Normally you would pick up firmware at the drive's manufacturer's website, or your computer manufacturer's site.
It's unlikely that it is a firmware issue, if the error you were getting mentioned the RPC server, and you had the msblast.exe worm, which directly affected the RPC server.
Get rid of the blaster, and you *should* be good to go.

In that case, yes, it is a good deal.
It's not great though.
Give NewEgg.com a try. I've filtered out a list of GF FX 5600's (although I didn't remove the cards with only 128 megs of RAM, sorry), and the same tech you are looking at start at $140USD, with the first major brand name card being a Gainward for $154.99
Still, the price you quoted is very reasonable.
Enjoy the new card.

Not exactly what you were looking for, perhaps, but this site is selling a few of those models from $1650-$12500USD, depending on exact model and condition.

What's the currency in? USD? AUD? CAD?

I don't know of any automated program that would let you do this without a VNC style client of some kind.
In terms of the fastest way to do it, writing two batch files (*.bat).
The first one, named "TCZ Only.bat" for example, would upon a double click, either rename or move all of the non-standard *.mis files in the "C:\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\Ghost Recon\Mods\Origmiss\Mission\" path (that's the default). The batch file would have to be updated each time you added more custom missions, but that's the easy part. It may also be easier to rename custom missions in a way that the batch file can automatically parse the file names, like changing it so the custom *.mis files all start with some common, unusal string that the batch file can scan for when run.
The second batch file, named "ALL Missions.bat" or whatever, would merely reverse the process, either moving the files back, or renaming them to *.mis files.
I'd write the files for you, but my command line/DOS skills are rather dull these days.

I recall there is a file that is on the server that can be edited to create a map rotation list, although I don't recall the name of the file. I think JP from 7S does know.
Anyway, either by creating two copies of the file I just mentioned, one for TCZ and one for fun play, you could use remotely exchange the files on your server as needed, and restart the application. Shouldn't take more than a minute or two to do it manually.
Alternately, you could write two batch files that move the server sided map mods out of the GR directory and return them afterwards. A little more work, but once set up, it would be a matter of running "tczmatch.bat" to remove the files (through your remote desktop to the server) and restart GR.. after the match, "fungames.bat" would move the files back.
Heck, just drag all the map mods into a single subfolder in the /Origmiss/Map folder and just move the subfolder in/out of the GR directory as required.
Not as pretty as a nice GUI application, but it'll work.

Can I ask where you got that?
Nicely enough, their licence agreement reads:
License agreementBy purchasing a model, a "one-year membership", a CD or downloading a free model from gunpoint-3d.com, you accept the following conditions:
1. You may make unlimited use of the model(s) obtained from gunpoint-3d.com in the form of flat (static or moving) images only, which excludes any redistribution of the model's 3D geometry.
2. The model's 3D geometry could be contained in a software application like an electronic game, so long as the model data resides in a way that excludes the ability to extract or recompile the model.
Hmm....

You can grab content from them for a fee or free, depending on what it is, and as long as it's compiled and thus the 3dsm file isn't accessible to the general public, use it as you see fit ingame. Niceness.

Considering that Roger Wilco is the only proper voice comm application that even has any sort of Mac support with regards to the client side, that may be your only choice.
The other big players like Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, BattleCom & GameVoice (and more, I'm sure I missed a few) do not have Mac clients. Servers, sure, but that won't help you.
Perhaps, if it will be just the two of you in comms, something like MSN Messenger, ICQ or Yahoo's voice support may be good enough.. assuming the Mac clients support voice. I don't have a Mac handy to give better advice, unfortunately.

This is not part of the msblast virus, for the record.
the LSA shell (or lsass.exe) is a legitimate Windows 2000/XP tool foir managing access permissions, and is associated with several Microsoft web services, such as MSN Explorer, Frontpage 2002, and a slew of .NET based services.
It's reasonably harmless a process, as Windows 2000 SP3 and above (including XP) error checks the file as part of it's regular maintenance, to ensure that the file lsass.exe is the proper legitimate version.
Although you certainly could deny lsass.exe from connecting/being connected to via your firewall, you may notice some applications "breaking", but odds are slim that you would see that, and if you did, simply re-enable the service's access.

