insane

how can i google if i dont know the name of the song He just said, write down the lyrics. Put them in quotes - and then you should be able to find it. It's just common sense :P Maybe you shoud hear the song before suggesting that next time ;) I guess ;) I just don't make a habit out of clicking every link I come across - even if it looks trustworthy :P

Whoa, that black one is hot :o actually, that whole thing is awesome. Maybe when my iPod mini battery dies (it's at about 40% total life left, even after a full charge :P, wow I use it alot!), I'll move on to this thing.

I don't understand how to do this (computer illiterate :P well, sort of). Dell might be giving me an entire years' free extension on my warranty though, we'll find out tonight - and if I can get a free new harddrive without corruption, why not? ;)

Anywho, I ran a diagnostic, and one block out of 58 million was corrupted. Apparently windows used this block for some really major, so I'm screwed. Sending it in to Dell... will probably cost me $200 since my warranty ended 2 weeks ago...

*Shakes head* BOOT! ... Like you boot from a floppy... :? Insert the CD into your primary ROM drive, go into the BIOS select CD-ROM as the first boot device, it'll then try to boot off the CD before Windows XP comes up. Press any key to boot Windows Setup when it says it. This is what we call booting from a device, what you're doing is auto-running in Windows. :P Just remember to make sure to keep IDE0 or HDD0 as your second or even third boot device, it'll need to boot from it eventually and it saves you changing it all the time. Best boot option is Floppy, CD-ROM and then HDD. In the unlikely case you can't find the option tell me what type of BIOS you have and I'll attempt to point you in the correct direction. I did this - and it worked fine until it loaded the 4th step (the actual reinstallation). It just says "39 minutes remaining", the timer doesn't count down - the but information screens rotate and my mouse pointer is still active. Grin King figured it might be an actual hard drive problem so I'm running a diagnostic on it now...

Ranging greaters I got one in about 20 monsters.

Okay, I tried to reinstall from the cd. When I click "install win xp" it is supposed to come up with a page where you can click repair (reinstall), install, and other option(s). However, I get a message box saying "your version of windows is newer than the one you are trying to install - if you try and install this version, you will lose your related files"... and then the continue button is disabled, and there's nothing else to do :| do I need to remove sp2?

That would make it easier for autominers to powermine.

I really hope so >.< I'm just going to put some personal files on here... just in case ;) it said on the microsoft website that I might lose files, but they're the ones that got me here in the first place...

According to Petro Canada anyways....

I'm going to use formatting as a last resort - since I've never done it before - and I think my warranty runs out within a few days - I don't want to take the chance. Plus I have the day off tomorrow, and nothing to do. This'll keep me busy.

I like these :)

Update: I'm transferring all personal files I don't want to lose over to this (my dad's) pc, and I'm going to reinstall win xp using the cd from safe mode. We'll see what happens - if this doesn't work, I'm going to call tech support or reformat :-\

Hahah, he's posted that hex edit list like 5 times on the older boards :P

Errr, this is a preventive lock I guess :| I can't see anything good coming out of this...

I remember quite a while ago, my brother deleted my entire english ISU out of spite - and I honestly needed to get it undeleted. I found a program that let you see undeleted files, and I was able to see files I deleted up to like one year prior. But that was becasue we didn't put much on the computer afterwards. I can't remember the name of the program though sorry - but there is hope ;)

So I foolishly downloaded Windows AntiSpyware Beta from microsoft, and I deleted a process (PowerReg Scheduler or something) that it determined a moderate threat. After I quarantined this, I needed to restart, and restart it did (win xp home), for 10 minutes, and nothing happened. So, I restarted in safe mode, and waited 45 minutes for windows to launch. So I figured, "Hey, System restore!", but nope - it won't load for some reason "system restore is unable to protect your computer at this time - please restart and try again", yeah right, please restart - may as well throw away another unproductive hour. I tried restarting without safe mode this morning, and absolutely nothing happened, I waited a good half hour, and nothing was showing (in safe mode, at least certain steps were passed after 10-15mins). In safe mode, I "undeleted" the quarntined file, and it didn't help. Any ideas? :P Oh, and hopefully we can get it working before class starts at uni in 2 days :lol: bad time for this to happen...

Aye, I always hit the "click to view message" - to make sure ;).

Sure, view "hidden folders" in your ipod drive (might be a subfolder), it should come up with folders F00 through F50. They "organize" your music into these folders, however it's random. If you have them set up on a network, I'm guessing you can just copy + paste these folders. However, I hear that on mac's it doesn't work. If you've got a PC, you're okay.

This, though a mere forum post - seems to make so much sense to me. It's a long read - but worth it.

Locked for flaming.

Yay! He agrees with my point. Thank you for your support :) Just about any choice you ever make in RS is somehow reversible. This is an extremely important aspect to the game. It seems very open ended, but when you consider the amount of players and all the different skills they may want to work on, it makes sense. The exceptions, however, are that you can neither "undo" a quests, nor decrease (permanantly) your levels/xp. lpinkus My problem with this is that it takes skill/difficulty out of the game. Take the family crest quest, for instance. It used to be a challenge, picking which gauntlets would be best for you. Now it doesn't even matter anymore. Don't want to burn some lobsters? Oh, I can just go change my gauntlets! Want more experience for gold smelting? No problem! Give the old gauntlets a change...

I dunno... think about: 'ya i no wat u mean its just not rite if he wud be nicer everything wud turn out for thebest. mayb talking 2 him wud help' As opposed to "Yeah, I know what you mean. It's just not right - if he would be nicer to you, everything would turn out for the best. Maybe talking to him would help?" Maybe that will help clarify.

Yep - decent grammar defiantely gives other people the view that your IQ is at least 50 points higher than if you don't use good grammar. I almost invalidate (in my mind) every post that I see with poor spelling/grammar, unless I can tell that English isn't their first language.
