Problem with the dust ring is there's no crust and large particulates being blasted. Could use differing colors for the collision. With a brighter color for the shockwave. I still think the angles on the right side differ from the left. Think the tectonic plate edges on the blue planet could be lil brighter with some way of showing distinction for the venting gases. Other than that I still give it a 8.5/10. Love the total rework of the planets/moon. Like the lava/gasy planet of the brown/red planet and the tectonic plates on the blue planet. Have 2 fully distinguished planets without needing the light from the collision. Like that the collision light matches on both sides, mostly. Def one of the best pic's posted here on tip.it that I've seen so far. Heartz

Please remember my editpic is really ruff. 1. Green- I like the length of light. Too short and you won't be able to light the bigger planet like you've done. Any smaller and you just have a huge black planet. But with the length given to the left has to be given to the right. 2. Yellow (barely seeable in my pic, sry)- But as you can see where you have made it really bright on the left also needs the same area on the right (on the collision axis). 3. Cyan/Blue arrows- These crevices/spots are too prominent. The light should be overshadowing them, not them breaking through the bright light. 4. Red- Blue planet: Think these were made with the crevices in the editing process but don't really show any design use. Just look like spots. Red planet: these should be shaded/lighted like the mountain area shown in the red arrow. 4. Violet- Reflection, really shouldn't be used here. 5. Blue planet's satellite/moon- is in the foreground. But for some reason the light is able to reach its side but the blue planet is not fully engulfed with light. How is that possible? If the light reaches as it should to match the left then the blue planet should be 98% lit and the moon be 90% lit (360ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâð 3-D). I might bring back the length of light a bit so that you wont have to light the foreground of the moon but instead show an eclipse type effect and so that you wont have to fully light the blue planet. 6. For some reason the light moves along 3 different axis's. The brown planet has light from a slightly tilted off horizontal and in the opposite direction of the collision axis, the blue planet along the collision axis, and the moon along some different axis of which i have no idea where from. Might wanna get them all straight. 7. I like the colors of everything, including the planets. The stars and gas looks fine. The text looks great. 8/10 Heartz

I'd have to agree with this. The text really killed it for me. Plus it's just not too creative enough for me for a manip. It's nice that you chose Navy as an inspiration though. Navy has some really great talent in those hands. 4/10 Heartz

1. I actually like the sig one better. Just a lil too plain. 5/10 2. 8/10 Nice stripe additions 3. Really good render but the lighting is terrible. Good bg. 6/10 4. Empty space does not do it for me (white area). I know what your trying to show here but still. 6/10 5. Again nice render but bad lighting. Nice bg too. Blury. 7/10 6. Looks like a mix of styles and prob one of your first at trying something new. Not bad 5/10 Heartz

I'd have to agree. same 6/10 Heartz

6/10 I like the lines in this one though :P Heartz

7/10 for both. Might make changes on the spot n the "A" Couple suggestions on text in pic's. Try to add one letter/number/character at a time or add the basic text either by whole words or by single letters and then edit pixel by pixel. 2nd might take a very long time to get just right. Heartz

:( 8/10 for pixels Sorry this may seem overly critical but... The bushes on the stairway ended after 60% on the way to heaven, shading on the right side grass and water areas, shading on the upper half of the stairway, and the wave designs didn't turn out as good as they could have been. Branding looks lil funky too. But what makes me go gah gah is the vegetation on the first 20-30% of the stairway and the clouds/sky *:drools:* Very Nice, Heartz

Looks alot better than the first. Better shading for one. Lot to go still. I wouldn't go with any landscape. Esp if its only a second. Maybe a dungeon or something with an easy bg. Fight Pits for an idea. The collision is gunna be the spotlight no the bg. GL, Heartz

1. When you first set up her account last year, did this happen or did it occur after a certain amount of time from first ever running the computer? 2. When you reinstalled the OS this time did you reinstall from the Cerified Windows XP OS disc or from a Backup/Recovery disk? Heartz

Your sister prob downloaded a virus or a program that keeps it from creating more than one. Like "Mutex" or "ClickOnce". Or the registry has been tampered with. The "CoCreate" or "CoCreateInstance" namely. This is just off the top of my head and I really don't go searching or looking in depth for other ppl but you can google anything I've said here and find out. Can also go to http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx and search for any problem and can also find or post questions below: Vista: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/commun ... fault.mspx XP: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expe ... eader.mspx

Pretty nice. 6/10 You can resize the height down 5 px and have the data size shrunken then you can use it here. Heartz

1. I'm guna take a guess and say thats a bunny coming out of a burrow and not a dog doing his business. lol 2. I like the fence. Cliff, waves, sun, and the bouy look fine. *Remember this is constructive* 3. Think the shading could use one angle and not several. Also the ppl, rabbit, and bushes havnt been shaded. 4. Sky, for some reason it don't look right for the brighter to be at the horizon when the sun is 35% above it and the upper sky is darker where the sun is. 5. Maybe the portholes could show some metal stairs or something interior or stained glass. 6. Door handle. 7. Would use the vines from the right side on the left, and use the left on the right side. (Sunlight/brightness/shading/w.e) 8. Noticed how you gave the grass some life round the fence and was wondering if you could somehow do that to the rest w/o making it look funky. The lil waves from the ocean make it look better rather than just leaving it plain. 7/10 for a first Have fun, Heartz

I would agree somewhat. I would keep this one as it is with any touch up's you made do it. Cause it looks fine to me. But I would just make another one with the thought of having seperate scenes/character/w.e on each slide. Heartz

http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/C++/ Would suggest though maybe buying or checking out from a Computer Science library "Effective C++, 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs" by Scott Meyers and publised by Addison-Wesley (1992). Edit, almost forgot bout "More Effective C++, 35 New Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs" same person same publisher (1996). The books are pretty old but it's a start from prob where you are and aren't really for beginners. Heartz

If you got the crystal bow or shield after you finished the quest, then you'll have to buy a seed and have it enchanted. If you never got the crystal then you'll have to talk to Islwyn. Heartz

Nice help :/ Basically if they admit it and you dont catch them in time and report within 60 seconds you can report by going to RS's Customer Support and report them there. Give them everything you know and be honest. It will probably not automatically incur any blackmarks on the person your reporting but it will likely be put on a watch list. Can report to this link: http://www.runescape.com/loginapplet/lo ... other.html Heartz

Guess its a good start. Hope you don't smoke...tisk tsk. lol 3/10

K go back to the site, http://www.update.microsoft.com , and click on "Review your Update History". Click on the yellow question mark next to the Failed icon and read how to solve the problems. Post the solution here if it dont work for you. Heartz

ROFL, *slams fist on the desk repeatedly while laughing* lol. Was wondering if it was TigerDirect. TD is known for this. As I've said before, if you buy the whole system/prebuilt refurb package then your in for trouble. All I can say is have it replaced by TD, I know they do that. I would suggest to have your techy order the box, motherboard with the CPU pre-installed, hard drive with the OS pre-installed, ram (at least 1 gig, perferably 2+), and any other component needed seperately. Makes it easier to test n get a replacement if only one of them is the problem. Have the techy go to msconfig a shut off any startup program that is absolutly not needed and any services that you really don't need to have on that specific computer. Keep any firewall, antispam, antivirus programs off and only go to update.microsoft.com and update everything possible. Check the site again once you've restarted the computer. It might have more updates. keep doing it till there are no more updates. Once the updates are done go to msconfig again and rip out all the unnessesary services and startups you dont need or use (have techy do it, might not have Windows start up right if you take out the wrong service). Once all that is done try running your computer however you like. If it still goes on let us know. Heartz -(NFH) edit: You could also just go to http://www.update.microsoft.com and click "Review your Update History" on the left panel. It should show all the updates you've failed to download/install. Then click the yellow question mark next to the Failed icon. That should help some in trying to solve the problem. If there's no failed updates there then you can just run the updates from the site and when they fail you can check there again.

First thing, try to turn off any firewall you have and run the update. If it's not that let me know. You can also try the update on their site. Uses different protocols. edit:Seems as they've intergrated both into one. Basically uses the same protocols now. :( Link: http://www.update.microsoft.com Heartz -(NFH)

The problem with buy refurbs is that most companies rip out everything and put back in obsolete hardware. Really the only thing that is left is the original harddrive. Prob should have your techy compare the link below with the installed hardware and software. The computer should have come with some Vista OS disk or recovery disks. If not call the company and ask for one. If they won't give you one ask Microsoft. They'll ask for the number on top of the box and prob send you one for free. After making sure you have a good board, CPU, and ram, reinstall Vista. If nothing works you could always just have the computer returned and get a replacement. Link: http://support.gateway.com/s/pc/R/10094 ... 52nv.shtml Also to agree with the techy, XP prob would be the way to go. I love XP so much more. Vista is basically just a graphical rip off and a permissions nightmare for most. I love permissions though. Heartz -(NFH)

I'd have to say, from what I've seen so far, you must be the most talented artist here. Best pic's: Very Nice gallery, Heartz

Can see this one turning out to be a 10/10 for pixels. Wonder if it would be allowed for any contest. Can't wait to see the final version. Heartz

Except for the guitar the rest are very choppy. And unlike what everyone has said here, "Paint" can produce quality pic's. I've been using Microsoft Paint since 1986, MacPaint since 1988 (gave it up after photoshop), Photoshop since 1990 (Mac till 93, Windows since), Corel painter since 92, GIMP since 97, Paint.NET and PhotoFiltre since 04. After all the photos I've edited and designs made from scratch I still think Paint has it's uses. lol Especially if it's the only thing you have. Just have to know how to bring the most out of the program and apply it to your work. Would suggest using the "Pick Color" option and fill in the choppy areas. Other than that have fun on future work. Heartz
