Mr. K ... is fast user switching on? Try turning it off and see what happens. It sounds like Windows may be trying to send your program events to another user, which is a known oddity in XP. As far as killing the system beeps ... download Tweak UI if you don't have it already, go into...

Something I clumsily discovered today whilst breaking various things in my network. I use XP's built-in NNTP client to synchronise time over the internet, but I wanted a way to synchronise the time across all of my machines, especially my 98 box, without having to run a bunch of NNTP clients...

Actually, I recently came back from a break from CS (whilst playing DoD) to find that I now somehow rock. I don't know where these new skills come from, but I hope they stay for a while. I'm mostly playing on narby's clownhut these days with those wacky CS-Nation folks. One of the few North...

From what I understand, region locks are illegal in NZ. The Aussies are nearly as lucky ... the Philips player my fiancee purchased retail in Oz -- the very same model as one of my NTSC players purchased in America -- is not only region-free, but PAL/NTSC, as well. You can't buy that sort of...

Now you know why. :P

Not so bad for me, bless my ISP. I ping anywhere from 100-150 to most good European/UK servers. In other words, better than EP does from two blocks away. :P

Naked sprays of EP eating cheese are next. (Pimpdaddy G? Have you been smoking crack again?)

I agree -- this is probably a heat problem, although it also looks like it could possibly a sign of video memory gone bad or overheating.

I'd be pretty cranky, too, if I had to put up with that monkey banging the cymbals all day.

Guess I'll have me go. I'm 26 (I think) this August, but I have the body of a 40-year-old man. I've worked in inventory and database management, and was a PC repairman and tech 'til I finally went off my tree. I'm now completely bonkers, hence unemployed. (I do often joke that working with...

Finally tried DoD b3. Yes, it rocks in mad ways. I'm a bit annoyed by it, since i seem to have the mystery (non-paging) stutter problem, but it's not bad enough to completely hinder my experience. You guys been keeping up with CPL stuff over the past few days? I've caught a couple of HLTV...

I swear, I'm gonna have to start a world tour or something educating computer users about the difference between bits and bytes. After that, I'm gonna go around smacking software developers in the head for encouraging the confusion, and tell them all to stop bloody measuring data rates in bytes...

I've heard nothing but horrid things about BT's ADSL service. Reeks of overselling and downtime.

Camper. Is the new DoD that much more graphically intensive? Heck, I always got better framerates with DoD than I did CS, for some reason.

If it were offered here in Nashville, I would physically wet myself and cry for about a half-hour, then lose everything I hold dear for being tethered to a PC for days on end, downloading huge files I couldn't possibly ever need.

He isn't, mate ... he said it wasn't real. Meaning that either it tested through a proxy, or he just plain doctored the pic. It's not that far-out, though -- OOL, a provider here in the states, offers 6Mbps cable service for fairly cheap. That's about the best you're gonna do without a...

Don't listen to them ... 512Kb is good broadband, especially in the UK. Be lucky to have it, and pity the poor buggers still struggling with dial-up. We Americans patting our unlimited megabit and higher connections may not be doing so for much longer -- US ISPs are overselling, capping, and...

Um ... duh. And Gizzmo -- I'm afraid I can't recommend anything that you haven't already tried, but I can tell you that it shouldn't have anything to do with other players and/or codecs, as I have many installed as well. It also shouldn't have anything to do with DX9, as I've never...

Geez! You put me on the clan page when I didn't even know the clan had a page ... sheesh. I'm not totally dead these days, y'know. :P I still haven't tried DoD b3 yet. I was fairly into DoD for quite some time, especially those couple of weeks they let the Steam closed beta testers have a...
