Hell... I might as well chime in and get my share of complaining in ;)...

Honestly I lost interest in AO because I lost interest in computer security... I mean it's kind of like a broken record...

This is pretty interesting... Seeing as how I recall these people trying to get this script off the ground like 3 years ago, but couldn't due to the breach of google's TOS...

I agree with fourdc, there has to be some way to determine who is worth listening to and who isn't... Post count is not a good way...

Yeah... umm... This is extremely old and has been floating around the net for years now...

Indeed. I'm sure your motherboard has a cmos jumper next to, or around, the cmos battery. And you won't have to wait 12 hours either...

BTW, I see a lot of new faces around here... Where did all...

I use AV's when I can (I prefer avast!) but you don't need them. Like brokencrow said, just takes a little common sense. On my gaming computer all I have is Spybot, Adaware, and Firefox and it's...

Well then, it appears I have returned from a long absence... How's it going nihil :)...


MT, you'll have to open your PC to troubleshoot it this time... First thing is to open the case and turn...

Then we get to judge him on his command prompt skillz, eh undies? :p...

haha, bagggie you're funny...

Anyway, metguru has the right idea... Ctrl+alt+del to get to task manager, then click file > new task > type "explorer"

Also check event viewer to see if there are...

I don't quite agree with brokencrow's statement but I also don't quite agree with your statements HT... I don't think autologin is evil, and I understand it is security through obscurity, and yes I...

New technology like this scares me... First generation technology has a bad record of being foolproof... I would give these new storage devices (this includes terabyte HDD's) at least a year or 2...

There's a part of me that wants to smack you and a part of me that wants to help you... You want to mix a DDR2 DIMM with 4 dual channel DDR DIMM's... Not only can you NOT do that, but even if you...

I'm alright, I'm still lurking and creeping around :). I've been really busy, working 5 days a week (sometimes 6) at an auto shop. I quit my IT job (various reasons) and I'm now doing auto...

When you raise or lower the system clock you also affect the speed of all the other buses on the mobo (for example, your PCI slots or AGP slot could be rendered useless or unstable)... Depending on...

As a sidenote, Sirdice's advice applies only if you have xp professional...

It's good advice but you didn't tell us if you had home or professional so...

Hmmm... On startup, when you see the bios splash screen, there might be an option saying something like "press f11 for recovery"... Or atleast something similar. This is because a lot of vendors now...

Yeah if you got a laptop your kind of out of luck... You can change a bunch of settings but you won't be able to fully enjoy the graphics CS:S is capable of...



While that may have been the...

Yes, Counter Strike Source requires at LEAST an ati 9800 pro for decent graphics and overall smoothness, though I would recommend the nvidia 6600gt above the 9800 pro hands down...

...

True, but I just found that I can get a dual core dell PC for less money then a core solo mac mini :D... (that's right HT, YOU didn't have your pricing right :p)



Me neither, I was just using...

Bah, I don't see the need to go to XP Pro... If I stay with XP home I can get that for $682 and that's including the reinstall cd's and the dvd burner upgrade... The $682 PC is a better deal then...

Usually I do a google search on drivers to see if they're causing other peoples PC's to be unstable before I install them... Especially when installing drivers for other people because when this...

Perhaps, but for the price of the cheapest mac mini (using Intel core solo) I can get a PC with a pentium D (dual core) for just about the same price and that's just searching on Dell's site...
...

Ok... HT, you want to know the real flaw in Ron O'Brien's (and your's) advice? 90% of the people do not need the power that Mac's provide... So would it make sense to buy an $800 PC and spend $200...
