Still to get: Assassin Tengu Gargoyle Ill Persephone Merovingian in Black Veil Oracle Apothecary Trainman For some reason the email system seems to have eaten my Assassin and Tengu masks I have multiples of all the others, so if you need o...

eep that laptop is sharing system memory with video memory... and as such doesn't meet Vista's minimum requirements, let alone those for MxO. We can try but don't expect anything beyond terrible. turn off any aero related thems in Vista. R...

Chances were that the Auth server really was offline (Servers were being updated and restarted)

Well looks like I'll be working on my 360 gamer score tonight

Nevermind

Still here. Still up in ur 'pooter, fixin' ur codez. Still showing up to every SOE event Still with a global member-base You know you want in. http://www.thekingsofnever.com (if you sign up to the forums, shoot an email to phi@aliciaandnic...

What information should I include when posting my problem? Just a hunch but are you using an older laptop? When you video card doesn't quite meet the game's requirements then this happens. You will need to run the game in windowed mode. As...

Norton 360 has a firewall in it. Have you uninstalled it?

My new dual screen setup on my laptop: The second screen usually has my remote desktop sessions or Outlook. (or whatever doc I'm referencing)

Have you rebooted your router/modem? I notice there's a few times where it hasn't given you a network address.

Still looking though and cross checking stuff, but I will say this: GET RID OF SPYWARE DOCTOR! Most of what it reports is stuff that isn't there to make you think you need it. They are currently in court with Microsoft and others for false...

These were taken by a mate in Sydney ages ago... He edited in the screenshots from the movies and posted them on flickr I think. They give you an idea of how much stuff was digitally edited. Anyway, enjoy... Metacortex: Adam Street Bridge:...

*retrieves his Halloween outfits from email storage and dusts them off* *cocks shotgun* BRING IT ON!

W00t'n t00t'n! It's about time Congrats man, and an interesting read.

So no DST then?

my $0.02 I don't tend to play Vector as I have about 3 hours a week max... I'd rather not spend it running from lowbie hunters (unless that gave me the XP that missions do) It might be more Matrixy... but you can rest assured I'd unsub if...

NIce. I especially like Odj's piece "No rest for the wicked"

Have you tried doing a Full System Check from the Launcher? (I noticed you're using the launchpad). That will scan all files and replace or repair any that don't pass a checksum test. A Checksum is used in many places (even barcodes and IS...

Not unbreakable... It's simply uses auto intrusion detection shut-down and re-route. But just like every system ever invented, if it has to be decoded on the receiver's end as human-readable information, all you have to do is tap the recei...

Bappy Hirthday!

Grats! A nice read. I really should play on Vector more.

Yeah... there's a bug with the DirectX resource restore routine that re-loads the resources after an Alt-Tab. It causes obscured objects to be drawn after the item that obscured them (z-buffering is reversed). The translucency effect is du...

What is the User32.dll file? Windows stores instructions for graphical elements such as dialog boxes and windows in the User32.dll file. The User32.dll file is necessary to the operation of Windows. If this file is damaged, deleted, or rem...

UniToxic is right. That video card doesn't meet the minimum requirements by a long way. You'll also be wanting around another 256 to 512MB RAM. You can run MxO on a Mac... but the only way to successfully support directX fully is to use Bo...

I LOLed at the boy band "The Magic Markers"

We may well be seeing a night race in Melbourne next season... if the racing comission has their way. Stupid timezones. Albert Park Lake at night would be very dark.

Very nice work!

How much taco love do you really need? There's fricken billboards around MegaCity that say "Eat a Taco!" Also Taco restraunts dont exist in australia really (thre may be one or two) so no Taco Del for me... I'll have my home made ones with...

'Grats Roukie! It's about time Battletoads FTMFW! I'll never forget the day I got past the first bike run only to find out that the surfboard and jet bike in the fire levels were just as hard. I screamed bloody murder. I only ever got as f...

Given that you can get to the loading area but not the actual game world it sounds like a corrupt map, sound or texture file. Run a full system check (instrustions on how to run it properly are in the solutions FAQ).

Awesome work from teh Phluffinator!

What's your hardware? Slowwer hardware is auto detected and the game will set itself up to run on low settings (hence no traffic/peds). The installer actually has to download a few gigs of data, so leave it for at least 30 minutes and if i...

I have a G11 (I figured that there's nothing in any game that I need to see on the Keyboard display) and it has 18 "G" buttons. the g-buttons have 3 memory modes (that's 54 programmable functions). Of course you can give each game it's own...

How much in in the "waiting for approval" queue? Anyone other than me?

Phoenix... That's a good read.

Normally the bouncers would stop a fight but with one guy on fire this one is beyond their pay-scale. (woot 1st!)

Yiff in hell?

Well given the number of Marvel Heroes getting their own movie lately and the post credits scene in Iron Man, I smell a bigger project on the horizon.

Ceiling cat gets watched back...
