    ATI driver post-installation tidying

    Looking at the ATI driver tweak guide at www.tweakguides.com, I read a part where it says it is okay to delete the folder with the installation files after I've installed them.

    After 'System Shock 2'...

    I wonder if anyone here got a chance to play the awesome game, System Shock 2. Along with games like Undying and Silent Hill, SS2 is one of those rare games that scares me enough to force me to quit the game at certain times. Simply put, I love it. I always thought that the only fault in...

    I have my eyes closed, tossing and turning this way and that, for usually about 20 to 30 minutes before I fall asleep. Somtimes, it can get worse by taking an hour to fall asleep. When I go camping or something, my friends seem to fall asleep within 5 minutes (snoring and stuff). I'm the last to...

    What is with IE? :confused: I have gone to Tool > Internet Option, and I've set the homepage(startpage) to blank several times. Everytime I restart the comptuer or something, IE sets it back to MSN.com. I think it has something to do with SP2. Haven't had this problem before SP2. :mad...

    Help me help my friend... choosing Video Card.

    Using the upgrade for 5 months for Doom 3, Half-life 2, and Sims 2. And then he is off to the army. This is quite a tricky question so I couldn't recommend him right away. The cheapest Radeon 9800 Pro is $258 (US) here, so that is out of his budget. Geforce FX 5900 XT . . . $193...
