Are you upgrading to Windows XP? YES/NO?

[Ingrid]

Do you see yourself sticking to XP or are you tempted to switch back to W98? <i></i>

I've been talking to a friend of mine online & he's really suggesting windows XP if your computer can support it, especially on a NTSF partition (what NT uses)<
><
>He does suggest that you clean out your hard drive for a clean installation if you have to keep your FAT32 partition (if you don't know what partition you have... now would be a good time to nod along & assume that you have a FAT32 partition...) so that you can prevent file conflicts. <i></i>

I've heard that if you use the pc mainly for games and internet FAT 32 is better because then your pc will be faster. I don't know if this is true though. I use FAT 32 by the way. <
><
>And I upgraded it to XP, is it better to do an installation from scratch? I didn't got any file conflicts yet. <i></i>

[TStodden]

I heard that it's better to by my friend who's a Canadian computer expert (Nemo Nint introduced each other), but if there's no conflicts so far... that's great to hear!<

I think I will keep using XP, it crashed for no reason twice right after I installed it. But that hasn't happened again. And ME didn't load my videocard drivers properly at certain times and that hasn't happened with XP yet. So I guess it's a littlebit better than ME. <i></i>

[Ingrid]

Do you have a video capture card or a video import device hooked up your USB, Sir Zhype? <i></i>

[zhype]

I have a video card that I installed in a slot of my pc. So not an import USB device. <i></i>

[Ingrid]

Hmmm..I see. I know those are needed to transfer videos into CD roms.... <i></i>

[zhype]

Huh? Why do you need a videocard to do that? <i></i>

[CORVETTE GIRL]

Yeah, that's the stuff you need to transfer home videos into a CD rom. <i></i>

[zhype]

I don't use it for that though. Just to play videogames and stuff. <i></i>

[Ingrid]

Yeah, I recently found out about that when I asked what was needed to transfer home video movies to CD Roms. I think it's kinda neat to be able to store home movies that way. <i></i>

[zhype]

It is a good way to store videos. A friend of mine has a lot of videos that he is transferring onto his pc. He edits them too with his pc. But those videos take up a lot of space though. <i></i>

[Ingrid]

Could you find out what kind of software does he use for that? <i>Edited by: Ingrid  at: 11/26/01 5:15:45 pm<

There's only type of movie editor that I know of & that's Monoposoft's Window Movie Editor & that's somewhat of a crappy program since it takes up 300 MB's minimum for editing space. <i></i>
