  1. Did you install SP3 for XP? SP3 has been giving people with AMD a heap of trouble. Microsoft like any company they deny it I just have SP2 in my XP machines which are AMD and no troubles.
  2. I can't remember the episode of hak5 that had the LED Calculator if someone can find it or have a link I need it. Thx
  3. I only go off of fans now I tryed water cooling but was hooked up right and the pipe pop and anifrezze went all over my PCs inside and on my monitor. that PC case It still smalls like anifrezze. on a side note . I modded a 250watt to work on a AMD Athlon board I super charged it with 6 FANs with 1 switch per fan it sounds like a Jet engine
  4. I need to no on windows XP to totally lock down and make a wallpaper perma. wallpaper. I can to a patch file to reset the wallpaper every boot but I need a way to lock down the display properties and lock down to were you can't change the desktop from the picture preview and browsers IE and FF, This is for a laptop that I loan my cusion I just want to is there is a free app out that makes it to were you need a password to change the wallpaper. I found reg entrys to manully set the wallpaper and restrict the Display control panels and I can do up batch files for those but I want to know if thier is a app out thier, Also Linux is out of the question the CD-ROM drive is dead and HDD is about dead. The WIFI card for it is one of those that don't have a linux drivers for it from factory or 3rdparty.
  5. That kid was dumb with doing it on a school network. The school should upgrade to Nod32. My Nod32 will kill it even when downloading it from the web.
  6. this is more of a basic suggestion run Adware and spyware scanner Run Lavasoft ad-aware and spybot search and destory and for the concern of a leecher go into the routers setup and look in the Client list and see if the list contains the computers that suppost to be on LAN Getting stuff like that is all involed with the internet hygine. like not like clicking on links or downloading stuff from email that is from people that she does not know or downloading stuff from the net that is not trustworthy
  7. The webpage for it is down they have it going to the forums this is what they posted for the run down for yesturday * VReel launches at 5PM GMT * About 9,500 people try to connect at the same time - we're still up, but at a snails pace. * DDoS hits VReel - we're down. * Security patches applied, we're back up - and even more people try to connect at the same time. * User 66.221.196.117 tries to root VReel - and fails. * Even more people try to connect to VReel - and we're down again. * Server moved * Seems to be a hardware issue - rather than sit there waiting.. * Server moved * Database and cache split between two more servers
  8. Site looks decent but loads slow I hope they get better optimise. I had a DB connection error
  9. Source : http://www.simprograms.com/?p=692 This really grinds my gears…As reported here in the past, Mass Effect for PC contains a new type of SecuROM which will be present in all future EA/Maxis games. What does it do? Not only does it install itself to your computer without a word of notification as well as disable your firewall, dvd drives and cd/dvd burning software. It limits you to installing your game on your PC up to 3 times. This can be triggered via using up your 3 activations and each time you change a piece of hardware, reformat your computer or install/upgrade a new operating system, it takes up one of the activations. This is proven to be true by a guy over at the Mass Effect forums. He registered and started to play the game (Activation #1). Well, when he tried to play the game he had strange artifacts on his screen. Thinking it was an OS-related issue, he reinstalled XP and reinstalled the game (Activation #2). Finding out that it didn’t help the problem, he soon figured out it was his graphics card struggling. Well, he bought a brand new card and that solved the problem (this triggers Activation #3). Game ran fine for a short period of time (2 days) and he played thru it and completed the game. Well, a week after that, he decided he wanted to run thru the game again. This is where he stumbles upon this error: “The game can not start. For security reasons, only a limited number of machines can ever be licensed by a single purchase. This limit has been reached. Please purchase another registration code, reinstall, and then try again.” There is no doubt that EA will try to include this new version of SecuROM on Spore and possibly The Sims 3….and if it is, we are going to encounter some very serious problems. Heck, I can’t even count the times I had to reinstall the games, upgrade my hardware and reformat… You know, come to think of it…EA is doing this to prevent piracy of their games, but it’s only hurting us legal customers. Look at this: If you are a Pirate: * BAD: You do have the same bugs that those with legal copies have, plus new ones depending on how the cracked copy was programmed. * GOOD: Unlimited Activations! * GOOD: No SecuROM to deal with * GOOD & BAD: It’s free, but illegal If you are a Legal Customer: * BAD: Limited to 3 Activations * BAD: Your computer is plaqued with SecuROM * BAD: Game contains errors and bugs * GOOD & BAD: You support Maxis by purchasing the game, but you are also supporting EA, and if you support them, you support SecuROM Honestly…what looks better to you?
