I don't like the idea of having to repair Barrows armour, so if I could afford it. I'd rather have dragon armour. Plus I've always wanted full dragon... It's like a thing I've had since I got full rune years ago.

There were flames? :| Maybe what you moderators thought was flames, was actually intelligent conversation. You don't get alot of that around here, so I'm assuming you might have mistaken it for flaming. Shhh there, I forgive you.

For Windows XP to Windows XP... Remote assistance. For any other OS, A VNC client like Bmms suggested.

Right click My Computer, left click Properties, left click Hardware, left click Device Manager and double left click on Display adapters. If the correct drivers are installed it should state what you have in there. If you don't have the drivers installed, download PC Wizard from here and install it. Run it and it'll tell you what your graphics card is in there.

It's true that sometimes you can recover data by cooling a hardrive down, but to leave it in a freezer is still a bad idea. Although, if it's already broken. What's the harm in trying. :)

But not the smallest file size... The two files above are exactly the same as the PNG, and have smaller file sizes. The GIF is using 128 colours and the JPG is at 100% quality. As in no loss. Still think PNG's better? :|

Great series, you should get it. I've also watched Fumoffu, which I found entertaining. Just because of the comic value. The second series of FMP was good too, although I didn't appreciate how short it was.

I reckon that judgement would have been based around the recent battery pack explosions... http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32550 I can't find the Apple one too, but if you Google it, you'll probably find it.

Save the file as either a GIF or a JPG. GIF: JPG: Both are under 6KB.

I suppose, being called a cheater while playing Counter-Strike 1.6 at a "Tournament" at my towns internet cafe. I invited them to watch my screen, they could see it perfectly. Every single time I got one, BOOM! HEADSHOT!... "He's cheating...!" Consequently winning too was alright, but I prefer being thought that my skill was so great that they had to think I was cheating. :mrgreen:

Depends on availability, and how good it is. If I don't think it's worth buying or I can't get it from a high street store, I download it. ^ My collection, plus a screenshot of the size of my Anime folder on my PC.

Series: Dragonball Z, Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex 1 + 2, Kiddy Grade, Elfen Lied, Hellsing, Full Metal Panic, Virus and Tokyo Underground. Movies: Violence Jack, Lady Death, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Ghost in the Shell and Akira.

Not sure about the task manager... But a quick Google search gave me this page for slow shutdowns. http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowshutdown.htm

Quite honestly I'd try and find someone who does a core 2 duo laptop. If it were me, I'd be buying a ROCK laptop. But I'm not sure if they're just a British manufacturer or not. http://www.rockdirect.com/configureNote ... -T76&bID=2 Take a quick look see.

I wouldn't suggest going wireless, mainly because of the cost of the adapter for the 360. Any ADSL/DSL ethernet router would work, that and a huge ethernet cable and you're set.

Eh, you don't need RAID... You need to move your own personal files to your secondary hardrive. If you're already doing that, you need to get yourself a bigger primary hardrive or start uninstalling old programs you don't use.

Taking a wild guess, games are optimized to be playable. They may drop frames, remove detail and quality from certain textures and objects that aren't the focus of the gamer. Where-as 3dMark is designed to completely knacker out your graphics card till it screams, then it gives it a handy dandy score at the end. :mrgreen: Edit: I wouldn't feel so bad, I recently shelled out for a 1900XTX as you know. I only got 5655 marks in '06.

... Yeah Windows 2000 although my second choice, wouldn't be as practical for home use. As it's a business operating system.

Take a screenshot of your desktop via Print Screen and pasting into Paint. If that works, it should work. :P Em, do that first. I'll think of why it might not be working later.

Idiots, when you know what you're all talking about you can come back and argue. He asked if it'll run XP, it will. Props to username388 for the minimum specs. I'd recommend Windows 98 though. The problem with XP is it's memory hungry. You'd also need to optimize it, so it'd probably not even look like XP if you were running it. Ubuntu, would probably run too. But it'd be mighty slow unless you knew how to optimize it. First choice OS: Windows 98. Second: Windows 2000. Third: XP. Never in a million years: ME.

What network card/adapter do you have? A simple google search gave me various results, something along the lines of not having enough free resources. Right click My Computer and click Properties, go into the Device Manager. If your network card/adapter is displayed and has a yellow exclamation mark. Right click it, click Properties and tell me what it says in the 'Device Status' box.

If you still have problems tell me what's in the equivalent red box of your drive.

Generally sound not working is... You haven't plugged it into the right jack in the computer. (Most people confuse the soundcard jack with one of the jacks on a 56K modem). As weezcake said, you haven't got your soundcard drivers installed. (Or they're not working properly and you may have to update them). And... It's muted or the sound is turned down. There isn't really anything else that can cause it, apart from maybe hardware failure. Good luck. :P Try some earphones in your computer to see if they work.

Yeah. Chris is a filthy bugger. Filthy. (I'm jealous) (It is Chris, isn't it?) I have two, would love to have 4 in a 2x2 mount.... Yeah, it's me. Three 21" Sony Trinitrons.

I'd have a chat to GEIL, most memory manufacturers do lifetime warranties. I know Kingston, Corsair and OCZ do. Get it replaced and test it out, if you still have problems at least you know it's not the RAM and you can have dual channel enabled. :mrgreen:
