I have a problem!! Ok anytime I run a game whether it be jk3, ffxi, kotor, whatever. The game runs really bad! Its like the screen as you move, goes in slow motion. Its horrible! I first noticed it in ffxi, but then I went to play jk3 and it was there too. Then I tried Kotor, same thing. Any ideas? We did a defrag on my pc. I also updated the latest driver on my graphics card. The card is a Geforce 4600 i think. Any idea what the problem can be? HELP ME!!! EDIT: Oh ya, my memory is fine. Only 1/3 full. _______________ RIP MOM 06/29/58-07/31/08 Married to Koyi Donita 4/30/11 This comment was edited by Smilykrazy on Sep 25 2004 12:59am. |

Windows won't let me close lsass. However when I reboot, I get two lsass processes, and it lets me close the false one.

Suppeh... Just got the internet hooked up to my crappy comp at school (p3 600MHz...yea...) but now that it's up, it's fartin on me. Every 5 mins or so I get a 'shut down warning' box that I can't close or bypass. It gives me one minute to save all my stuff before the comp restarts. The reason is because the 'lsass' process dies. Any ideas? ty |

Here is a tutorial for Quake modding I found in the old FAQ page of the site: http://www.planetquake.com/code3arena/ Some of the sections in there are about client-side though; hopefully, you'll understand which. _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow.

I have the same pro as Koyi. I am trying to play X-Com (Terror from the Deep if you must know ) and when I load it up, it runs the game WAY too fast, simply because its using the resources it can. Will that help slow it all down as well? _______________ I'm crazy, not stupid. |

I have a question and I hope it isn't a stupid one. On my old old old pc, I played games like X-Com that ran off of Dos from what I know. Problem is, my new computer now runs on Windows XP Hell Editions and I can't seem to get those great old games working again. I even tried the B.S. Compatibility Mode and it still won't work. Any programs I can purchase or download in order to make these games work on my new pc or should I take the advise of some computer shop hot shot who told me to buy a used older pc to run them? Thank you very much for your help in this matter. _______________ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

If you put something as your domain, the domain server MUST have your username and password. If your school doesn't do so, then don't use a domain name. Just use a workgroup. And well to log in as a local administrator, you have to choose to login to your PC (not the domain). Thus you'll have to use the password you set for Administrator of your PC, not the password you had when you chose a new domain. Try your older admin password, or, heck, try a blank one. _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow. |

Orion...I'm pretty screwed lol... I was trying to set up the network connection with my computer at school. Little did I know that the network outlet in my room wasn't even activated yet. Anyway I somehow changed the domain name to MCDONOGH from the original LANGUAGEMASTERS...now the computer wants to auto log in with username 'Administrator'...but the password I set up when I changed the domain, 'president', won't work. So I can't log in to my computer...whenever I try to log in it gives me the error saying I need to check the username and domain, then retype the password. Problem is the Domain input bar on the login screen has disappeared...so I can't figure out how to change it. My regular desktop login username is 'mstier'...so I tried to input in the username field 'LANGUAGEMASTERS\mstier' and then enter my password. I get the same error. I even tried 'MCDONOGH\mstier', but that won't work either... Any ideas on how I can log in?? Thanks, |

Bleh.... wondering, is there any chance I can get rid of my friggin lag, which is due to my WLAN (I'm almost 100% sure of this, as I am lagless when I use a cable)? It's an 11 Mbps thingy, dunno what you need to know to suggest solutions, if there are any.. |
