    EVE Online Patch Accidentally Bricks XP

    Confirmed that this does delete boot.ini , it happened to me. I run Windows XP SP2, however I rebooted, received an error like "boot.ini not found, booting as normal", then it booted windows anyway. However, the issue ONLY affects users who have windows XP installed on the non-primary boot...

    Sony PS3 event causes outrage

    I don't see what's so wrong about this. If the goat was slaughtered humanely, there should be no outrage. If it wasn't slaughtered humanely, we should probably throw the people out in the hot sun on a fire ant hill, and cut off their eyelids so they have to stare at the sun until they die...

    Recommended Games?

    Well of course there is Oblivion, and the expansion for it just came out, Shivering Isles. You can get that for PC or Xbox 360 - it looks better on PC if you have a nice computer. If you want some old school, try Baldur's Gate 2 for the PC, that's from 1998 though, although it's really fun...

    GREAT MMORPG for everyone to enjoy.!!!!

    Yeah, my stepdad played this game for a little while. Then he discovered WoW. So, the point is, play WoW and save yourself the time of having to level up twice.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Mods

    Another really useful "mod" is the widescreen monitor FOV fixer, http://wsgfmedia.com/uploads/paddywak/screenshots/stalker/stalkerFOV.zip Makes it so you can see everything on the screen that you're supposed to see, just use the readme and it should make everything hunky dory.

    Demo games that rule but full version sucks?

    I refuse to buy Battlefield 2142. I won't pay $50 to have ads served to me. I can get those ads for free, thank you.

    Demo games that rule but full version sucks?

    An awesome demo is the Unreal Tournament 2004 demo, man, all that deathmatch and they've always been so kind as to patch it. As for Thief, that game was amazing, I bought that back when I was 12 and I was allowed one game a month. Downloading the Thief 2 demo on dialup, all 250 megs of it, was...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Mods

    Why would I want to use a mod that gives me a ridiculously cheap suit with extremely strong resistances? My favorite part of the game was how gimpy I was, and how HARD it was to get to being a walking juggernaut (like I was, except I patched, hoping the save game converter will come out soon)...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stole nothing

    I'm glad to hear this. I really enjoy the game, the multiplayer seems to have a lot of potential, hopefully they'll keep developing it and refine the game modes. The single player is an experience unlike anything I've played before, it has enough RPG elements to be interesting, but not so many...

    NVIDIA to shrink G72 to make G78

    I'm confused. I assume you mean that the G72 will a 65 nm version of the G78? Or vice versa?

    Stuttering on dual core processor

    Hi, I've used atitool for a long time, and I love it - however I've noticed there's a stuttering problem with my dual core processor. All I have to do to fix it is set the processor affinity to one core, and I've patched the exe to do that all the time - but I was wondering if there was a...

    Newbie tips for X1900XTX-card?

    Have you tried setting processor affinity man? All you do is go into task manager, right click on the process HL2.exe, and click "set affinity", then uncheck one of the processor cores, and HL2 should work fine. I have that same problem :laugh: . That should fix it, it thrashes between the two...

    Newbie tips for X1900XTX-card?

    Okay, something really important to keep in mind is that the x1900 uses 3d and 2d clocks, the 3d clocks are 655 mhz core, and 775 memory. The 2d clocks are 500 core, and 600 memory. What atitool does is disable the clock changing, and takes control itself over the clock speeds. So when you're...

    RDX200 Problem - Tracing

    Well, it turns out that it WAS my PSU. I just got done running Civ 4 for 4 hours (usually would crash between 5minutes to 1 hour in). God, I tried everything, but now I have an OCZ 600 watt, hah. over 200 bucks, damned right it'd better fix it. And it did! So the moral of the story is, the X1800...

    RDX200 Problem - Tracing

    Hello, I'm new to posting on the forums, as I've never seen a need to post. However, I recently upgraded my computer, replacing my CPU, motherboard, and video card. I bought an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+, a DFI Lanparty RDX200, and, slightly more recently, a brand new ATi Radeon X1800 XT. I have a...
