Stinger, Too late bro i already did that and then some, so to make a long story short its 5 am and i have just finished doing a non-destructive system recovery on my pc since it said that my os was corrupted and i'm trying to back up all my files before i reformat the hd completely. i got it to work earlier but it showed 2 monitors one with the onboard and one with the nvidia, so i set the nvidia as my primary and the screen went black, i could not see anything but i could hear sounds and all that stuff.

the funny thing is that my girlfriend was telling me "if it ain't broke, then don't fix it", she thinks i got it all working and that the system is ok

March 2, 2003

Stinger, yeah they are still there, i only disabled the onboard in device manager and in bios. could that be the problem? can you give me a sequence of steps that i could follow? Thanks for the help.

Today i went out and got the geforce mx 440 se 64 mb vid card, it is made by a company called apollo.

I followed all instructions which was to power down and disconnect monitor and everything else from the pc then install the card in the pci slot, then turn on the pc and install the cd. i tried that but when i turned the computer on with the monitor connected to the card, i got a series of beeps and the screen stayed black and eventually the monitor turned off. so i unplugged everything again and this time plugged the monitor into its original socket, when i logged into xp it found the new hardware and installed all the drivers and all that stuff and everything looked ok. so after a restart i went to bios and selected pci instead of on board agp then i went into device manager and saw that the card was there along with the onboard video, so i disabled the on board from device manager. i did a restart and there were no beeps but the screen was still black, i don't know what else to do, i'm so upset since the store does not offer refunds just exchanges :wall: i just feel like i got ripped off or something :angry:

if i'm doing anything wrong (i hope i am) can someone please let me know, otherwise its the card and i'm out $139 canadian

Hello everyone,

I have been planning to upgrade my video card for a while now and after some searching and saving I have narrowed it down to two choices:

GEFORCE 4 64MB PCI VIDEO Video Card #1

ATI RADEON 7000 64MB PCI DDR 32-BIT,3D, 2X/4X MPEG-2 Video Card #2

There is only a difference of about $11 dollars between the two. I'm planning to get either one tomorrow after I get off shift or on Monday . Any advice would be helpful.

My System Specs:

HP PAVILION 7935

Athlon 1.3/200FSB

ASUS A7V-VM (GLAS)

MAXTOR 40 GB HD

32MB S3 GRAPHICS PROSAVAGE (ON BOARD VIDEO)

384 MB SDRAM

Well, I guess the States are going to be dropping MOAB's, but Canadians are going to be dropping Sea Kings.

The state that the Canadian Forces are in. First it was GREEN CADPAT camo for troops in Afghanistan :wall: and now a Sea King (30 hrs maintenance = 1 hour flight) takes off a ship and crashes after reaching a height of 16 feet or so. :wall:

I wonder what's next <_<

I just finished reinstalling GR/DS/IT and patched it up to 1.4. I decided to have a look at the IKE file and noticed a few things like missing rsb files. Is this normal? I did a fresh install since these missing rsb textures were present when I checked IKE before, and was the main reason why I removed everything and did a new install. :wacko:

SOTOMac and NYR_32, Thanks for all the help

February 28, 2003

Thanks for the reply giwex. I had patch 1.4 installed already before i did the uninstall. I just want all those maps without having to go through the whole thing again

February 28, 2003

Hello all,

I had to uninstall GR/DS/IT from my pc last night. I plan on reinstalling it again later on today. I was just wondering if anyone can help me out with the xml files that unlock all specialists for all three campaigns as well as all the maps, I forgot to save the xml files into a separate directory before I uninstalled.

As for the patches, does the sequence matter, I mean can't i just install patch 1.4 after I install all three GR campaigns or do I have to get the patches installed in sequence?

Thanks,

Aggressor :ph34r:

I think that moving vehicles should be used to some extent in GR2.

for example a fixed gun mounted on a truck/jeep should remain useable if its not naded. you should be able to hide inside downed choppers, etc. some creativity will be needed for sure.

excellent idea.

As i recall, during the gulf war spec ops units did have those dune buggies and or atv's. It would be fun to drive a Hummer and run over a few tangos. :ph34r:

Hello all,

I'm still a newbie when it comes to mods and I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding which maps work best with which weapon/skin mods? Or do all map mods work well with any weapon/skin mods?

I recently downloaded IDF 1.3, 22nd SAS and EARL's Vympel mod and I'm looking at some new maps to play these mods on. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Aggressor :ph34r:

February 21, 2003

I was just wondering about the progress of this mod, any updates?

Thanks for all the hard work

February 21, 2003

Yesterday, I went on a downloading spree while studying for my exams, I must say that IDF has got to be one of the best skin/weapon mods out there, thanks for all the hard work.

Can't wait for the new mod :ph34r:

February 21, 2003

I have never cheated when playing MP, its bad enough that people cheat in every day aspects of real life but in a video game too, come on :angry:

I have used some of the codes for SP (where chickens explode(too funny) , and people have big heads or something like that) I also used them when I got stuck in certain areas, etc. That's just an easy way out especially if you get fustrated and it feels nice to beat a computer with help once in a while :ph34r:

Just my two cents.

February 21, 2003

EARL,

I would like to thank you AGAIN for the Standard Upgrade mod, its AWESOME and also for the Vympel mod, I was very impressed with the standard upgrade and looked at the Baconbomb site for the first time today and saw the Vympel mod and the rest is history , the whole mod is very professional and simply awesome I'm having a blast..which is good except I have a Microbiology exam tomorrow, but one more hour won't hurt right? :ph34r:

I've got a MS Intellipoint optical mouse (not cordless) and I've had no problems with it so far. :ph34r:

Original GR and the two expansion packs, and the game that started it all for me Rogue Spear Platinum Pack :ph34r:

February 19, 2003

I personally prefer M4's (SOCOM and frags, M4/M203, MASTERKEY) and the OICW is good as well. :ph34r:

Congrats on the 1000 members . Rocky regarding your avatar it looks good, just out of curiosity is that a general's uniform? :ph34r:

I must say that its much friendlier here when compared to UBI, I remember seeing a whole thread dealing with two or three people just constantly flaming each other, it was an interesting read at times, but very immature IMO :ph34r:

February 19, 2003

I tweak a few things here and there, but if I am not sure I leave it alone til I can find out.

I agree. I always make sure I have an up to date restore point before I do some tweaking. Thank God for system restore. :ph34r:

February 19, 2003

Well, to each his own. BUT GR KICKS BUTT :ph34r:

February 18, 2003

Thanks Dark Ranger Will try those tweaks today :ph34r:

Ruin, don't get it if it doesn't have an AGP slot. I have an HP Pavilion 7935, it seemed pretty good when i first got it, mind you i knew nothing about video cards, pci, agp and all that stuff. But right now i wish i had bought a computer with an agp slot.

I was on the phone with a tech two days ago and he showed me some bios tweaks to somewhat upgrade my on board video performance. It was a learning experience, but anyway i'm at 32mb "agp-on/board" versus 16mb pci.

I asked the tech about upgrading my on board graphics to a real video card and when i told him that i had a pci slot and no agp, he told me that it would be like "taking a step backwards since the agp architecture is more efficient than that of the pci"

Knowing what i know now...i would have just build my own computer i think that for $2000 CDN i could have gotten a better comp, well in terms of video anyway. did i mention that i only have two slots for SDRAM :ph34r:
