    Strange Issue with my monitor

    Sounds to me like your monitor doesn't support a higher resolution even though your video card of chip set may. Have you looked up the specs for that monitor to see what it's supported resolution is?

    best network media player/streamer for various file types?

    Before I built my own plex server I had really good luck using a WDTV Live streaming box. It has easy network integration and I believe it plays up to 1080p. The model was one of these WDBHG70000NBK, WDBHG70000NBK-HESN. Personally if you have an old PC and a little time I would recommend...

    Using same HDD in two computers

    Your best bet would be to invest a little money into a WD Passport drive that you can sync your data between your home pc and school, very easy to set up and well worth the money.

    Windows 7 Home Premium --> Ultimate

    Why would you need the Premium cd key? If you're upgrading to Ultimate, the Ultimate software should have it's own cd key on the package. Unless of course the Ultimate your upgrading to isn't a legitimately purchased copy, if this is the case, I doubt you'll find any help on this forum for...

    XP Pro fails to boot after successful 1st half of install

    Are you going into your system bios settings and selecting the first boot device to be CD? If it will not boot automatically, then your best bet is to go into the system bios on boot up and change your first boot device to be CDROM. Then reboot and it should boot from the cd automatically.

    cannot find eachother

    Be sure they both belong to the same Workgroup, look under my computer properties under the NAME tab. Also if you are running software firewalls, be sure they are both trusting the network ips they're on and allow ping requests.

    installing problem

    Are you trying this install on a freshly formatted drive or partition? Or are you installing over an existing install? Always be sure to format the HD before trying a fresh install of windows. If this is not the issue, then it could be a faulty ram issue.

    installing problem

    Yah, I'm thinking he doesn't have enough ram installed. Although he said he was unable to read the error, it went off too quick. Can you hit the Break key or something to freeze the screen in order to read the error message before it goes off?
