JP-

;(

oi Im not touchy but saying you make your own cables......i mean come on.

Maybe they should upgrade them to 2000 eh

Yup, my brother actually bought this. Ive since been playing it and it is total poo Westwood should just stick to 2D games as it seems all 3D ones they make are terrible.

I did have mandrake 8 installed, but i realised that everything it could do windows 2000 could also do and more, so it went bye bye. Still, ive got a spare drive about somewere, maybe ill give it another go. The 1 thing that really annoyed me about it was that it gives you like 5 IRC programs, and 5 ICQ programs and none of them are any good, i would just like 1 good 1

Only in America ;(

OK tried it again, and it must be said that prost is now officially a god. You do not realise how much work you have just saved me Thankyou very much This is obviously a morpheus specific problem, it had just managed to set the permissions so that no-one (not even the administrator) had access to any of the files. 8) Anyway, changing the owner worked and me is happy again

OK well here is my exact problem.. http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/12921.html and as of today its done it with all the files in that directory. Have tried all the fixes here and there and i still cant access em

Ive been playing: Deus Ex Max Payne Counter-strike (with 16x ansi filtering and still getting 99fps, looks really sweet). 3D Mark 2001 (i know you dont really "play" it ) Star Trek: Bridge Commander Medal of Honour RTCW and many more not tried any cad/3d stuff though, no need for me to be doing stuff like that

Well im testing a radeon 8500 in my puter at the mo. Seems like a nice card, much better than i expected, and where are all the driver issues that ive heard so much about ? Everything works flawlessly so far.

Ok thanks prost, ill give those things a go when i get home later. I really hope they are not corrupted though, i did run a quick scandisc and it found nothing. Clutch i know what you mean about the protection thing, but last time i saw that it actually says something like "the file is protected and will only play on blah blah pc" etc.

Yeah sorry clutch, i guess we should just all make our own cables when we buy a new printer from now on, just like you. And ive never had a bundled cable fail. Infact i dont think ive ever had any cable fail.

Well clutch, you are the exception ;(, i would think that 95% of people buying a deskjet printer (or similar) would like a cable. Even if it costs them 50p, it doesnt mean its gonna be poor quality, just that they bought loads and got them cheap. (Authough obviously its not gonna be top quality, but hey, if it works it works )

No, they should include one. If you buy say a deskjet printer, its pretty obvious thats its going to be for personal and not network use, ie its gonna be attached to a computer that is reasonably close. They should have this included in the price already, and i dont see how you can say its for 'convenience and cost control for the user', its totally inconvenient and just makes it more expensive They could probably get these cables for like 50p / cents, or less if they bought them in bulk. chill

I mail ordered it so i had no chance of seeing the box.

What i hate about HP is that they dont include the stupid cable with the printer, like parallel or usb, so you open you shiny new printer and you cant even use it.

Nice Ive never had a prob with any of there stuff so ive never had to get tech support on anything.

booya to epson, what exactly did they do that was so great then ?

As soon as i can find the lovely pink gainward 750mhz one its mine

Just tried the demo, the actual game works flawlessly but i got horrible lag on every server i tried (on adsl) and this has kinda put me off getting the full thing. I would start walking in 1 direction and then suddenly get warped back to where i was 30seconds ago, it wasnt fun ;(

4600 is 4x agp, take a look ..... http://www.visiontek.com/UK/g4_ti46.shtml you will need a new motherboard to get agp 8x anyway, it should be a little way off yet.

I have the swiftech mcx478 on my p4, it keeps everything frosty. Interestingly authough its using an 80mm delta its not very loud in blowing mode, but if you turn it round it gives you worse cooling and it sounds like a vacuum cleaner

Well i have mine: 1 60GXP Master 60GXP Slave 2 Pioneer 105s dvd Plextor 12/10/32 cdrw Seems ok i dont do any HDD to HDD copying

Yes it looks weird and you are probably killing the HDD speed pairing them each with a cd drive.

get the cpu guaranteed speed.
