    Doing the format proves you are a llama who has no idea what is wrong with his system. Don't give in.. just frag T2 and move on to a better game.

    You wont regret it.
     
  2. Ahh TSO...anyone here ever been to one of their concerts? [I've been to two of them myself...probably lost a bit of hearing while there]

    If anybody wants to listen to their music I will glady convert my CD's to MP3 format and host them on my FTP server.

    Then how come my system has been working smoothly for 3 years straight? All you have to do is clean your registery and use other tools to keep it clean.

    Don't worry though I still :love: you.

    *no you can't come over tonight*

    Hmm don't know how long it takes to boot. Haven't turned it off in months.. I'll guess though.. 25 seconds? I never really understood why people turned off their computers. There's no reason to turn them off.

    I've always heard that it is better to leave them on but then again I know that is a debatable subject.

    Yes it is, I turn mine off because its so damn loud I would not be able to sleep (6 fans) My linux box remains on 24/7 been up 7 days now.

    I could not even leave Win98 running for a day lol, I playde games that seemed to degridate its performance till it completly died. (I run 2000 now)

    XP intimidates me. ME simply seems weird to.. me. 98SE loves me.

    What games do you run that 98SE has problems with?

    T2 used to crash all the time.. more than it does in 2k. Plus I always managed to bog down 98 somehow.

    ME is just plain evil.

    Win2k is the best OS Microsoft has ever put out.
     
  11. I've been running 98SE since Last March and I've never had a problem with it that I couldn't recover from (Can you say Bad Video Drivers?)

    I have been running Win2k since last March and i have never had a problem with it.

    Not one.

    Nothing at all.

    /me knocks on wood
     
  13. Thing is we have all been a little conditioned by Microsoft. One of the big things with XP is that it boots quicker, well that is a feature with a catch....

    Personally, If my computer took 30min to boot, but I could leave it up and running for a year without needing to reboot that would be a lot better than an OS that boots in 2 min that I have to reboot 3 times a day.....Win 98.

    XP is a combination of these worlds, but in reality there are OSs out there that you can leave up for years at a time and they will just chug away and do their thing.

    I don't hate 98 but it does turn to shit quickly, but I must say that I never had as many problems with my 98 boots until I started playing T2, without exagerating I've had a good system for about a month max since I've been playing T2. That and RW seem to love to fuck up my computer beyond repair, and since they are the only 2 things I have installed, I know its them.

    Oh well, I'm in love with XP despite the *cough* minor security issues. The only thing that really pisses me off is that I wanted to have 2 XP boots, 1 for games, and 1 for development. Running SQL 2000 and T2 at the same time doesn't seem like a bright idea. But when I loaded an image of my XP boot on a different partition on the same fucking computer, it wouldn't let me log in cause it said the authentication couldn't verify my hardware set up. FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!! So now I have to figure out a way around that, I'm open to suggestions.

  15. I tried to install 2K about a week ago, and it went whack. Everything was cool until I DL'd the SP2 update, and then it screwed up the registry, and my cPC refused to boot. Had to reformat. XP install failed telling me I had corrupted files or someshiat like that. I gave up on both and went back to 98SE which is extremely stable for me.

    I don't think MS put's porn in their operating systems.

    Why is it that AOL insists on inbedding itself in the operating system AND in explorer? Maybe because AOL is evil?
