You're hosting a non-dedicated server on the same system you play on?

No wonder you're laggy, then.

What type of connection do you have?

You should really stop calling your PC "CPU" because it's not just a central processing unit. Neither are the specifications you showed us those of the CPU and games aren't called "CPU games" but simply PC games. no am not hosting it, its a private server, i just play it.

the server itself is not laggy.

www.thelegendofmir.com - is the website for the game.

i am tryin to upload a video which clearly shows my problem, but uploads taking ages.i wil post the link to the video file and you will see what i mean as its really clear.

but thats as soon as its done -.-try running ccleaner, you can download it from here.

it pretty much just cleans your pc of junk and it works really well. You're not uploading or downloading ANYTHING while playing, right?

I don't need to see a video, I only need to know your full system specifications, the REQUIREMENTS of the game and if your computer is clean.i hope that attachment can help a little more :S i am not the best with cpu's, i only know how to play games lol.

153.	Solve : WinRar Images?
Answer» i've done this befor, running a winrar file through deamon tools as an image usualy works but i just downloaded a 3 gig compressed image, i decompressed it and WITHIN that i foud another zipped file that WONT decompres any further. "no archives found" but i know its there its 3.66 gig so i know its not EMPTY, is there some way i crack it open and have a look see inside?Several complicating factors: 1) Daemon tools 2) WinRAR 3) The other compressed file format. What is the extension for the FILES after you used WinRAR? What is the final product supposed to be?You need to unpack them in a logical sequence if they're broken into several pieces.

154.	Solve : Dos game requires more buffer memory?
Answer» Hi all, I dont know much about computers, just an honest bloke wanting a BIT of retro gaming. Tried installing and running XCOM APOCALYPSE. (MS-DOS) During the computer diagnostic the installer states my system has files & buffers at 40/0 when it needs to be 20/20. It suggested me adjusting this in my config.sys file but im running windows XP HOME so i dont know if there may be a modern altenative? Anyhow i took a look at my config.sys file by typing in "sysedit" in Run but there wasnt any text there at all, nor in the autoexec.bat file. Is this as it should be and i need to FIND an alternative fix or has the config.sys file been tampered with by perhaps my brother and i need to rebuild it? Any INFO required please ask as i dont know what infos required. Thanks.

155.	Solve : Battlefield 2 Battlecommo not working.?
Answer» Hey there. When I try to use the Battlecommo feature in BF2... it won't work. I've got all the settings correct, but nothing will fix it. My mic won't EVEN record in the BattleCommo test in the BF2 folder. I'm STARTING to think its got something to do with my Hardware, I've got a Motherboard with Realtek audio set up on it. The reason for my suspicion is that when I go to my windows device volume, the Mic volume is grayed out, along with the line in. Though, My mic will work fine in VENTRILO or Teamspeak. Thanks. Miketry reinstalling sound DRIVERS maybe?

it is. http://files.filefront.com//;7633836;;/The relevant information, for anyone concerned, is this. P4 2.4GHz. ATI Radeon 9200SE AGP 128Mb. 512Mb RAM. A few seconds searching reveals this. Minimum requirements: * Intel Pentium® III 800 MHz or AMD Athlon 800 MHz * 512 MB or more of RAM * 32 MB 3D graphics card with Hardware Transform and Lighting, such as NVIDIA® GeForce™ 2 class card or above * DirectX® 9.0c (included) and latest video drivers * 6.0 GB available HD space * 4x CD-ROM drive * A 56k or better Internet connection Recommended requirements: * Intel Pentium® IV 1.5 GHz or AMD XP 1500+ MHz * 1024 MB RAM * 64 MB 3D graphics card with Hardware Transform and Lighting, such as NVIDIA® GeForce™ FX 5700 class card or above * Broadband Internet connection * Two-button scroll-wheel mouse It will run, but not very well. A better graphics card would help a lot, more RAM would help a little too but the graphics card is the main factor here.

