Specter

Sure thing. I'll get you step by step directions typed up here this evening. Look for them.

What choice did they have but to support it, with that circus they are running over there called Vista? It's already 2 years late. They must be following the Ubi/GR franchise business rules ! ! **Runs away without the gimp. Took my Glucosamine Condroitin before making this post ! !**

CYNICS, the lot of you ! ! **Runs away with a gimp**

You're a bad, bad man.

Spec, I know you pay more attention to this than I do so: Is Vista definitely delayed past Q4? Are you just predicting based on the continuous delays up to this point? Or is it more specific, as in you're aware of some of the problems they're currently having and suspect it will take longer than 10 months to get it worked out? TIA --Logos ← I have based my opinion so far on their track record of pushing things back, and the amount of problems they ahve been having. Plus if you look back at how long it took to get DX9 fully implemented, the prediction follows that

Yeah. THis brings back bad memories of the same things they did with GR2 right before they dropped the hammer on us.

Quite honestly, since the release date was supposed to be a couple weeks from now, and we haven't even seen a demo, I don't think the hold up is polish work. I think it's strictly business politics on Ubi's part. It has to be. Afterall, only politics can make sense of what doesn't make sense. I think the PC version is done. I think they are having trouble with the 360 version, and we are stuck waiting on business politics, plain and simple. I think we've heard nothing new on the PC version, because there is nothing new to report. It's done, all we lack is a demo. And we won't get

What in the ever lovin' name of all that's holy?!?! Who said you could bring rats into this? Man, I hate rats. Man, I hate rats.

OR you can just skip Vista for a year or so and stick with XP. Vista will cost more than that new LCD anyway. The new LCD will give you less trouble, and save you money.

Fdisk, Format, and Reload. Fdisk isn't really something tht is needed anymore. That refers to a term used on WinMe and older OS's, and Linux, but it stuck for the term FFR. It means, just format and reload your system.

Right click on your toolbar, and choose customize. There is a history button there, along with all manner of other buttons that you can choose to add if you so wish.

I don't think DX 10 is going to be out by then. DX9 cards are going to be fine for a good while. everything else in your post is good advice.

Well, if it is a jack problem, which it sounds like, the only real solution is to replace the sound card. You can probably get one at a fairly decent price from Newegg or Best Buy.

Sounds like the jack, bro.

The best thing to do is take my advice. Moving Windows is a nightmare, and 99% of the time, it won't work. Just FFR. It's the fastest, and reliable way to do it.

That's why. Chalk up another console convert. (and associated game royalities to MS) ← Yep. I guess that would do it, wouldn't it? Now you know why the PC Gamers must now take a backseat.

In that case, it sounds like you have a jack on the sound card going bad. Check to see if it feels loose, and plug your headset in, and spin the jack inside the connector to see if there is maybe just a piece of crud lodged in it or something. But if speakers and a headset are doing it, I'd say it's the jack to the sound card. Is it a jack coming right out of the sound card or mobo, or is one that plugs in to that to give you a jack in the front of your case? If that is the case, try plugging your headset directly into the sound card or mobo and see if that fixes it.

You probably need to replace the headset. It sounds like a short in the cable, probably from bending and such due to wear. There really isn't a way to effectively fix it.

Simple answer: It's all about the 360, plain and simple. Y'all had might as well get used to taking a backseat to the console world. It's all about that console, because Ubi thinks that's where all their money is. What I can't figure out though is, the console is going to be there anyway, and console owners will buy the game, regardless of what the PC version is like, because they have the console. The only thing that common sense says, is that something is wrong with the PC version, that they don't want anyone seeing before the console version goes on sale. Otherwise, to me

Yeah, should run great. You might want to think about upgrading to the 128kb, though. ← This machine will rock with Dick Splash's graphics ! ! HOOYAH ! !

The best thing to do in this case is just reforamt, and re-install everything where you want it. What you want to do involves you buying software like Ghost or Drive Image(80.00), which you could get a new HDD for BTW,, learning how to use it, and getting Partition Magic, and learning how to use it. Then you're looking at about an hour, hour and a half of work time. In that time, you can do a nice clean FFR, and you are 100% sure everything will work, first time.

Get moved back, at least twice more.

here are my System Specs:

No, actually I'm not having a big laugh. And if you read about the product, it isn't about local storage.
