Seriously. I know some ppl here must have been aware of BG since last November at least, but really. This guy is absolutely without peer. If you want to find the next Michael Jordan, then look no further. I'm not saying he will be a better defender, but he will be the overall better player...

[SOLVED] It's FutureCop LAPD's Precinct mode. Thanks Ninja6! I've been googling for more than an hour now, but can't find the name of the game I'm looking for. Perhaps Rage3D can come to the rescue? I played this game in 2001 or 2002, it wasn't necessarily brand new then.. IDK View was almost...

Setting the scene Since owning this build I've pretty much ran it at 3.4Ghz up until around a year or so ago when it suddenly refused to get past the memory check on boot if even a 1mhz overclock was present. I thought I'd cooked something and was lucky to still have a working machine, so I...

The problem Had a strange issue the last couple of weeks that appeared out of the blue.I remote desktop down to an XP machine from a Win 7 machine. Been doing this for ages with no issue. Now though I can make a connection, get the RD bar appear at the top of the screen and almost as soon as...

I can log in and out successfully using Chrome, Firefox and IE7, but IE8 and even IE8 tab (Chrome extension) does not work. I get a password error. I'm typing the thing in manually each time. :confused: I've repeated this process several times over the last week or two, with the same results...

With my rig I just can't get decent framerates in DX10. CPU: Core2Duo E6600 @ 3.4Ghz RAM: 4 Gigs GPU: 285GTX Driver: 196.21 I play DX9 all medium settings Vsync off, with default 55 FOV to get around 35 minimum 55 average (with stuff going on)@ 19x12. I get the impression that anyone else with...

Everything else works fine in Chrome, as far as I can tell. It's definitely still working in IE8 so it's a Chrome issue. Not too much of a hassle, just an FYI in case anyone wants to fiddle with it.

I'm surprised I've not been able to fix this in minutes like I usually do with these sorts of issues. Perhaps I've not drank enough tea yet today. My problem is with using an Acer AL2416W analogue connected to a GTX285 - I can't go above 1600x1200 when I want to run it at the native res of...

Question's in the title. We have one big sticky thread that has most of the stereo talk happening on the boards. However finding info and developing useful dialogue there is getting pretty hard due to the size of it and the number of different discussions taking place. Currently there's an...

So, I've got myself a 2nd hand bicycle which has been performing admirably for a while. Got a problem with it now though. On my way home yesterday suddenly it felt like the chain was slipping. I looked down but it was still on.. back wheel too. So I pedalled some more and it was okay, then it...

To answer my own question: I am going into my final year of a computing degree and have no experience with any of the server editions of Windows. I feel that I should know more about them. The real question then: What is the main reason some people / organisations use Server instead of Vista...

I've been coding using the XNA framework for a day or two now. Just mucking about seeing what can be done with sprites and such. I have to say it's remarkably easy and a lot of fun. My last experiences of attempting to code for windows (win32) using C++ a good few years ago and it wasn't...

I use Vista 64 on the rig listed to the left. I've had an odd little issue for a couple of weeks, that first became apparent when viewing .VOB files using the VLC media player. To start with I could watch these files in full with no problems. However two weeks back I tried watching one again...

:eek: Massive earthquake just hit! Lasted for ages... about 30 seconds for the main shake at least.. Feeling after tremors now.. eeeeek!