157.	Solve : Improved "new" g5 gaming mouse?
Answer» Found this fishing this MORNING ~ ( is this on the MARKET yet? anyone have this and is it an improvement over a g5 ? ) http://gmn.wz.cz/g5v2.JPG "quote" After ALOT of complaints about the missing second thumb-button, Logitech have finally come to their senses. The G5 V2 is in fact a G5 with a new exterior (maybe an anti-slip surface?) and the extra thumb-button that we know from the MX510 and the MX518. The button can be very usefull in games or for exploring the INTERNET (Back/Forward on mouse). It will cost around 60 euros and it will be launched within a short period of time, maybe even at Cebit. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-136622.htmlLooks good. Makes me wish I'd waited for a while so I could have got this new version rather than the one I have.Lol, nice mouse. What next? A joystick/mouse?

161.	Solve : downloading Glest problems?
Answer» Trying to download a legal free game from cnet, called Glest, and after set-up I get a message that open GL extension is not supported. I am running XP on a Toshiba Satellite 2415, about 5 yrs old. Had a reference to a texture crossbar, and OBVIOUSLY I am clueless. Thanks for any SUGGESTIONS. I live in Costa RICA and it is hard to find disc games to purchase, we depend on downloads.dude i think it means your laptop can't support the 3d aspects of this game Update your video card drivers, that may help.Thanks for the input, I finally figured out that NVIDIA is too old to support open GL, will just stick to the boring Myst til I can get some CDS from the states.Your video card is probably too old then. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about that.thanks for the input, at any rate, it is a learning EXPERIENCE!

163.	Solve : Freezing in games..?
Answer» Hi I'm hoping you can help me. I have a problem where in some games I play it freezes for around 10 seconds then the sound loops, after a while it stops and I can play properly again. It does this usually once or twice. AFTERWARDS the game seems to run fine. It's annoying to say the least, especially in online games. Also when it happens there isn't any hard drive loading activity so I don't think it's that. Any IDEAS? Thanks! I have an idea. If you actually post some information about your HARDWARE, operating system and which game(s) you might get some worthwhile suggestions. All we know for sure is that you have a computer. See below. Aha, yes of course. Specs: AthlonX2 3800 Galaxy 7600GT Tagan 480w PSU Gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3G Mobo WD Caviar 80gb SATA-2 HD Windows XP Home So far it's happened in Oblivion, Dawn of War and Flatout 2. I have noticed ANOTHER weird thing when I play flatout 2 online. When it does the freezing thing, the game i'm in ends leaving only me in the game. Update your video CARD drivers. 1. Download new drivers but do not install them. 2. Uninstall old drivers. 3. Reboot. 4. Install new drivers. 5. Reboot. If that doesn't help, check the case for dust and clean it if necessary, observing standard precautions. What happened before this started and what protection do you have?Thanks alot Calum, that seemed to to do the trick. I did what you said and also ran driver cleaner. I must have had the wrong driver installed or something. Cheers Nice, glad you got it sorted and thanks for posting back. Seems it was a driver issue, happens occasionally to everyone. Post back if you have any more issues.

164.	Solve : Can only play Age Of Mythology Once!?
Answer» I've Installed Age Of Mythology the day before yesterday. It worked well that day now today I want to play it and after the 2 movies I get the error message: "Initializing failed!" If I remove the program and run Ccleaner at the ISSUE part afterwards. The reinstall it than I can play it but if I reboot my PC then I get the error message again. How is this POSSIBLE? What can I do about it? I would give you more info if I had it. Jonas I know this can be much but I'll everything you suggest and I'll keep you up-to-date. Jonas were there any corrupted files before you reinstalled it?No I THINK that they are removed by Ccleaner and CHKDSK. Jonas I've found a breakthrough. AOM has a a mode where you can play Without the sound. That Works fine. Sow I think that it is my sound program that CREATES the error. I use SOUNDMAX Digital Audio. I don't know how I can give you more info about that but if you need more info just tell me how I get to that info and I'll give it to you. I Also suggest a mod move this to software because now it isn't any more about the game but about my sound program. Jonas

