    Privateer 2: The Darkening

    Yo Just wanted to check really, does anyone have this running under 2000/XP, ive got the original DOS version and i cant even get it to install correctly, authough i can actually run the install program under XP which is more than i could do in 2000. Anyone have any luck, im almost willing to build a small win98 pc just to play this game, authough i doubt my MS joystick will work in DOS Anyway....anyone have any luck with this? I really wannna play this classic space game

    File in use??

    Hi Im just trying to work out why this is happening to these files, any input is welcome cos im all outta ideas.. Basically i have some mp3s in a directory, and when trying to play them it wont work. Winamp just skips to the next file in the playlist and media player tells me that the file is in use, and i know that its not. 1 thing i noticed is that all the files are read only. I tried to change them so they wernt and it says the same thing, also tried threw "cmd" and the attrib command. I cant even delete these files as there is an apparent sharing violation. If anyone could help me with this i will worship you forever 8) Oh yeah, 1 thing, i have noticed that it seem to be only the older mp3s that show this, all the new ones play just fine (by new i mean in the last 2ish weeks).

    battle of the computers

    Well i dumped my huge PC and got these instead here is 1 of my new things... http://www.btinternet.com/~m4carbine/shuttle.jpg Thats the intel 1, 1.6@2.3, 512mb, 80gb hdd, radeon 9700pro but i really fancied trying amd again, so its now turned into 1 with an NF2 Chipset, an XP2100+ @ 2700+ , 512mb, 80gb hdd and a radeon 9700pro. Cant say im sorry i switched at all, this amd one is without doubt 1 of the best machines i have ever owned, easily the match for any intel system ive ever owned in stability, not 1 crash so far. (and so tiny!) Havent got pics of the amd 1 but if anyone wants 1 i can always post some

    Who was the best James Bond?

    I gotta say Brosnan because Goldeneye is my favorite of the bond movies. I think Connery is good as well, but the problem is that obviously his movies were alot earlier, so they miss all the cool gadgets that they have these days. I think if he had the material that Brosnan has he could be just as good.

    3DFX + GeForce = GeForce FX ?? Hmmm

    Carmack speaks on Doom Leak

    Quake 2 was, shoot some dudes, find door, doors locked, shoot some more, find key, go back to door, open door and repeat I did like it multiplayer though, really enjoyed that.

    Virus jdbgmgr.exe

    This was actually really funny Last place i worked had this, and its suprising how quicky ppl delete it and then tell there workmates to delete it I think it must have been 100+ ppl in the end They felt pretty stupid though when someone told them it was a hoax

    Which harddrive should i buy???

    Well having said how great they are, my WD has just started making a really annoying high pitched whine noise. I have the worst luck with HDDs, this thing is about 1 month old ;( And WDs RMA process is worse than IBMs (unless your in the USA/Canada of course), im gonna have to send it all the way to Germany. ;( Kinda makes me appreciate Maxtors RMA, they can give you a drive before you even send your old one away.
  12. Yup there seems to be no way to get them running at the moment, and i doubt they will ever run. Ive tried all i can think of really, and if you check the madonion boards they cant get it working either

    Carmack speaks on Doom Leak

    Hey, that lightsaber was amazing, once i got that i dont think i ever used a gun again Doom III 'looks' pretty good, but wheres the interactivity i wanna give babes money and have them take there tops off 8) (Duke Nukem 3D ) and shoot little boxes and make them explode, and flush toilets and get health, and shoot out lights and have the room get darker etc Looks like quake 2 with bump mapping to me, but i dont doubt it will get rave reviews

    Defragment

    Yeah it tells me to do it as well, and i only installed WinXP yesterday If youve just done it then i wouldnt bother doing it again, leave it a month or 2 at least

    Defragment

    Its not supposed to give you any more free space, it just puts parts of files together so it speeds up hard drive access times somewhat.
  22. Yup that it no extra drivers required