Sorry to bump an old subject, but this little emoticon that got posted on my team's site caught my eye...

MSN Messenger 6 is just a newer version of the "regular" MSN Messenger (or Windows Messenger for XP) app.
It adds new functionality to your existing Passport-enabled email address (such as a Hotmail account).
Thus, if you have a Hotmail account, you already have an MSN chat account. You just need to plug in your vitals and go.

If you want to use AIM/ICQ as well as MSN, you'll either need to run clients for all three separately, or use a meta-messenger like Trillian or Jabber.

And in my excitement i can't find that patch. Can someone post a link please , much appreciated.

Just to clarify something...
The EAX issue listed has nothing to do with Creative's 3d sound technology, but instead is... well, let me just paste the quote.
EAX -- the first 32-bit register on IA-32 (Intel Arechitecture, 32-bit). The 16 bit registers on Intel CPUs tend to be called like AX, BX, CX, etc. Their 8-bits parts tends to be called AL and AH, for AX, for BX we have BL and BH and so on for other 16-bit registers. When the cpu runs in extended mode it uses 32 bit registers, their names are created by prepending prefix "E" ( as in *E*xtended mode) to register name. Thus we have there EAX, EBX, ECX, and so on...Again, not audio related, but an internal X86 32 bit architecture call.

If there is a reason why I can't continue I have to shut down GR and retunr to my desktop.
The reason you have to quit Ghost Recon when changing lobbies is that the game browser that is bundled with GR (Ubi.com) is not a part of Ghost Recon. It does allow you to find games, but since it is a completely independant application, GR does not interact with it beyond the basic entry into servers.
There is no actual game browser in the classic CS/Quake style. It's unfortunate, but that's the way the game was made.

TCZ's three member rule does not apply to the 2 vs. 2 ladder.
You can safely ignore it, and if you have any difficulty, let an administrator there know

My Fender Stratocaster, which I purchased (unbeknownst to me at the time) on August 26, 1990. It just so happens to be the day Stevie Ray Vaughn died. I was convinced the guitar sales guy was just joking with me, until I got my new baby home, and heard the news.

Of course, that gives my Strat even more significance to me, as time goes by.
I don't play out much these days, but I keep in close contact with a few minor notables, musically. In fact, Pat Rush is a good friend of mine. If you don't know who Pat Rush is, give his name a Google.

I have had the chance in the past to play with a few interesting folks, like Jeff Healey, Marie Lynn Hammond, Mark Haines & Tom Leighton, and an assortment of flotsam and jetsam from across Canada.
Word of warning: Get a good reel going, and I'm a dangerous man armed with a set of wooden spoons.

It's broken because the link is incorrect.
It should be http://exonet.dnsalias.com/index/directory.html, not /directories.html.

If you are looking specifically for Mac servers, as I understand it, GameRanger's server browser is the way to go.
Also, as long as you have the same mods and version number, Macs and PC's are Ghost Recon friendly with each other.

VDL Camouflage plugin, along with a few other free/cheapware plugins can be nabbed at the link.

I'm reasonably sure that you end up with drives AA, AB, AC, etc. Reasonably.
Mind you, I'm not the most reasonable person out there.

SB, fair enough, but IRC has it's own special "needs" that cause some concern. It's not the most secure environment, and usually requires an IRC client or the use of Javascript, another less-than-secure means.
@Rocky: Yes, if you are interested.

...although it is dead easy to add a proper free php based chat "room" to the forum.

...don't lick it.
Seriously, it's pretty much as straight forwards as it seems. Press the retaining clips at both ends of the slot back, make sure the "key" is lined up on the chip, and with firm, even pressure, press the chip into the slot, keeping it nice and perpendicular to the board. Once it's in, the clips should pop up and latch the chip in. You may need to help them snap into place gently.
As always, make sure you are either wearing an anti-static strap, or at least ground yourself to your case before handing working in the case.
XIII Demo
in PC Games

When I first installed the demo, any mouse movement made my mouselook go raving mad. A quick reboot later, and it ran rather nicely.
The demo certainly was fun. Simple (although I don't mean easy) but fun.
