    Permission/ownership file issues; cannot delete files

    It's been a while, but the problems are still occurring. I'm getting random access is denied errors in programs and the same delete errors.

    Max Payne 3 -- When Rockstar 'pushes the envelope'

    Got this for the PS3. Almost done with it. It's really mediocre at best. Bullet time/shootdodge feels like a gimmick at best, gunfights are unsatisfying (really, no matter how much kevlar a guy is wearing he should be dying after getting shot by 30 bullets), graphics are showing the age of the...

    Permission/ownership file issues; cannot delete files

    Thanks for the suggestions. Ran chkdsk /f a while back; didn't solve the issue. Disabling indexing right now. When you say swap, you do mean pagefile, right? Does it matter that my pagefile isn't stored on my system disk?

    Permission/ownership file issues; cannot delete files

    Thanks for the input, but... I'm looking for a solution to the issue of files not being deleted properly, rather than how to delete any one file. Is this something that's probably only solvable with a fresh install? sfc /scannow did not alleviate the issue.

    Permission/ownership file issues; cannot delete files

    Often, I will get an error like this when trying to uninstall a program: http://puu.sh/uaCQ When I attempt to manually delete such a file, Windows will tell me I "need permission from an administrator," even though I'm logged in as the administrator (net user administrator). The only way...

    Best Headphones for 200$

    Problem with Grados is that they're not comfortable, from what I hear. Please note I've never owned a pair. Right now I'm using AKG Q701 refurbished, got for $249 shipped. They're pretty much awesome: very neutral response, bass quantity is just right for me. If you're looking for a heavier...

    Are discrete sound cards still worth buying?

    A sound card is also a DAC. I'd recommend a USB one as they are less vulnerable to electrical interference from other components in your motherboard. Nwavguy's ODAC is out now on JDS labs and is probably the best you can get for under like DAC1 pre levels. The only advantage of an onboard is...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 Dual GPU Video Card Review @ [H]

    Speaking of framerates, why exactly does software like FRAPS not pick up microstutter? Exactly how does FRAPS measure the framerate of a game? That might have been slightly off-topic. On to the issue of prices... launch for GTX580, IIRC, was around $500 as well. This makes the pricing scheme...

    2600k high vCore needed to OC

    Try disabling HT. On my 2600K I can only get to 4.4 with reasonable Vcore (1.38 + load line level four) that hits 1.4 maximum on load.

    Mozilla Slams CISPA

    Move? To where? No European country worth moving to isn't affected by ACTA and stringent antipiracy laws. Maybe Switzerland.

    Skyrim Modding Megathread

    /vg/ has a nice and easy master list here: http://vgtes.wikia.com/wiki/Skyrim:Modding/Master_List Which lists only a few "key" mods, all of which are compatible with each other. I think it's a pretty nice place to start out.

    Does Valve's leaked Employee Handbook accidently confirm Half Life 3?

    I doubt Valve would be content with not making a third Half Life. Whenever it happens, it happens. I'm not going to complain about long release cycles, but this handbook, while really cool to read, doesn't really change the state of affairs.

    do you use bit-perfect audio?

    The problem with this argument is that you don't listen to music in a double-blind situation. If the OP believes that WASAPI/ASIO makes his music sound better, and he is psychologically fooled into hearing so, let him do it. It's free, anyway.

    do you use bit-perfect audio?

    dioxholster - Your argument is valid. I would agree with you that a lot of audio wizardry you hear about is all related to a subconscious/placebo effect. Also, if a placebo does make you enjoy the audio more, why not, right? In which case, using WASAPI or ASIO should make your output...

    do you use bit-perfect audio?

    The resampler in Windows 7 is apparently of high enough quality to merit setting your sound card to the highest bit depth/sample rate upon playback. WASAPI exclusive mode, but only in the pull configuration (used in WMP iirc) is confirmed to be bit perfect, but this is useless because you won't...
