Does your computer restart suddenly?
This problem maybe cause by viruses or an error but if the windows tells you that the computer restarted to de protected from hardware damage or tha there are errors in RAMs you should know that your RAMs are often well and the problem is in a new hardware you have connected to your PC ,but you may say that you didn't connect any new hardware ,then you should make sure that your power supply is working well as it mainly causes this problem.You should also make sure that your DVD/CD ROM is working well as if the mechanical parts of them stopped ,the windows will shut down at once to prevent the damage.

DirectX 10 for windows XP
There is no official version of Microsoft DirectX 10 for windows XP and I searched the web to find any working DirectX 10 for XP but I found that they are all fake except one. I downloaded this program and found that there are many unwanted files come with it and also a song! I deleted them then tried to install the program and it was completed successfully. Then I restarted my computer to view what's the result. It works properly and I tested my computer to view the directx version and I found that it was DirectX 10 and I also test a game to see the change and it was beautiful experience. But WARNING this program add two site to your favorites in you web browser and these sites can install spyware on your computer and one of them called " DirectX 10" and the other called "MA" which mean the Massive Attack web site.
You can download it from medaupload without any unwanted files Here.

What will you do if Quick Time asks for a CD to run a normal video file ?
In some cases when you try to open a multimedia file with Quick Time player,it asks you to put a CD into the CD drive to open that file although it is on the hard disk. The quick solution to this problem is to put any CD into the CD Drive, but the real reason for this problem is that you have added a file that was on a CD or DVD to the favorites menu and for an unknown reason ,the program must check if this file is exist on the CD before opening the file you want open at that moment. So, you should remove the file from the favorites or delete all the favorites by this method: open the folder " Documents and settings " then "All users" then open " Application data " then "Quick Time".
Search for the file " quicktimefavorites.qtr " then delete it. Restart your computer and this problem will completely disappear.
