i am crazy but not crazy enough to try this. Well you don't even have to log in. You can't get to there since it'll say "There is a problem with your Steam installation. Please reinstall Steam". Just be crazy for 2 minutes and confirm that this happens And yes I get the same errors on ccleaner and …

Can you get Steam to work? Can you get CCleaner to work? Can you get pidgin to install?

There are lots of things wrong with this config. You should not use 1000 cycles. Use auto. You should not use simple core. Use dynamic. You should not use memsize 63. Use 16. You should not use vga. Use svga_s3. You should not use rate 8000. Use 48000. ( this is especially important since your …

Once the Doom3 source code comes out I think there will be a special vertex light simulation path for the rendering on older hardware being tried out by some crazy programmer, I predict

Re: how im portant is being period-specific?
Posted on 2011-10-25, 20:42
I'm crazy about periods. My 486 only has software as new as 1997. But this is hard to do since older video drivers for older video hardware are harder to find

Partition magic? Tried to look for old screenshots, couldn't find any with huge pies and colorful captions. It may have been from a shell extension, but I think that it was just native to Win9x. I remember it from just calling up a drive's property sheet (on the first tab) in Explorer. By disk …

Well, yeah. It's Bethesda. A lack of testing, more hype than substance, more news about paid-for glowing reviews and DLC than there is for patches and bugfixes... its how they've rolled for the past 20 years. It's how RAGE and Brink got bad launches, further tarnishing the id software brand, …

I've had this symptom from a killed PSU before - the half permanent power on when plugged. You would only hear the PSU running and nothing else would be running. immediately gutted that thing out of there before i assumed the worst (kaboom)

If no one talks about it, then it's officially old. Publishers, press, etc. act on a goldfish memory, since the prolongued interest of a game these days is less than 1 year with over restrictions and DLCs etc... and if there's DRM that's notoriously invasive, it'll be even shorter.

That pie-chart'd your hard drive's disk usage? Details I remember: - 1995-1996 is when I last saw it - It had a blue/cyan "colorful caption" on the window (this is prior to Win98 - many apps tried to spiff up their captions for the hell of it) - It used pies - Win32, for Windows 95