Answer» http://fallout.bethsoft.com http://3ddownloads.com/nma-fallout/fo3/misc/Demo.rar If you're not a fan of the Fallout series, these links won't mean much to you. If you are a fan of the Fallout series, these links need no explanation.Rock on! Have to try that! Quote This tech demo is not related to any product that has ever been released or will ever be released by Bethesda STUDIOS. So.. ? Fallout 3 was recently picked up by Bethesda. That tech demo is a look into the project when it was being designed by the original Black Isle team before it was scrapped. So, basically, that version of the game will probably never be released, and it's only available to make Fallout fans cry and hate the world. But if you like it, you should check out Fallout and Fallout 2 (ignore the crappy spin-offs). People have been waiting for this game for about 9 years, so it's exciting to have it get picked up by someone, but we're all scared that it'll be just like Oblivion.Boy, I was playing and building maps for Fallout: Tactics when you were still chasing girls on the schoolyard! I am proud to say I got banned several times from the Interplay forums for harassing Americans (One in particular, hehe). Didn't like Fallout 2, though, it was horribly broken and didn't have the solid feeling Fallout 1 had. (Talking Deathclaws? A super-robot/mutant protecting the president?) Fallout Tactics was neat, though. Good interpretation of what a strategy game would be like in the Fallout universe. Oh, so you're familiar with the series! I like you more and more each day, Raptor, ol' chap. Fallout Tactics is actually where I started. I got the demo when it first came out and I really enjoyed it. Then a friend let me borrow Fallout and Fallout 2 and they were just ten times better in my eyes. I'll agree that FO2 doesn't have the same feeling as the first, but I still love it to death. Just be glad that they took out the city of talking raccoons. Heh. I wish they would've left in the EPA and Vipers, though. I've come to dislike Tactics somewhat because of the inaccuracies, but for what it is, it's a good game. Brotherhood of Steel for X-Box, though, is just pure censored. Ninja robot ghouls?! Doesn't make any sense! As buggy as it's been over the years, I hope Bethesda decides to use the FO engine (I believe they were revamping it somewhat for FO3) instead of going with the Oblivion engine. There's so little solid info right now and everything is just speculation and rumors. Everyone's making me worried that we'll lose that familiar feel and atmosphere...Unless they want sprites and draw everything by hand, they are going to go for a different kind of engine I guess.. I never played the X-box version, it sounded really crappy. Ever played Wasteland? Actually, I believe Project Van Buren was using 3D models instead of sprites. I could be wrong about that, though. And yes, I've got a copy of Wasteland on my computer. How 'bout you? It's not the best game around (despite all of the acclaim), but I THINK it was pretty good for its time. Having to refer to the script constantly is a bit of a pain, though. Perhaps I should try playing all the way through sometime this week. And I need to start looking for Fountain of Dreams and maybe even the beta version of Meantime that was released.I played for 10 minutes (wasteland) and got bored. Guess I SHOULDA googled for the script. Ha, yeah, that might help. If you ever decide to play again, I've got a copy that I can send you. Shouldn't be too HARD to find, though.Send away! I'll get the script to you as soon as I can. CH isn't letting me upload it right now because it's apparently full. And I'm just too tired/lazy right now to upload it to a file host.Alrighty, Nathan took care of that, so I can go ahead and post it now. The formatting is a little off, but it's still EASY to read. [cleaning up - attachment deleted by admin]Wow...I finally played the tech demo last night and it sucked. It's like a crapped-out version of Tactics. Unless Bethesda secretly loves me very much and decides to use the old FO engine, I have very low hopes for this game. I will now go weep like a man.

166.	Solve : Source games freezing...?
Answer» Ok, so Im NEW here, and after endless searching for an answer, Ive had to come and ask here for and answer, cause this is driving me insane! Before I list my COMPUTER specs, understand that it CAN handle Counter Strike: Source and has before along with Lord of the Rings Online and many others. Ok, I have Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2 Pentium 3 933 MHZ Processor 640 MB RAM 128 MB NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 4000 Hard Drive is IBM DLTA And I dont know my what my Sound Card is. Anywho, the problem is, that when I go to play on Counter Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source or Half Life 2, opens, and if youve played them you know when it loads it says "Retrieving SERVER Info" and then goes to "Sending Client Info". Well, it goes through "Retrieving Server Info" fine, and then goes to "Sending Client Info" it starts loading, but then when its 2 bars away from being completly loaded, BOOM, my computer completly freezes. Ive checked everywhere and everything I can think of. When I had Windows 2000 just about a month ago, CSS ran perfectly, and I NEVER had this problem whatsoever. But then I installed XP and it started happening. Ive uninstalled it and reinstalled it about 5 times now...but nothings changed. Ive checked the Virtual Memory and many other things. Hopefully someone here can help me! Thanks.I don't know if they use punkbuster but have you tried to update your punkbuster ? I think it's www.evenbalance.com

167.	Solve : StarCraft MMO?
Answer» The long-rumoured new instalment of Blizzard's massive StarCraft series is set to be unveiled later this month - and it's another massively-multiplayer online game in the style of World of Warcraft, CVG learns. Link to story If true would be good and bad news for all us WOW addicts and/or StarCraft fans.Actually, I might PLAY that. I REALLY, really LIKE sci-fi games. I like Starcraft, but I'm not sure I'd play an MMO version.So is this going to be an MMORPG or a MMORTS? Going to probably be MMORPG I'd imagine with RTS elements. But I couldn't see them doing a MMO like the traditional RTS games.i cant waitI'm still an active SC player, this'll be awesome I never played StarCraft! is it like warcraft?Sort of. But you get guns and spaceships, tanks and stuff instead of swords and archers. It's a fantastic game, you should really get it. I picked up Starcraft and the EXPANSION, Brood Wars, for about £5, so it's cheap too.So, any more news on this subject? Not yet, but I anticipate soon, with how Blizzards website is changing daily showing you a time line of the history of their games each day. http://www.blizzard.com/I had a look on their website, couldn't find any reference to it. What do you mean 'daily'? Each day they're changing the main page of all Blizzard related pages to talk about a product they've done in the past. The speculation is that at the end of the product line will be the announcement of the next product (more than likely StarCraft MMO or StarCraft 2). Because today's splash screen is the introduction of WoW (2004) I think the announcement will be within the next day or so because apart from the expansion pack for WoW there has been no other games. Examples of Blizzard splash pages, every Blizzard associated page has been having these splash pages over the last few days. http://www.blizzard.com/ http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/ http://www.wow-europe.com/ Also a page for http://www.starcraft2.com, however for now just forwarding to Blizzard's main page. Well looks like it will in fact be an RTS, the StarCraft II site is up, trailer and SCREENSHOTS look great. http://www.starcraft2.com/ Can't wait! Just cant wait, this'll be a great game, it's got some big shoes to fill.

169.	Solve : bypass?
Answer» hi everyone. does anyone play warrock? in the game they have punkbuster. does anyone know how to make bypasses or has a good bypass that works cause most bypasses only WORK for like 3-4 min and you get caught. IS it even legal to make bypasses to punkbuster? do not get this wrong im not a person that uses hacks to get a higher level. ACTUALY i got to lv. 15 by myself, its just that it GETS booring sometimes especially when other people hack and you CANT do nothing. Although I believe this can be done, I'm really not SURE if we're allowed to help with this sort of thing. It's a bit of a gray area.That's illegal and immoral. Don't try it, you'll only get caught. Remember, you only cheat yourself in the end.

170.	Solve : World Of Warcraft - Offline Gaming?
Answer» Does anyone know if anyone has come up with any mods yet to allow for gaming without having to be connected to Battlenet for World of Warcraft??? I enjoy the game, but cant see having to pay out constantly to play it since I might play it once a week. At least if I was to be sold a Coin-OP software package the price should have been less than $40. But Blizzard is charging the full price of a game, plus a Coin-OP charge to be able to operate the software. Before WOW, I was a Warcraft 1 & 2, and Diablo 1 and 2, and Starcraft player. Played the games so much that actually burned out a CD Rom and wore out some keyboards and MICE. I enjoyed the fact that they could be played both on and offline. So I am asking if anyone knows of any mods or anything like that than can be downloaded to run the game stand ALONE or on a LAN with one system as a server and the other as the client gaming system??? Hopefully Microsoft WONT think that selling software, then Coin-OPing it is a good idea, because next thing you know you will have a computer with Windows and will have to pay $200 to 300 for the OS then a useage fee like a Coin-OP!!! Thanks Dave Actually they would PREFER to sell you an install CD and then a yearly update charge to keep it running, like Norton, etc.I know tools like that exist, but I don't see the point being as your "offline/lan" charector couldn't go online, and the game is not designed to be played with just one human, or indeed a handful.Just play on cracked servers if you can find any... HOPE you like the cheaters. There is no offline play for WOW, would be hard to do single player when you get higher levels that require multiple people and/or healing. However as Raptor said you can play on servers users have setup outside of Blizzard. You would however need the game to do this. Although not quite the same as WOW there are several alternative MMORPG games that are free or free to play. GuildWars of course is the popular game right now. Has a lot of similarities of WOW and other games, however is 100% free to play online. http://www.guildwars.com/ Also dozens of other free MMORPG's: http://www.google.com/search?q=free+mmorpg&ie=UTF-8You could also try Diablo II: LoD. It's a pretty fun MMORPG, gets sort of repetetive though, but hey, it's still pretty fun. You've got to buy the game itself, but the online play is supported by Battle.Net, and is free. It also has Single Player, and you can take your Single Player characters on a seperate type of Battle.net called 'Open Battle.net'. It isn't monitored by blizzard so, so prepare to see some crazy shiat if you play it

So when i have RECORDED one scene, i go back to windows and wath the next scene of the episode so i can then go back to gta and record it, But, when i have watched a bit of the top gear episode and want to go back to the GAME, my system reboots.. VERY anoying.. Can anyone help me plz? FilluXI'm assuming you're running Windows XP. It's likely you're encountering an error and Windows is AUTOMATICALLY restarting because of that error. To help determine the cause of the problem it would be helpful to see what the error is. I suggest you disable the auto restart by following the below steps and then GET what the error is and either search for it and/or post what it is on the forums and we'll go from there. 1. From the desktop right click on My Computer. 2. Click the Properties option. 3. In the System Properties window click the Advanced tab. 4. In Advanced click the Settings button under Startup and Recovery. 5. In the Startup and Recovery window uncheck the Automatically restart check box. 6. Click Ok. I did that, but i havent tried it yet, will do it tomorow. I hope it works Thanx very much!

178.	Solve : Review: Dell laptop will please Hard-core Gamers?
Answer» (CNET.comexternal link) -- Say what you will about market leader Dell (and many have), but with its top-shelf XPS line, the company has consistently put out distinctive laptops that feature the most advanced components on the market. Despite its recent acquisition of niche player Alienware, Dell sticks to the script with the newest iteration of its flagship gaming laptop. With the XPS M1710, the company adds just a few aesthetic curlicues to the same basic form factor found on Dell's other 17-inch wide-screen models, upgrades to Intel's Core Duo PLATFORM, and drops in Nvidia's new top-shelf GeForce Go 7900 GTX GPU. The unsurprising result: an extremely pricey system that extends the company's dominance of our gaming benchmark tests and solidifies Dell's reputation as the vendor to beat in the gaming laptop market. If you're a hard-core gamer who's looking to play the newest games (Oblivion, F.E.A.R.) at the highest settings, this is the best system that (a lot of) money can buy. Otherwise, there are plenty of much less expensive but still powerful alternatives, such as the Toshiba Satellite P105-S921 (Read reviewexternal link) and the Gateway NX850XL (Read reviewexternal link). Aside from our test unit's Special Edition Formula Red cover (it's also available in METALLIC Black), the XPS M1710's design is nearly identical to that of the previous model, the XPS M170, and very similar to the more multimedia-focused Inspiron E1705. (Well, except for all of the glowing lights: the XPS M1710 can emit shafts of light in any one of 16 colors from its lid, side vents, and speaker vents.) Crafted out of sturdy and stylish magnesium alloy, the XPS M1710 measures 15.5 inches wide, 11.3 inches deep, and 1.6 inches thick. Our test unit weighed 8.8 pounds (10.2 pounds with its AC adapter) -- a few ounces more than the Gateway NX850XL, but nearly 1.5 pounds more than the compact Toshiba Satellite P105. The XPS M1710 is certainly easier to move than a desktop gaming rig, and it's portable enough for room-to-room movement, but we don't recommend it for regular travel. The XPS M1710 includes a full-size keyboard, though it lacks a separate number pad, as found on some other desktop replacements, such as the Satellite P105-S921, the HP Pavilion dv8000, and the Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV600. The XPS M1710's mouse buttons are very big, however, and the touch pad, which features a backlit XPS logo, is adequately sized. The touch pad also has arrows running along its right and bottom edges, outlining where to place your FINGER when using the software-enhanced pad to scroll through documents or Web pages. Like most of the other models in the XPS and Inspiron lines, the XPS M1710 features Dell's MediaDirect software, which plays CDs and DVDs and lets you access photos and other media files stored on your hard drive without booting up Windows first. The two speakers and the internal subwoofer -- a rare feature among laptops -- deliver crisp and rich sound. Better yet, because the speakers sit in the corners of the laptop's front edge, your hands won't muffle them while you're typing, and you can play music with the lid closed. Sandwiched between the speakers, a row of seven buttons lets you control DISC playback and adjust or mute the volume. Though the XPS M1710 runs Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005, it lacks the integrated TV tuner found on more expensive systems, such as the Qosmio G35-AV600, the Fujitsu LifeBook N6210, and the Sony VAIO AX570G. Dell sells an external, PC Card tuner for approximately $150, however. Our XPS M1710 test unit came equipped with a reasonably bright, 17-inch wide-screen display; we love its superfine WUXGA 1,900x1,200 native resolution; Dell says that the XPS M1710's display is 30 percent brighter than the M170's. While we found it slightly brighter than the Inspiron E1705's display, we still prefer the superbright screens on the VAIO AX, the LifeBook N6210, and the Pavilion dv8000, though none of those models offer the gaming performance of the XPS M1710. There's no dearth of ports, jacks, or slots here: the XPS M1710 features headphone and microphone jacks, VGA and DVI outputs, S-Video-out, four-pin FireWire, and a whopping six USB 2.0 ports. Networking connections include a 56Kbps modem, 10/100/100 GIGABIT Ethernet, optional Bluetooth, and integrated 802.11a/b/g wireless. Also onboard are an ExpressCard slot and a 5-in-1 media card reader; PC Card users, take note that the XPS M1710 does not support PCMCIA cards. (For the sake of comparison, the Toshiba Satellite P105-S921 has all of this, plus it supports PC Cards and SmartMedia cards and has an S/PDIF output, though it has two fewer USB 2.0 ports.) Finally, our XPS M1710 test unit included a multiformat, double-layer DVD drive. Dell bundles a standard software package, including Microsoft Windows XP Media Center. At $4,215, our Dell XPS M1710 test unit came configured with the most high-end parts money can buy: Intel's top-of-the line 2.16GHz Core Duo processor, 2GB of fast 666MHz DDR2 SDRAM, and a big, fast 100GB hard drive spinning at 7,200rpm. Our XPS M1710 test unit was also stocked with Nvidia's GeForce Go 7900 GTX GPU, with 512MB of dedicated memory, and was, at the time that this review published, the first and only system to feature the new card, though more will surely follow soon. The Toshiba Satellite P105-S921 costs much less: for $1,999, you get a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 1GB of 333MHz DDR2 SDRAM, a 160GB, 4,200rpm hard drive, and a lower-end but still powerful Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS GPU with 256MB of dedicated memory. As with past XPS models, the XPS M1710 destroyed CNET Labs' gaming benchmarks. In our Doom 3 test, it delivered 25 percent more frames per second (fps) than the XPS M170; with F.E.A.R., it notched 72fps compared with the XPS M170's 44. That said, the XPS M1710's SysMark scores were in line with those of the other 2.16GHz Core Duo systems we've reviewed (including the HP Pavilion dv8000t and the Acer TravelMate 8200), so unless you're a hard-core gamer who needs absolute top-shelf equipment to play new, demanding games, such as Oblivion or F.E.A.R., there are far less expensive options out there. In our battery drain test, the XPS M1710 lasted for 154 minutes, about the same as the previous model and decent battery life for a desktop replacement. Though Dell has moved to a 90-day warranty on its less expensive models, the company covers the XPS M170 with an industry-standard one-year warranty, which provides free parts and labor with mail-in service. For a $4,000 notebook, we think Dell should offer a longer support contract; and the upgrades are fairly pricey: a four-year warranty with at-home service, which Dell recommends, costs about $340. You can get help through Dell's 24/7, toll-free telephone line for as long as you own the laptop. Dell offers a special tech-support number exclusively for XPS owners, staffed by reps who can provide help with the latest games and technologies. The company also has a support Web site with downloads, FAQs, and hardware-specific user forums. http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/ptech/05/01/dell.laptop/index.html# (One basic pic of laptop on link)

Answer» I can't get BF42 WORKING properly on widescreen. I went to the config files, changed all of them to 1440X900. The resolution is correct, HOWEVER everything is still stretched. I read on some other websites that the map and HUD still look stretched but the stuff in the game doesn't. For me everything is still stretched.Try these steps, need to edit more than one file and make sure you set the config files to read-only otherwise it may reset the files. http://www.widescreengamer.com/b/battlefield_1942.html If that doesn't work what video card are you using? That's exactly what I did, everything is set to read-only and I edited all those files. The resolution is correct but everything is stretched and ugly. The video card is nVidia GeForce 6150 SE and the monitor is HP w1907I did some additional research and unfortunately did not come up with anything. My only other thought would be to try a smaller widescreen resolution such as 1360 x 768. If any other members have suggestions feel free to make them and/or anyone have this installed with this setup please try it SEE if you can get it to work.I tried 1280X800, but everything still looks stretched. Also, how do you enable anti-aliasing in this game?

Is there anyway to get it down by messing with the config.cfg or by messing with my network places or anything? thanks High ping tends to be down to your DSL provider and to the best of my KNOWLEDGE there is not much you can do about it. You say is about 30-60, is that for a big server?It all depends on what time you are online how many people are online with your ISP, How many people are int he server your playing in, Where the server is in the WORLD ,What you have running in the back ground. There's nothing much you can do. R0SSFrom what i can gather your saying that your friend makes a server on his computer. If this is correct then your ping is BOUND to go up really high, un LESS they are have super computer. For a good low ping game you need a server that is in you country and isnt a "Dedicated" Server which runs on someones computer. Hope this helps C}{r1$shut down any unnessicary programs in the backround. It frees up the cpu, page memory, etc. This might help you, it HELPED me.yea chris cool9 is right just search for a emty server and both of you jump in and play with normal ping KK Go to options - Keyboard - advanced - enable developers console Enter a server type "CL_Cmdrate 5" and press enter then type "Restrictconsolecommands 1" ^^^^ - just type restrict and it should pop up in a box you can click Cmdrate drops your ping like a mofo to like 7 and restrict... well it restricts any commands a server might give you so you cant be kicked.

Answer» First, I share the main and operational computer with the family. I do not run the ADMINISTRATOR profile of the computer. That is the PROBLEM. In order to download the game I had to be logged on to the ADM. profile. I downloaded it to the Shared Programs folder so that i could run it on my profile. When I try to do so, the disc is not read and it asks for the disc. The situation is if I'm on the Adm. profile it loads fine. Help me out. This is not a major problem but is definately an inconveniance. I doubt it is necessary but the game is Diablo II. The same download process was USED for the original Diablo and it loads/works on my profile.Try running the installer as administrator, right click "Run as". Ask your administrator to FILL out the password. doing this from my profile?Indeed. I've only worked with XP Professional, so I am not certain if it is available in XP Home.

192.	Solve : i hope Epic responds and helps us out?
Answer» i hope Epic responds and helps us out I'm writing this to help me and everyone who wants to get into the game industry and wishes to know or hear stories on how the guys at epic got their jobs and how they would recommend starting preparing for the industry and what they should do and don’t do. Please Epic; enlighten us with your stories. (People please ask questions here too... i hope Epic responds and helps us out) Here are some of my questions i would like to ask, I love games; I want to be a game designer. I enjoy writing long stories, drawing free hand (mostly faces and bodies) and even photoshoping images and I’m slowly learning how to 3D model (Maya is a bit more friendlier to me... 3D max feels a bit complicated hehe). But I want to know. How important is Video game schools? Like If there was a program I would take it would be "Game Art & Design" BUT that seems to cost the most money ($21 000 CDN for a one year diploma at Vanarts in Vancouver >.< quite a bit of money). So I want to know... what happens if I train myself with tutorials, books and DVDs (i got a big book for Maya and a couple DVD's) and i recieve the same amount of information and skills as someone would get from school (maybe even more ^_^)? How much will my chances of getting a good video game design job be compared to taking a $20 000 course? Cuz I really want to work for a video game company and the two closest that look fun are Bioware and Silicon Knights (CALGARY and St Cathreens, Ontario)... of course I would love to to work for Epic... but I'm sorry, I have no PLAN in moving to the states YET... hehe. Also could you recommend any good schools? Like with a decent residence plan in both USA and Canada (I’m just a graduate high school kid here! Hehe)? Any other questions from others please post them here. __________________ Thank you for your time, Sincerely, Who's Epic? You could check out Epic's job site. I wouldn't expect them to respond to you here. I'd be surprised if they even responded on their own forum. The easiest way to get your foot in the door is to personally know someone in the industry. Otherwise, you're really gonna need to strut your stuff and prove that you're better than the rest. Of course, it might be easier to get into a Canadian company.I wanna get into the game industry! But I've never HEARD of Epic. guildwarsize, to get into a company like that, you would need to send them like a demo game or painting something to Epic, because they would rather choose someone with a diploma of whatever it is you want to do. But if they see that you are good at making games or drawing or whatever you are applying for, they might employ you. By the way, do you know of any good game programs that support 3D models?I would love to work for bungie I can make my own HALO CE maps but they aren't the best maps to look for.........

