It's one of the most annoying settings on a PC. They are either On or they are Off. Failing that, they are Restarting. All this Standby and Hibernating nonsense just confuses things - espeically the calls I get when people accidentally put the bloody things in Standby and don't know what to do...
You actually use the Hibernate function? It's one of the first things I switch off! :)
If you click on Start, then go into Control Panel you should see a list of options - including one called Power Options. If you don't see it there, you may have to click on 'Switch to Classic View' on the...
Zorba - will do m8! ;)
Griff - I thought about D/L'ing it as well. But I've bought all of the BF1942 expansion CDs and that steaming pile 'o turd called Battlefield Vietnam. I need to keep my BF library complete! :)

Supposed to be out this Friday I think. Only £14.99 from Play.com so I can't really argue if it's a load of crap!
Be interesting to see how the new units and maps perform. I hope it's not all night-vision crap and too dark like Doom 3 & Quake 4 - that will really piss me off... :nono:
D.
LOL - keep your cash m8. I've spoken to a few staff at PCW regarding those Philips PCs - they've had loads of returns on them as they had quite a few issues.
See if someone will spec & build you one for the same cash?

Firey - when you select the multiplayer option and the list of server names appear and stuff, there's an option to connect to IP. Also, you'll need the port number and the password if there is one (like NEB-CM has set for this match)
D.
LOL Joel - it actually got it's first clean in about two months yesterday. I walked out to it this morning and thought 'fecking 'ell - it's shiny!' ;)
Not for long though, eh? Especially oce the councils start to grit the roads properly.
D.
Me too!
I'll have to put a heater in the attic where my PC is or else my fingers will freeze. It's so bloody cold up there! ;)
Good map choices too.
D.
NEB-CM - sounds fine by me m8. It's your guys server, so you just let us know the details as and when... :cool:
Zorba - NEB's server is on 85.236.101.13 - port 16668. It's already added to my favourites. :approve:
D.
LOL m8 - I had some bell-end last night flicking his rear fog lights on and off in front of me last night. Like, wtf can I do pal? They are autolights and xenons at that.
I should have put the 3 billion-candle power full-beam on to really piss him off! ;)
D.
cliohead - have you got a larger pic of that?
Zorba - not sure on the map m8 - the CM chaps will be picking it. They always go for the 64-player maps by the looks of it, so some practice maybe in order! :)
D.
Right, we should start a poll of preferred classes. There's no point in a dozen assault players if no-one is going to be a support/medic, etc. :D
My prefs (in order)
Medic
Support
Sniper
Any decent anti-tank guys or engineers out there?
P.S. I'm so-so at flying the planes, but a bit handy...
Me too - weekends are the best...
Are you CM lot using headsets though? That would give you guys a major advantage... ;)
Looks like I'll be double-teaming with ozzy - medic is my preferred class!
D.
Quite weird.
Took this picture of the moon last night. It had a ring-like halo effect on it. Just a shame I didn't have a higher rez camera and a steadier hand to take the picture with!
Good choice m8 :D
I've had mine since December last year and it's got a lot better with age. The gearbox imo, was horribly notchy from new but started to feel better from about 4,000 miles onwards. Now it feels great everytime the engine & transmission has had chance to warm up.
The engine...
Whatever floats your boat really, but personally, I think they are horrendous. This isn't a 1.2 owner sticking a RenaultSport badge on the rear of the car. It's a complete external transformation. I dread to think how much a 'decent' attempt must cost, let alone the many crap attempts we've...
Should I take out the ITG panel filter and swap it for the original one for the upcoming 12k service? Or should I come clean, tell them its there and not to bother charging me for a new filter?
I'll be taking it to a Reno dealer for the service. Unless Rentech opens up a branch, Manchester...
Battlefield 2 is massively addictive online. If you've got a broadband connection - even 512k will do, be prepared to witness hours of your life disappear....

Belkin have gone a bit down-hill in recent times. Like for like, I find Netgear to be more user-friendly...
Anyone had experience of Belkin's Pre-N stuff?
D.
In my view, I think they will retain their value. Rarity definitely has a positive effect on their values (I know the location of just one V6) and I think for most Clio owners, they are the car to aspire to.
Although not cheap, I think the general maintenance costs from what I've read from you...
