    Problem with Windows Explorer (I think)

    My uncle phoned me up with a computer problem, and I went over to try and fix it up a bit. It is a real stumper though, or it is to me at any rate. After fixing up alot of spyware and junk and providing him with the programs to avoid those issues in the future, he also remarked about another...

    Denzel Washington to play Master Chief ? (link)

    The rumour says MC, but since it is a rumour has anyone considered the possibility that Denzel could be on board to play none other than Sergeant Johnson? I think that might be a pretty cool role for him. Just speculating.

    Oblivion PC performance

    Clawhammer 3400+ X800 Pro 1 Gb Value Select Other non-impressive bits. 1024x768 High + bloom and 2xAA, as well as all the draw distances and goodies turned up to full. I get 30+ frames constantly. I am very impressed, both with the game and my computer. FTW.

    Buggiest games ever thread! List them.....

    Kotor 2 is a bad one, the worst recent game IMO. I gave up playing because of... BAD. Black Hawk Down made me cry alot as well. I remember Outpost.. not sure if I couldnt progress far because I sucked or because the game was buggy/arbitrary. Probably both. I give 100 pts to whomever...

    Copying movies out of an imbedded quicktime file

    Or something like that. I for the life cant find any way to effectively copy a movie out of a quicktime player thats imbedded in the page, so that you cant save it the easy way. Any progs anyone know of that can do this? I am kind of a in a pickle, as I would normally use my comp, but she is...

    What about Thermaltakes?

    I've got me a TT 420 PP... and she just fried half the components in my case. I would be quite mad, but I've found a silver lining in not having a comp for a few weeks. I get alot more reading done and I wont goof around when I should be working on final papers. BTW I am speaking from one of our...

    Curious about other experiences with WD

    Well, I had that suspicion, but A) I cant afford a good new PSU now and B) it SHOULDNT.. I went semi budget with a ThermalTake 420 PP, but I did check alot of different reviews of it. They all seemed to say the stability of the lines was pretty good except under heavy draw, and my system isnt...

    Curious about other experiences with WD

    Well to be fair I've owned half a dozen WD's previous to these two, but they were all unremarkable, though reliable, drives. I am just kinda miffed that 2 new drives died so soon. It would have been enough of a push to send me to another company - cept nobody else has something like the Raptor...

    Curious about other experiences with WD

    I bought 2 WD 80gb 7200 for my computer last august/september. Since then they have both died - one over Xmas, very inoccuous and inasuspicious death. Just stopped working. And just this weekend I lost my other in a large puff of acrid smoke. For roughly 4 and 6 months, respectively, I am not...

    Stall during bootup

    Hehe it made itself abundantly clear to me. I was checking the IDE stuff.. I tried a new cable, all that jazz. Unplugging the HD got me further along the boot, so I decided to check it out in another comp just to make sure. I took it out and plugged it into my father's computer to see if it...

    Stall during bootup

    Ok to clarify some (my bad there). I did not change the CPU in my computer, but my father's. His works great, and I did nothing to my computer except unplug and plug it back in. Was about an hour between when I took it off and put it back. This is part of my flabbergastedness. By random I meant...

    Stall during bootup

    Alright, this completely stumps me. I had my computer all hooked to the monitor, etc. I took it off and plugged in my old man's computer so I could test out the 3000+ I just put in it. Worked like a beauty. I take it out and plug mine in, and no post. wtfbbq... so I tooled around with stuff to...

    Tech Report: "ATI's Fake Price Cuts" on X800XL

    Lamp, CompuSmart is (was around here at least) selling the X800XLs BBA for 299.. I wish I had a PCI-e mobo, because thats a MAD deal. Fake edit: Yah, I guess it must have been a deal, since the Saph is up at 399 now. Still isnt that bad, considering the lowest GT or Pro is usually around 520...

    HL2 without internet connect

    I like how people assume both my tone and what I have done from a single post. I realize that yes, it could easily be misconstrued as elitist thought. My bad there. Otherwise, my points stand. Its just a good idea to check stuff out before you go with it, whats the problem with thinking before...

    HL2 without internet connect

    It says under requirements "Internet Connection needed", so in all honesty, people should pay more attention. Yah yah I know Steam is the devil and all that, whatever. Bitch about the fact that you DO need a connection if you want, but it must be one helluva place yer at if you cant get the...
