    Unreal Tournament 2003

    ;( Beware of the new game UT 2003. I just purchased the game this afternoon and when I opened it up I was quite suprised. First of all after paying the rather big price for it, I found out they did not even include a jewel case for the 3 CDs. Then after opening it I decided to install it. One of the first things it asks for is the CD key. In the same box that you enter the CD key it says to look at the jewel case for it. What jewel case? I just got 3 paper CD sleeves. I then went to Planetunreal for assistance. It said: "The CD-Key you are asked for when installing the game is available on the back cover of the manual you received in your game box, in the white portion on the lower part of the cover. It is four sets of five alphanumeric characters. When entering it, you may enter the letters in lower or uppercase, but be sure to include the hyphens between each set of five characters." OK. I looked at the manual and I could not find a CD key anywhere. So I read on and it then says: "If you do not have a CD-Key on the back of your manual, we will be happy to exchange your manual for one that does. The entire manual needs to be sent back to us for replacement; we regret that we cannot accept faxed or scanned copies. Please contact Consumer Services at the phone number at the top of this document, select Unreal Tournament 2003 from the menu, and follow the appropriate prompts to be put in contact with a member of our support team who can issue you an RMA number with which to exchange your manual." What kind of product are they selling? What iritates me is that they cannot even provide a $2 jewel case for their CDs and then they want you to send in the complete manual to get a CD key that they should have provided. All at your cost. I dont know how long it would take to get a replacement manual and CD key because I returned it for a new one but I would think that it could take several weeks. I think that it stupid to have to deal with a company with bad tech support and quality control like this. ;(

    Win2k Pro - 10 User Limit Question

    Windows 200 Professional has a limit of a total of 10 connections. It does not matter if it is servers or workstations or a combination of both. Your workstation (server) should not count as a connection on the PC.

    got a problem with drive installation

    I would check the jumpers on the drives. One should be the master and the other should be on secondary. You could also put both to cable select. Lastly you could check the manufacturers website for support.

    Lock out local admin account on NT4

    I would just rename the administrator to something that will not be easily guessed and then create a Administrator account with very little rights or permessions as possible. Quote: You can't delete or disable built in accounts on NT through the users console, so I'm still at a bit of a loss. You are correct sir. Administrator and Guest cannot be deleted because they are built in accounts.

    SLOW ASS RECYCLE BIN

    do you by haps have a shreader installed on the computer? The newer versions of Mcafee have a shreading program built in to them.

    XP Crashes on Reboot

    Check for the Blaster worm. I had to patch about 1500 PCs at work and it causes all kinds of havok on systems. Also make sure you have the most recent dat files. Just because you installed all the patches does not mean that you cannot catch it. The patch only closes the exploit not protect you from the worm.

    Not sure of video editing needs

    I agree with Sapiens74. I would go with the Intel processor and hyper-threading. Hyper-threading will help lessen the amount of time to compile and if he will burn it to a DVD, the rendering time. If I remember correctly on benchmark test the AMD processor usually does better for graphics but do not have anything like Intels hyperthreading to help process information. SCSI would help a great deal also. Adobe products are beasts themselves and if you have the best processor out there, will make any task that much easier. If it work that is purchasing it why not buy the best rig that you can. Time is money. AMD had chipsets that will handle dual processors but are not exactly the greatest on performance. Intel chipsets are usually supported by any M$ product with out adding extra drivers and are usually very stable but the boards are usually a littel more expensive.

    Sounds funny that a sp would conflict with a M$ driver.

    Terminal server

    go into local security policies and in the security settings group give that user the ability to log in locally and that should be it. One other thing is that if you set the TS to be only accessed for administration, only 2 users can connect and both must be admins. If you set the TS for general use you must set up a license server within 90 days of setting up TS. The License server will connect to Micro$oft to check for licenses.

    Onboard NIC Problem....

    Quote: Here's a new and exciting problem with my onboard NIC. I have the P4P800 board by Asus flashed to the 1008 revision bios, Windows XP SP1 and all drivers updated. Even AFTER formatting and reinstalling Windows XP, I still get: "404 Error: Page not Found" when trying to view certain pages on the internet, however, when I switch to my secondary NIC (PCI Slot), it works 100% fine. What exactly is going on? Is it a setting I may have wrong somewhere? I have even tried selecting "Automatically detect settings" in the LAN settings in IE, and I have also tried other browsers such as Netscape and Opera, both give me the same error. Any help would be great. I have had several issues with Windows XP and network cards that all of a sudden start failing. The problem is probably with Windows XP. I noticed on several of my PCs that sometimes when you change things it corrupts the tcp/ip protocal stacks so bad that the only thing you can do is re-install the whole OS. All the OSs previous to Windows XP syou could uninstall TCP/IP and then reinstall it. With Windows XP they intigrated TCP/IP inside of the OS that you sometimes cannot make any changes or it blows up the protocol. Give you a example: On my laptop I installed cisco vpn client on it for use on the standard NIC connected to my computer. When I installed the wireless card it would not get a IP or communicate with my network. After doing a system restore the network worked again but only if used the standard nic any attempt to use the wireless nic blew it up.

    Check out the poll on cnn.com

    I agree. Hulk would win. He could just crush the Terminator into a billion pieces. The second Terminator would be a bit more challenging but I think he could think of something such as throwing him into deep space or something like that.

    According to Intels website these are the ram requirements for the 800fsb processor: RAM Dual Channel DDR 400/333 Dual Channel RDRAM PC 1066/800 DDR 333/266/200 SDRAM

    USB on WIN NT 4.0

    Yes it can be done. If you look on the internet you can find some links to files that will add the USB support to NT. I have one that we had used at work but now if a machine needs USB and and has high enough specs we just upgrade it to W2k. Be aware that you will probably only be able to find support for USB 1 only.

    Best "Free" Popup killers? HELP!!!

    Try Free surfer MKII. It works great and also it can stop gif ads. I think the address is: www.webattack.com
  24. Try this: The problem is with using Windows Explorer to modify security settings globally on a partition, directories, and files. This is in fact a less than optimum method of applying security settings. A more appropriate method is to execute the following command line from the root of the partition: (Note: If you are not at the root of the partition in question you must set your default there: CD /D drive_name: ) Now the command line: CACLS * /e /t /c /g Administrators:F System:F (Note: If you see the message, ''Unable to perform a security operation on an object which has no associated security,'' you are executing this from a FAT partition. You must set the default to an NTFS partition.) This command will edit (/e) the ACLs, rather than replace them, and recursively apply them (/t) to subdirectories. CACLS will continue (/c) even when it hits an open file. Any number of ACCOUNT:PERM parameters may follow the grant (/g) switch. There is additional flexibility built into the CACLS command-its only limitation is the dearth of selections for PERM (permission levels) values.
  25. I remember seeing a command line to reset all permissions. I'll find it later and post it.
