23rd March? As in 2007 or anywhere between 2008-2018... ;) D.

I can't understand why they (simBin & 10Tacle) have done all the ground-work for a truly excellent game and then fail to follow it up with exapnsion packs? Surely if the mechanics in the game are spot-on and graphics engine is sound, why not keep the fans happy with some more cars & tracks...

Hehehe! Easy fix then? ;) D.

Sounds like it being set via policy. Does the same American date format appear if you logon to a client PC with the domain admin credentials? D.

Or don't bother with any protection and just live in an area of yocals that don't even use slate and chalk yet..... ;) D.

Cool - I'm a bit short on a few of their products.... :) D.

Just goes to show how bloody common these Clios are, eh? ;) D.

LOL - yep, in the January sales.... ;) Still amazed how you get lap-times like that using a bloody gamepad! :eek: D.

Followed another black Clio home last night from Blackburn. The reg on it being MJ54 AWX. Mine's MJ54 FWX. They could have almost been seperated at birth. ;) D.

I forgot which Release Candidate I tried. Seemed quite nippy for an O/S but I'd be the first to disable all the flashy 3D b****cks - complete waste of time. I'll be sticking with XP64 for the forseeable future - I'll use Vista if and when some decent DX10 stuff comes out for it. D.

That's my thinking exactly, Lee. I know I won't have the features of DX10 available to me, but I can cope without those for now. You haven't got any for sale at your place, have you? :cool: D.

Have you noticed any specific improvement in having the 2nd gfx card in there? Just intrigued as to whether or not it would be worth a Fleabay search for another 7900GTX? Has anyone used a single card for a bit and then tried an SLi-supported game with the 2nd card running alongside...

Ben - you're my hero. Even though I don't want any kids, would you like some? :cool: D.

I think 172_girl's comment should be added to the sticky thread under common Clio problems. Good one that. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=187984 D.

LOL - that's a good idea! We get sh1tloads of those silica gel packs in most of the kit we order. Normally they get thrown in the bin. I may keep a few to one side now... D.

Re: OEM Licenses Yep - it was much easier when we were in the 3-year term of the OSL. When we bought out, it was far cheaper, but no it's a pain in the ricker in terms of keeping on top of things. :( D.

Re: OEM Licenses That is true - good post. The fact that the DVD packaging on my OEM WinXP-64 said "Only for authorised sale with a new PC" tended to give the game away, a bit! ;) D.

Ah - it looks like it wasn't a 'true' supercharger after all..... :) http://forum.mazda6tech.com/about3527.html D.

You know that to be the truth, young man..... :rasp: D.

I bet doing a lap in the Toledo would make the Elise look like it was on rails... I should get off BF2142 and put a few laps in.... :) D.

The staff will only arrest you if you decide to lick the cover clean afterwards...:quiet: D.

^^^^ - the Saleen is where its at. ;) D.

FMPSL! :cool: 9.15pm....... and still no time set by Mr. Ben? D.

If he uses PM, yes he can. If he intends to wipe all partitions when not in the O/S itself, it's not as easy to use - hence the methodology I said above. If you know what you're doing - then PM is fine - if not, you're asking for trouble. D.

Reformatting the drive will not remove any partitions. If you're reinstalling WinXP or Win2000 however, it's easy enough to delete them using that, prior to installation. Failing that, bung FDISK onto a bootable floppy and run that. Good 'ol DOS-based features - they never fail! ;) D.

Most definitely. Managed to have a 5-course meal plus drinks before Donington loaded up properly on the laptop. ;) D.

It's actually quite easy-going on the hardware, so long as you turn the detail down. I had it running on the works laptop and it didn't play too bad. When you start to tick options like hi-res dashboards (which needs a 256MB gfx card, iirc) hi-detail wheels, car livery, etc - then it does sap...

^^^^^ Ben will set the standard..... ;) D.

That colour is perfect..... :approve: D.

......ring ring.................ring ring................:banghead: Yep, a good five hours since we got back from a blast over to Bakewell and my ears are still buzzing. It's the first chance I've had this week to be a co-pilot in the Vee since its Quicksilver back-box transplant, last...