194.	Solve : Help with Sims 2?
Answer» OKAY, I don't want to lose my houses and families.I need to un-istall and reinstall the sims to my SLAVE drive which has 230 more gigs than my main drive. I can't keep it installed in my main drive because i don't have any room. I've already deleted everything i could from my original drive and ive un-installed any program i could reinstall in my new drive. Even if i have enough room to install Seasons I know it cant handle another expansion pack. SO, is there any way for me to MOVE the file that holds all my game data, un-install all my expansion packs and re-install everything into my E drive? Then just SOMEHOW use the same game data?Are you trying to install Sims to another drive? If you are, i think you can change the directory of the folder to install.thank you for replying, i got it figured out already but i appreciate itNo Problem

195.	Solve : Note to Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde: It's On !!!?
Answer» Note to Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde: It's On Flex those chomping muscles, retro gamers: the Pac-Man World Championship goes down starting next week on Xbox Live Arcade. On April 25, contenders willing to drop 400 Microsoft Points ($5 in real money) can sign up, then spend the next two weeks chomping the power pellets in an effort to become a finalist in their region (those would be Asia, Australia/NEW Zealand, Canada, Japan, MEXICO, Europe and the United States). Then the finalists are FLOWN to New York in June for the final throwdown, with the winner receiving 26 years of free Quiznos subs (the sandwich company is also behind this), 100,000 Microsoft points, and a Pac-Man themed Xbox 360 console. Oh, and the victor will also be crowned the Pac-Man World CHAMPION by the game's creator, Toru Iwatani. I get geeky goose pimples just thinking about it. I do have to quibble about the title, though: "Pac-Man World Champion?" Maybe I'm too much of a purist, but so far as I'm concerned if you're not playing a coin-op, you're not playing the real Pac-Man. The controllers are different -- just ask the battered muscles in my wrist -- and there's a world of difference between a marathon game standing or on a stool and one in a chair. I'd like to see what would happen if the finalists had to play on arcade machines instead of Xboxes. But hey, that's just me. PERHAPS a bit unrelated, but you reminded me of a drawing my pal MC did... http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/38575377/thats way cool, I didn't know she was such a who_e !!! lmao " " This shouldn't count, as it's not real Pacman. Maybe "Pacman World Champion: Xbox Edition/Section" would be more appropriate.

196.	Solve : Trouble with Maple Story and my Router?
Answer» Hi! Im having TROUBLE LOGGING to Maple Story since I got this ADSL Router. I'll explain the situation: When I double click on the MS logo the Game Guard connects and authentycates, but after it does that, it closes off and it doesnt give me an error. Deleting the Game Guard FOLDER wont work and the ipconfig either. My suppositions: I have played (or tried playing) MS on switches and two types of router (the ones that uses private IP's with 192.168.0.xxx and the ones that uses 192.168.1.xxx). The 2nd type of router is the one that I got now and it doesnt let me log on; the other router and the switches went nice. You could say that I should format my PC, it wont work either because: When I was working at an office last year, I had to move my computer from home to the working place. there I could log on to Maple Story using, first, a SWITCH, second, a router (192.168.0.xxx) and the third, and I couldnt log on this one, another router (192.168.1.xxx); after I finished working there I RETURNED my pc home and I could play again MS. I dont know what to do for MS to work on; I already tried putting my PC on the DMZ, opening all the ports in the router (mad I know), played with the DHCP settings and even changed the DNS settings, and nothing. If there is anything else I can do and you know, please tell me. Im dead curious to know what to do.
