Sure do! If ever there was a case to prove that Jap games developers were doing some hardline Class-A drugs, it was stuff like this. Never did finish it, though Rainbow Islands got me well addicted in its day on the Amiga. Again, nothing at all wrong with a red-headed fat b*****d who can throw...

Oh well, I guess that will curb any road rage tendancies.... ;) Anyone got suggestions of 'obvious' stuff I should check first? I don't want to do too much with the air-bag being there. The last thing I want to do is for that thing to go off. Cheers, D.

I've got the individual MSVCR80.dll file, m8. I'll email it to you in zip form if you forward me your address. Just extract it to your Windows\system folder and give it another retry. D.

What issue did you have with the X-Fi, Roy? That was the major hurdle I had when I tried the beta version of Vista 64. That, and the wireless NIC driver. Anyways, MSoft is f**king me right off at the moment. That's probably the main reason for me sticking to XP for now - rather than any...

Cheers for the comments, Rum. Almost like doing SQL traces at work!!! Andy - I still use my old Microsoft Sidewinder FF wheel. Works great, but I'm thinking it's getting a bit beyond it's best now. Ben uses a game-pad and still owns the rest of us. ;) I'm still not bored with the Donny track...

Have you got Office 2007 installed? And are you on Vista? Looks like one (or both) have humped that dll file without Vaseline.... D.

Just gave Macau a go. Great start and finish, but the rest I feel like I'm on the run from the law down some alley-way. ;) I've fecked my installation up too by adding cars left right and centre. Clearly one of them is corrupt and crashes the PC back to desktop. Think I'll stick with the...

Cheers for the feedback, chaps! :) D.

Has anyone tried this yet, as we've got Photoshop CS2 installed on the Mac here. Just a general query (as I don't use it myself) whether CS3 is much of an imrpovement? Also, any news on a more accurate ETA for it's release? I've only heard that 'Spring' is the launch date for it. Cheers, D.

Fecking 'ell Rich! Mine wasn't half as good as that when I picked it up new from the dealership! D.

As Adam says - buying a DX10 card really should be your only choice at the moment. Unless you were offered say a 7900GTX or 7950GTX at a very decent price. That, or you had an existing DX9-gen card and wanted to go down the SLi or XFire route. D.

It all comes down to what you want to do Dave. XP64 actually has more in common with Windows 2003 Server and simply has XP 'bits' chucked on. I use both XP64 and XP32 on my home PC. A good 90% of the time, I stick with XP32, but there are some apps and games that make use of the 64-bit O/S -...

The Macau track seems to be getting some good reviews. Looking forward to this one. Anyone got some other decent recommendations for alternative cars? D.

Re: Forza Motorsport 2... GIGGETY! Oh lordy. Is has the 959 in it.....:eek: :D Maybe I should think about getting a 360! D.

Sounds like a graphics card issue from what you describe. What spec is your card? Do you have the latest drivers and DirectX 9.0c installed? There was an update for that in February. D.

You know you wanna be..... :rasp: D.

I'm no console player, but I think Microsoft did the best thing they could by promoting online gameplay - something that Sony seemed to ignore for ages. I presume they are addressing that issue with the PS3? Also of a worry for Sony (imo) is the number of disillusioned PS fans who are...

Much easier (and usually cheaper) to build one yourself, James. PC components these days are 'almost' idiot proof and you get the benefit of knowing exactly what's under the lid, should somthing go wrong. D.

Maybe for the rarity value? Seems a unique idea to me! D.

Griff, ourkid - you both have buddy requests. :cool: D.

Hmmm. Not convinced by the 197s I've seen at all. But that looks very good indeed. Drop it slightly and it would look even better. :cool: Liking the Meggy - very much so.... D.

What's your 2142 name, Griff? D.

Some of those ribbons and badges seem a little crazy to obtain. I think even some of the uber-geeks would have trouble acquiring them! I'm an amateur at BF2142 player though. I think Nebdingo on here is a hardcore BF2/BF2142 player....? D.

Have you got links to the mods, Ben? I'll give that a bash... Cheers, D.

Yep, still on BF2142 myself (when I get the chance). Just about keeping my 10:1 K/D ratio for the tank going, but it's all too easy to slip into single figures! http://battlefield.ea.com/battlefield/bf2142/PlayerDetails_Vehicles.aspx?Lang=us&SrchName=&PID=83664734&Profiles= Hoping that the...

Ah, I see what you mean. Ok smarty-pants, if you want to nitt-pick, SLi is actually a proprietary nVidia trade-mark - so even if Intel made an 'SLi capable motherboard', they would still have to licence the technology from nVidia. That, or come up with an architecture all of their own. :rasp...

Not to 'unplayable' quality as such - but certainly with enough wallop to make you realise that the hardware is working overtime to run it all smoothly. Oblivion maxed-out, outdoors and in the rain is a big resource hog - as it Supreme Commander, to name but two. D.

I'd definitely agree with that - swings and roundabouts! SLi is the danglies when used properly though. The other benefit of the 8800 cards (compared to my 7900GTX's) - is the support for DX10 as well. D.

That's the best way to go, m8. Buy a great card now and then track it's price over the next 6 months. Then nab another one when it's probably half price! ;) D.

You sure can - they've even had nForce 4 mobos in Intel & SLi combo for quite sometime. More often than not, nVidia make both an AMD and Intel spec of the same chipset - such as the 590 and the 570. Clearly, the 680i is an Intel-only option at the moment though. Just make sure (because I'm...
