Sounds like you're having real issues, Mike. But Windows 10 is a real step forward. It's more slick and focused than 7 and light years ahead of the horrendous 8 that preceded it. As Andy says, there will always be issues with a new OS. I experience the weird 'not booting' issue that @Gareth has...

I think I recall that mission on the 360 version. I failed it a couple of times but then ended up in part of the sewer that the Feds had difficulty getting too. I sat there with sirens blaring in the background and just waited for the threat level to drop to nothing. Once done, I simply coasted...

I like how they are addressing issues with the existing game, rather than ignoring them and simply churning out additional DLC car packs. Good stuff. Kicked off the patch last night (PC) but not had chance to try it yet.

First full reformat on Wednesday night - pretty impressive with the speed. Took 19 minutes from the start to get to a point where I had a working Windows 10. Obviously, then I started adding things like Chrome and Steam, etc - but it certainly didn't take long. Had a bit of an issue with the...

Could be. It did seem to have a 'gushing' review in this month's edition. What do you actually need 48GB of dedicated gfx memory for in gaming, in 2015?

I've had that a couple of times. It goes through the start up process - the blue Windows icon appears and then the screen just goes black. The monitor is still 'connected' and not going into standby - and keys like NumLock and CapsLock can be enabled and disabled. I'm thinking that points more...

Pretty cheap that.... https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-001-8P Not really sure that the components justify the expense, really. And besides - if you could afford that level of kit - surely you'd want to build it yourself? Fair play that such kit exists in the first...

Looks like Creative Labs are keeping to their driver roll-out. I noticed a specific Windows 10 driver for my Recon3D being made available this morning - ironically after an update had killed all the audio on my PC outright. I'll be adding that to the reformat that I'm planning over the next few...

In order to rid of first... The Golf goes. It has nothing 'feature wise' that the Audi already doesn't. Nothing particularly outstanding about them either. The Audi goes. Get an ear-chewing off the missus, but it should at least have a decent resale value to line your pocket with monies. The...

Lemmings induced rage for me. I could cope with the first few levels and then that was it!

I know Pete Clarke well. He did the music for a lot of the Ocean branded games back in the day :) Not sure if Wizball was one of his though?

Don't forget Wizball too.... :)

Mine's always been the offside (driver's side) rear wheel. Never the nearside on the 182. Weird. I can tell that noise a mile-off now. :P

Chaps, Have you come across a set of wheel bolts that are in black? Ideally with a matching locking one too? After 11 years, mine are getting tired looking and a bit rusty. Cheers, D.

Silkworm was one of the first two-player co-op games that really worked, for me. Who's being the chopper and who's being the jeep? Really like the fact that neither was better or worse than the other. I remember a co-op Asteroids type game too - where the ship could be one of three...

Does it take 2.5" or 3.5" discs? Are you more interested in speed or capacity? As you say that additional storage space is important - I'd be looking at a SATA-III HDD - the largest you can get. Assuming that your PC has the relevant SATA connection and mount to house such a drive? Might be...

Epic. Always loved Supras since being at school - and I'm 40 now! I actually think this shape is the best incarnation that Toyota released.

Not sure if this has been mentioned - but for three times on the row, I've had an issue creating the media after installing Windows 10. On all three attempts (the ISO, USB and multi-language choices) - it got to 100% before saying 'Something happened' - with no other detail left on it. I read...

I might do. Tbh, I've lost track of what COD series is what. It all gets a bit meaningless. That said , I've always like the SP campaigns and never really the online aspect. Unfortunately, DICE thought it sensible to follow the upgrade everything options of COD and again, diluted the experience...

Brilliant - even more so that in today's world, you point and click and pretty much guaranteed a good photo. Those shots take skill and some amount of luck to get right. You could certainly get a few £££ from those, I reckon.

Nice one m8. I think that's a job for me tomorrow then. :up:

What a great all-rounder track car! Sounds epic, handles well and with a roof, can be used in all weathers :) Never been to Cadwell - does look a great track - if a little 'narrow'? The closest I've been to your clip was taking a 340R around Oulton. That was a good few years back mind, but the...

If you run it - it is the full blown version, not a mere upgrade option. But, I'd like to start afresh without my prior Windows 7 existing 'underneath' so to speak. I do get quite fussy with things like that. ;)

Chaps - has anyone actually got the process of keeping hold of the Windows 10 install files and running a fresh install from them? Like an ISO file or bootable media creator? If I run that Media Creation Tool again, now that Windows 10 is installed - will it just create a fresh version on the...

^^^ - Rainbow Islands was a stroke of true design genius. There were quite a few in and around that era - New Zealand Story being another. Both games were instantly accessible - involving and great fun to play. But massively difficult to be perfect at.

Too true. If we clicked our fingers together at work and all 320+ users suddenly had Windows 10 on their PCs, I'd expect a few calls but nothing major. Windows 8 would have just spiralled them into a blind panic. I couldn't think of anything worse than installing Windows 8 into the commercial...

It's worth doing Chris. Don't forget, Windows 7 is 6 years old now - and although that's not necessarily a reason in itself to make the switch - 7 certainly isn't getting any younger. The fact that that aborted frontal lobotomy of Windows 8 occurred, probably put the hold on Windows 7 SP2 ever...

I never really thought about the newer Meggys much. But Ph1 Tom's link looks to be a bloody good buy. My only reservation is if they 'felt' big. I love the nibbleness of the 182 - it's short and fat stature just look right and I wouldn't want that compromised - even in the face of much higher...

I think in that situation - you have to take onboard Stevo's view about it. You're pumping money into the car for yourself - not to sell on and (hopefully) make a profit. Certain cars just get under your skin - for no financial or practical sense whatsoever. The thought had crossed my mind (on...

Thought I'd come across my first Windows 10 issue last night. Fired up Project Cars for the first time since installing the new O/S and the game had no idea what the hell my G25 was. I quit and went to the Logitech Game Software and it had the keyboard, mouse, G13 gameboard - but nothing on the...
