    Uninstalling a game.... without uninstalling.

    Is there a way to uninstall a game without using the uninstall exe? I decided to install Command & Conquer Generals. And I boldy tried to install it on a hard drive that I was having issues with in the past. I had run diagnostic software on the drive and reformatted it, so I was hoping it...

    Starcraft II is under secret devolpement by Blizzard?

    It looks like a Command and Conquer: Generals mod. Those beams look all too familiar. :) So do a lot of the textures. I actually haven't played a good game of Generals in a long time. I should re-install...

    GeForce 6800 is flickering and freezing

    Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean. :p Anyway, I did notice a few threads regarding 6600 gt cards and their problems. I didn't think it applied to me since I have a 6800 ultra. What's the real difference between these cards?

    Desperate for help!!!

    I am having similar issues with my 6800 Ultra. Mine likes to freeze a lot during gameplay, but I'm not getting the mosaic that you describe. Instead, I'm seeing a lot of flickering textures... which can give you a headache if you try to play that way. Now, I do recall seeing that mosaic when...

    GeForce 6800 is flickering and freezing

    To those of you having problems, are you using Windows Media Center as I am? I'm wondering if there are compatability issues with that OS. I'm patiently waiting on OldPueblo's test results. ;)

    GeForce 6800 is flickering and freezing

    I am wondering about this myself. I sent emails to BFG, and the guy who replied seemed concerned about the fact that I use Media Center. I went back and forth with BFG, trying every little fix they could think of. They even asked me to try beta drivers for my motherboard. When nothing worked...

    GeForce 6800 is flickering and freezing

    When I installed the 5900, it was a simple matter of using driver cleaner before installing. It tried to do the same procedure here, but no worky. During gameplay. GPU temperature got as high as 77 deg. The ambient temp hit 57 deg. Is this too hot? Driver version is 72.14 for media center...

    GeForce 6800 is flickering and freezing

    Before running anything, the temperature was 63 degrees. After running 3DMark the temp was 73 degress. I tried Asus probe. With that, I wasn't sure what to look for, but the voltages were a little lower than their category (4.99v instead of 5v, for example).

    GeForce 6800 is flickering and freezing

    Hello, I recently purchased a BFG GeForce 6800 Ultra OC, AGP version. I'm now getting some amazing frame rates in my games, but I'm getting a lot of flicker. Random textures will flicker. Sometimes I'll see it flickering way off in the distance, and sometimes it flickers right under my feet. As...

    Partition Size Incorrect

    I wound up starting over and re-installing Windows. When it came time to choose a drive to install XP on, I saw something interesting. The missing storage space was there in the form of raw partitions that never did show up in explorer. *shrug* I deleted the partitions and started over...

    Partition Size Incorrect

    Thanks, Bill. Negative. It's showing me an incorrect size. Just to see, I looked at the hard drive from BIOS, and it does recognize it as a 120 gig drive. In the beginning, so did Windows. Don't know why it's changing its mind now.

    Partition Size Incorrect

    I have a partition that is missing storage space. I got a 120 gig Maxtor hard drive and broke it into 3 partitions. A 12 gig for windows xp, a 12 gig for linux (i'll get to this in a moment), and the remaining 90+ for storage. XP installed just fine, and it could see the partitions...

    FX5900 XT issues

    Well, I haven't been able to fix the problem, so I'll attempt to get an RMA from the vendor and send it back. I just got an email asking me to rate the vendor... I think that'll depend on whether or not there's a hassle in the return process. ;) Now I did notice something. I tried running...

    FX5900 XT issues

    Thanks, Numblock. I'll try that when I get home from work. This is not a new PC, I'm only upgrading the video card. I've had the 4200 since it came out and it has served me well, but I felt it was time to retire the 'ol girl. I contacted BFG and described the problem to them as well. It's...

    FX5900 XT issues

    I recently purchased a BFG GeForce FX5900 XT OC, but it's giving me some trouble. As long as I stay in Windows, it'll run all day and night, but I can't play a game for more than 5 minutes without a crash. When I say crash, I mean I lose video and audio instantly. The computer is still on...
