I've seen this issue on the RSOF a bunch of times. Every time it popped up the user fixed it by updating their graphics drivers. It's because the default Windows 7 drivers aren't the latest version, they're just generic video drivers. To fix it go to your graphics card manufacturer's website (nVidia, ATI) and download the latest official drivers.

I just thought of something that would probably work. If you pushed the reset button on your router earlier to no avail, try holding it down for at least 30 seconds. On most routers this will reset all the firmware setting, not just reboot the router. It's similar to holding down a computer power button vs. just pushing it, only instead of force shutting down like on a computer, all the the settings are erased on the router. After you do this all the router settings will have to be re-entered, but I'm sure you could convince your parents that your brother is capable of doing it. Joke's on him.

Inside the router settings you can block specific websites for a certain internal IP/MAC address. Since Runescape is blocked across all the computers you've tried, I'm going to assume that he just set www.runescape.com to be blocked across all IPs. One way you can test it would be to try and get to the Runescape website through a proxy, although I don't recommend actually logging into the game as all of your data would be sent through a 3rd party. If you can get to the runescape homepage through the proxy, then it's definitely what I mentioned earlier. The bad news is that there are only a couple options to try and fix it. One option would be to log into your router's settings page and remove the restriction, while the other option would be to re-flash the router's firmware. Option two basically nukes the router back to its factory settings, but if done incorrectly it could brick the router so I would recommend against it. Option one would require you to know the router's login and password, but there's a chance that they might still be the default username/pass is your brother is as lazy as me. The general steps to login to any router are as follows: 1. In the address bar, type in: http://192.168.1.1 (basically, the IP address of your router) 2. Type in the username/password 3. You're in, try to find where the restrictions are set The IP address of your router may be different than mine, you could try googling for your specific router. The default password for Linksys routers are usually some combination of 'admin'. Try using admin as the username with the password blank, and other combinations of those. However, if the username and password were changed then it's pretty much hopeless.

That's not true. If Jagex can't renew your membership with that card then they just don't renew your membership. If they did ban people if their membership can't be renewed then I'd be banned right now.

The only problem I've run into with this method is when the revenants manage to get a tele-block on you. I just run back to the teleporter because they don't seem to attack me there. I also seem to get a revenants very often which doesn't help much, but there was nobody else there when I was training :D

I'd like to see that I took some screenshots of it when I went in earlier this afternoon, here they are. [hide] [/hide]

I've got a useful bit of advice for everyone who is training their level from Willow Longbows to Yew Longbows. Power Fletch with either Willows or Maple longbows like you would any other day. After you've completed the number of bows you need or you need money to buy more logs DON'T sell them to the normal Charter Ship spot. Instead do the level one Karamja Achievement Diary for the Level 1 Karamja Gloves. Go to the Brimhaven Charter Ship and sell your unstrung bows for 40-60gp each for willows, or 112gp for maples! Even if you buy all of your logs for higher than normal prices you still make a profit! I've been using this method for a few days after wondering why there was so many bows in the shop. Edit: You have to be wearing the gloves when you are selling the bows otherwise you'll get the regular price.

My brother got a 1 day ban and a permanent mute for breaking rule 1 and 6, not so much 6 though. For rule 1 he was helping his F2P friend train on guards when some other idiot walks up and begins to annoy them and "Eavesdrop" on them. My brother brought out some inside jokes and got reported for rule 1. Happened yesterday For rule 6 it happened months ago. He was joking with his friend in a bank and yelled out "Buyin n00bz lv20 1 mil ea!!!! need 3!!!11!1!!".

Whenever I get a buyer/seller near the wildy I always grab some friends off my friends list and we go there and have 'fun'.
