boot device.
    3) Next I tried with the fail-safe BIOS defaults.
    4) Cleared CMOS.
    5) Changed OnChip SATA type from Native IDE to Legacy IDE. (Only one boot attempt with the setting as Legacy.)
    6) Disabled PCI IDE BusMaster.
    7) Never touched anything in the Cell Menu: so the settings are in minimum.
    A step I have taken after the last attempt: run Windows XP hard drive error-checking tool to every logical drive with the fix option selected, and the system drive also with scan the bad sectors option selected.
    My plans next are:
    1) to install a newer Hyperion driver. If that would correct the no-unistallation-choice-bug,
    2) to disable USB-devices in the BIOS (desperate),
    3) to choose the Windows general video display driver (although I seriously doubt this is a display driver problem!).
    4) to uninstall the Anti-Virus software (Avira Antivir).
    I've read a numerous Web pages so far about the 0x0000007B stop error. Here are some links:

    Stop 0x0000007B or INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
    This Stop message, also known as Stop 0x7B, indicates that Windows XP Professional lost access to the system volume or boot volume during the startup process. This error always occurs while the system is starting and is often caused by one of the following:
        * Hardware problems
        * Corrupted or incompatible storage drivers
        * File system problems
        * Boot sector viruses
        * Outdated firmware
    During I/O system initialization, this error can occur when:
        * The controller or driver for the startup device (typically the hard disk) failed to initialize the necessary hardware.
        * File system initialization failed because the system did not recognize the data on the boot device.

    You receive a Stop 0x0000007B error after you move the Windows XP system disk to another computer
    SYMPTOMS
    After you move the Microsoft Windows XP system (boot) disk to a backup computer, you may receive the following Stop error when you try to start the Windows XP-based backup computer:
    STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF741B84C,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
    CAUSE
    This error may occur if the registry entries and the drivers for the mass storage controller hardware in the backup computer are not installed in Windows XP.
    RESOLUTION
    To resolve this error, use the same hardware for the backup computer.
    Heh, heh! Very nice Microsoft, but I plan to update my computer, so I NEED to use different components

    Device Driver Issues
    You may receive a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message in the following scenarios:
    •   A device driver that the computer boot controller needs is not configured to start during the startup process.
    •   A device driver that the computer boot controller needs is corrupted.
    •   Information in the Windows XP registry (information related to how the device drivers load during startup) is corrupted.
    Hardware Issues
    You may receive a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message if there is a resource conflict between the boot controller and another controller or between SCSI devices. You may also receive this Stop error message if drive translation is not being performed or if drive translation was changed. To troubleshoot this issue:
    1.   If an IRQ or I/O port address conflict exists between the boot controller and another controller, Windows XP either stops responding (hangs) or displays a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message. If you recently added new hardware, remove the new hardware or reconfigure it so that it does not conflict with the resources of any other installed controllers.
    2.   If you are using a SCSI hard disk, check the SCSI chain for correct termination. Remove any unused SCSI devices or make sure that each SCSI ID is unique.
    3.   Make sure that drive translation is turned on (if it is required) and that it has not been changed. For example, if you recently switched controllers, this issue may occur.

    SYMPTOMS
    When you start your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer after you replace the motherboard on the computer, you may receive a Stop error message that is similar to the following:
    STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE
    CAUSE
    This issue may occur if the new motherboard contains an embedded IDE controller that has a different chipset than the original motherboard.
    RESOLUTION
    Method 1: Perform an in-place upgrade of Windows XP [<- That means repair installation of Windows XP]
    •   Do not use a repair or in-place upgrade if you suspect disk problems.
    Method 2: Repartition and format your hard disk and reinstall Windows XP

    Alright I got the situation over.

    I did try all all the above, and none of them helped.
    And by the way: after installing the new Hyperion (VIA chipset drivers), I was finally able to also uninstall. It also uninstalled the IDE SATA (I think) and PATA drivers.
    But what I had to do, was to make a REPAIR installation of Windows XP.
    So, I was wondering now afterwards: this is really, really silly. Why the hell we need to re-install Windows if we move the SYSTEM SATA drive to another computer? We don't have similar problem with parallel IDE drives. Whom should we thank here??
    The issue is to insert the driver files and the information of the ide drivers Windows should use with the next boot. How can it be this difficult?
    What you basically need is..
    - the information about the new chipset's PCIIDE.SYS/[VENDOR_PROVIDED_FILE].SYS and ATAPIIDE.SYS inserted into the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetXXX\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase
    - and the vendor's IDE drivers to the %SYSTEMROOT%/System32/drivers folder.
    Maybe something else, I don't know. But the problem was, Windows didn't know how, or what drivers to use. That can't be so big problem you need to install the whole OS anew!

    I
    1. uninstalled HP from my computer (checked to ensure that my printer was no longer visible in my printers and the HP Utility software was nowhere to be found), 
    2. grabbed the software/driver update from Aug, 2010,
    3. installed the Aug, 2010 update, and my problems seem to have been fixed.

  • The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.

    The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.
    All was normal until the icon for the disk stopped showing up on the desktop when I would plug it in. I rebooted the computer, and the disk icon now shows up but this new look to the finder window started as a result. The hard disk does not have this problem when I use it on another Mac running Snow leopard. Also, two other external hard disks that I use on this computer running lion 7.4 still have the normal header bars with columns that can be reordered, etc.
    I have tried looking in preferences and other places but have not seen this discussed. 

    Well duh - I finally figured out that somehow in the View options for the hard drive, the "arrange by" option had been changed to "by date" from "none". Not sure how that happened, I had never used the "view options" menu tem before. Changing "arrange by" back to "none" gets the gray column headers and the collapsible folder icons back.

    The upgrade I'm interested is for OS X  v.10.8.5...
    ...The App Store page shows 2 different upgrades:   
    Mountain Lion  (10.8.5)  Software Upgrade,  and
    Yosemite FREE upgrade
    If the App Store is showing 10.8.5 as an update, what do you currently have installed? The final update to Mountain Lion was 10.8.5, and since the basic OS installation of Mountain Lion is no longer offered in the App Store, that would suggest you're currently at an earlier version of Mountain Lion - 10.8.x where x=less than 5. If that's the case, I'd suggest getting the 10.8.5 update. There is also a Supplemental Update for 10.8.5 and that may be what the App Store is offering.
