Well everything does seem to be in tip top shape, as long as you have your firewall on and set to ask if anything needs access to the internet. You shouldn't have any problems, the page that was seen could also have just been a hoax. They used to be quite a common way of making people panic and more often than not, people sacrifice security after a hoax because they think that it hasn't worked. Remember to remove one of your AV programs though, you only need one. :wink: Make sure Windows is fully updated aswell. That's all that I can suggest. :)

first of all....NEVER LET A YOUNGER SISTER MESS AROUND WITH THE CONNECTION AND/OR PROXY, you say she isnt too good with computers so never let her near the internet options, make users on ur comp or something... if you have broadband then you might have gone over over the download limit so they cut ur speed down. or you might have something on ur comp that isnt supposed to be there in which case ur stuffed Hi my name is Mr Sarcastic, I assume you're Mr Obvious? Jesus man I think it's been worked out that he shouldn't let a younger family member fool about with settings on his PC. Going over your allocated bandwidth doesn't display warnings about getting hacked either. Oh and "you might have something on ur comp" would probably be the most certain thing, although so far nothing. So lets leave it to the grown ups OK? :?

Last time I checked just about all the socket 939 boards allowed overclocking. I myself have had experience with both an MSI K8N Neo2 and a K8N Neo4 Platinum in both cases. Which are not really that expensive in my opinion. Are you sure you're not being limited by RAM? :? In most cases people think because they can't overclock a processor it's because of the processor or the motherboard, when it's not. It'll be the RAM. Also I assume you know you need to set the HTT for 4 or lower? You can't have the HTT at 5 and do over 205MHz under most circumstances. Remembering that HTT x Bus speed must equal 1000 or near abouts. Edit: If you're thinking about another board, my personal suggestions for a manufacturer would be Abit, Asus, DFI or MSI. Personally I wouldn't pick a Gigabyte board, but I've seen way too many of the old Socket A's die. :( I doubt you'll get a DFI board with an AGP slot though, and I don't believe newegg are doing MSI on the AGP format. Abit or Asus then. :P

This is the reason why you should CHECK automated sites like that... Don't remove C:\Program Files\HP\HP Software Update\HPWuSchd2[Caution: ExecutableFile] Also the BHO or Browser Helper Object is a part of the Download Accelerator Plus program. So if you use it don't remove it, if you don't use it I suggest looking in Add/Remove programs first. Removal with Add/Remove programs is always your best bet. The other two I cannot comment on, it's really up to yourself. Another thing you might want to do is choose one Anti-Virus program. :P Remove the other one, it has been known for two AV programs to tie each other up. Just a small suggestion, use Spybot in Advanced mode (Mode menu -> Advanced Mode) and check out the Hosts file, BHOs and ActiveX controls pages. If you see anything out of the ordinary don't be afraid to ask what it is. Or better yet, google the filename and see what some pages say. :)

Actually I can reformat a PC in less than half an hour. Including XP and all the service packs + patches. Installing your software is your own problem though. If you can't fix a problem and you know how to format and reinstall windows. Why don't you just do it? :? I used to do it every 3 months or so just to keep my PC running fast.

Hawt anime chick sig - 8/10. Nothing wrong with it. :shock: Shady overused pixel styled sig - 1/10. For being what it is. :P

Same attitude in Britain actually... But Americans have an excuse. They're not allowed to do it till 21. Which in my opinion is kinda late. Then again they're allowed to have guns. :shock: Drunk + knife = Bad. Drunk + gun = EEP! :o
-
Ask it nicely to leave? In fact, I suggest you don't ever use HJT again and take your computer to a PC shop to get it fixed... Make sure you backup all your important files.

What the hell is the IT crowd? :? I'm confused...

Used to wear branded stuff because you were no one at school if you didn't own something branded. :x Now I don't care. In fact I get all my clothes from ASDA (Wal-Mart). Can't beat George. 8) I think my jeans cost like ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã4 at some point... :lol:

Yup and I'll add to it! HAHAHAHAHA! Congrats on your 21st, I'll be 20 on the 12th. ^_^ Going out tonight to get "smashed". But what's different from this birthday to every other one since I was 16? :D NOTHING! :lol: Legal drinking age in Britain = 18. Preferred drinking age in Britain = 13. 8) Again congrats! I can't wait to be 21. In fact I might go to America just so I can drink in an American bar. :P Thumbs up to you man!

For all we know, we might not be the first. :) There could have been a universe exactly the same as ours that contracted and became this particle. :P Also energy can't be created, it's always been there. So you could say that we're an energy transfer.

People ask the dumbest questions. If something is Illegal it's because it breaks a law. In this case a RuneScape rule. If it breaks a rule, you shouldn't be doing it. If it breaks a RuneScape rule, it breaks a Tip.It rule. You shouldn't be asking for it.

