As said before, all you need is the key. Then grab the ISO, check the hashes and there you go.

To everyone buying Crysis: http://www.incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=23117 It's a mod that makes the game look better AND less taxing on resources. For comparisons sake, I was running on high (level 4) on a C2D, 9800GT(8800GT) and 2GB of RAM, 1440x900, but no AA and I was getting 40fps average. Not bad for 3 year old system that was midrange when I bought it.

Just to clarify; Are you guys saying that when you play a game in windowed-full screen, that the task bar is always there no matter what, or it only shows up when you press the windows key /alt tab etc.

Regarding 2010, just tried installing this morning and the tech preview didn't want to uninstall. Something about the install missing a file or some such. I tried using the Windows Install Cleanup tool, which removed it (apparently) and at the end of installation it just says 'office has encountered a problem during installation'.

Did you happen to find a fix? I'm seriously thinking of just reformatting. 2010 Tech Preview doesn't want to install either. Fortunately my uni year is finished so I won't have to use it for while, but still.

Anyone else getting this ? A new icon thing shows up, rather than expanding the existing one. Doesn't happen with any of the other programs either. Haven't changed any settings, so I figured it was a chrome thing, but my brother has the exact same version of chrome, same taskbar settings and there's nothing wrong with his. Tried rebooting, repinning the icon. EDIT: aaaaaand 5 seconds after posting this, I fixed it. Pinned the new icon that came up, and unpinned the old one. 4 Day Weekend fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Dec 13, 2009 |

I use rainmeter skins instead of gadgets. Only a clock and a network utilisation meter though, I don't really need anything else. The latest rainmeter version fixes the aero peek problem.

Wait, is that just if there are files on the desktop, or icons or what? I've got a ton of crap on my desktop, but my I set my icons to off and I haven't really noticed any reduced performance? Should I clear up my desktop folder anyway?

I formatted a HDD for FAT32 just now, copied files over and played them on my PS3. Brought it back to my PC and in a moment of stupidity, tried plugging it back in without turning my machine on. Got a black screen on my monitor and fan blowing at full speed. Rebooted and got a BSOD, tried without the fat32 HDD and it works fine. Now, the HDD works fine, I can see it in safe mode and I can still play everything on it on the PS3, it's only when I try and boot windows normally do I get the BSOD. Any ideas?

The drive is SATA 2. I'm using AHC1 mode if that matters. I tried switching to IDE but I still get a BSOD. Tried automatic startup repair and a different sata port, no dice. Interestingly, on safe mode with networking it says 'searching for preconfigured drive'... The bsod code is 0x0...116, if that helps. Copied some things to it , tried it in the enclosure (worked fine), plugged it back into my PC and bam, BSOD. PC was off this time when I plugged in/out. vvvvvv No copy of windows on the drive and I'm sure it was booting off the correct HDD. Safe mode worked fine, it even saw the drive. I should probably clarify just in case, whenever I say plugging it into my computer, I mean via sata data/power cable, not USB via the enclosure. Just tried the same thing again (copying files, moving drive to enclosure, using it, moving drive back) but this time I was careful; swtiching off PSU, waiting 20 seconds after powering off before unplugging the HDD, and no BSOD. Guess I just have to be careful. 4 Day Weekend fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Feb 15, 2010 |