I know, and that's the reason this forum is filled with <15 year olds, the others get tired of it. The only reason I don't is the arguments. I'm not saying this forum doesn't have its fair share of imbeciles, because it does. It doesn't detract, however, from the fact theres plenty of intellect floating around to nullify the stupidity. :lol: Been reading a Thesaurus lately? :) My favourite character without a doubt is Kenny. He's bloody hilarious as long as you know what he's saying. He's definately alot worse than Cartman. :lol:

These following images speak for themselves... They really do release quests too frequently on RS2, I only really started playing it about 4 months ago and I really don't have the time to catch up. :( I used to love doing quests as can be seen from the RSC quest pic. Only RS2 quests I've done are the ones required to get into places that I feel I need. Apart from that, I've not bothered. Updates that I'd like to see are things like a new combat based skill. Something like Necromancy. A few updates to the wilderness which seems to be more and more neglected as the updates go on. The world below the wilderness is being expanded both to the east and the west. Yet the wilderness stays along a certain boundary (F2P). :? More powerful Ranged gear would be nice. An implementation of Dragon arrows would be immense. Funnily enough I can't afford to use Rune, but it'd stop everyone else complaining. ^_^; New more powerful smithable items would be lovely even if they had to expand on the 99 boundary for just that skill. :o (I know this one won't be popular.) Player owned houses would be nice for some of the more involved RuneScape players. (Ie. RolePlayers.) Some Fletching for F2P. They can cut the higher level logs yet they can't use them apart from to set on fire? LAME! That's about it from me.

Duel? PK? Castle Wars? Fight Pits? I like fighting... Plus with 99 smithing you can make your own r00n armour. ^_^;

Credit to XxCavalierXx. Edit: That'd be 2001.

You're obviously luckier than me. :P This is a list of 100 basilisks that I killed on the 11th of December last year and what they dropped. Plenty of cash from them, but no real good drops sadly. :(

Tip.It Times: A reflection on the past five years
Chris replied to Eeeeediot's topic in General Discussion
So please don't argue. That date has been confirmed by the co-owner of this site, Lightning, who was amongst the first handful of players :) Not exactly real proof, but hell it'll do. All hail the mighty Lightning. 8) OK I'll stop spamming this up now, sorry for hi-jacking. Nice article from Magey, who I still think should fork out $5 a month for P2P. :P -
Tip.It Times: A reflection on the past five years
Chris replied to Eeeeediot's topic in General Discussion
Learn to use line spaces please! I can't even be bothered reading any more than 2 or 3 lines... When I see "it existed back in 99 but im not sure if it even dated back in late 98." I just think OH NO! NOT ANOTHER IDIOT! It has been said several times, hell I'd say way over a hundred. The earliest date that RuneScape was seen by the public eye was in Late 2000 to early 2001. I had this same argument with some guy on RS the other week. It was in beta before being released mid January to February. I don't know for sure but I've seen so many people that played back then post about it. So please don't say the game is more than 5 years old. Edit: I just quickly skimmed over the rest, holy crap dude you're so inconsistent. You go from being able to pk anywhere to going to level 48 wilderness and then state that you had a rune long you couldn't use? I for one was playing RS when they added level restrictions. I was way below the required level 40 attack for rune weapons but I had saved up the 32k to buy it from the Champions Guild. Mining coal was such a good way of making money back then. On that little note, was I so annoyed when they put Adamantite plate down from 40k to 16k. :x "u could have been a lvl 20 picking off a lvl 3 lol. crazy!!! : )" - I believe I read from older posts that the requirements for pking were set 4 combat below and 4 combat above. Basically it was like level 4 wilderness all over RS. I may be completely wrong but I'd rather hear from someone that doesn't have 1 post and has a name I recognise from that time period. Types of character were something along the lines of Warrior, Mage, Ranger, Miner, Adventurer. All had their basic skills up to a maximum of 7 (or 9 I can't remember). Example: Miners had 7 (or 9) mining. "and back then u couldnt see what the other person's combat level was, so u could be talking to a lvl 3 or a lvl 80" - I loved that! Couldn't beat making some bronze armour and wondering about in lumbridge. :) -
I'm thick. ^_^ I've seen it before and knew there was something up with it. I read over it at least 7 times and still only got 3 F's. :oops:

I stopped believing in Santa 1 month and 4 days before my 20th birthday. Which so happens to be today. You CRUEL EVIL DISPICABLE PEOPLE! :evil: If I was serious I'd piss on you, but I'm not. Although what'd happen if an 8 year old came across this while browsing his favourite runescape pages? :? Santa is great, it gives children happyness. Don't ruin it. :(

I don't know about the reviews, but the Maths suck :D xpress 200 = 0.7 * x300SE x300SE = 1.1 * Radeon 9200 Radeon 9200 = 0.9 * Radeon 8500 Radeon 8500 = 1.4 * Radeon 7500Pro So: xpress 200 = 0.7 * 1.1 * 0.9 * 1.4 * Radeon 7500Pro = 0.9702 * Radeon 7500Pro So, it's about 3% slower than the original 7500 Pro. And yes, cumulative percentage taking sucks. Never just add them up, always multiply their numerical equivalents :) Who gives a toss, damn you're the biggest nerd here. Holy crap I just read what Militar.. whatever his name is. He's as worse. You're going to buy a computer, just make sure it has at least one sixteen speed PCI express slot for upgrades later. AGP will not suffice. - I'm smart and you're not! Hahaha *hic*. :o

Limewire isnt just a pirating tool. -------- Try changing your firewall... Like you've used Peer to peer software for anything legal... :lol:
