Just one other issue and that is that I downloaded the Nvidia SSAA tool and I get a weird error that says ERROR : NVAPI INVALID ARGUMENT It also shows up as disabled in the Tool after the error message and wont let me enable it, so I just enable it in Inspector at 4x SGSSAA. Is this actually...

Thanks guys-- I tried and found out RT doesn't seem to apply any AA with the latest driver version. I downloaded Inspector and it seems to work well (I also have MSI Afterburner's onscreen display installed and can see the VRAM usage go up with higher antialiasing.) 8xS + 4x SGSS seems to be...

Hey All, I was wondering if these combined modes, which I have in Rivatuner, are doable options in old Open GL games like Prey and Doom. I have the 8800GTS SSC. The resolution I would be running these at would be 1280 x 1024 or 1600 x 1200 Currently I have forced settings on the latest Nvidia...

I havent seen it come back yet-- will wait to make sure. Thanks for the help, guys! :) BTW I was using an older version of Office-- Office XP. I installed Open Office 3.3, do you guys think I should reinstall Office XP again or is Open Office 3.3 better than an older version of Office...

I selected the option where the icon doesnt load into the task bar on start up, but that didnt help at all, so Im thinking I should uninstall the mouse software and see what that does.

Thanks, Im wondering if I should uninstall the Revoltec drivers and just go back to the generic MS drivers. Maybe it came bundled with the Fightmouse Advanced driver? I looked under the mouse settings in the control panel and all it has in there are options for the wheel, the two buttons and...

Thanks for the help. Does this look like circle dock? I went into Task Manager and couldnt see circle dock in there anywhere and I looked in MSCONFIG also. If you can help me uninstall this thing, I'll be eternally grateful, this thing is driving me crazy with how often its popping up...

No, it just selects whatever program the yellow dot is next to. The funny thing is, that circular toolbar thing popped up right as I saw your post. It's popped up 3-4 times since I started this thread.

Thanks for all your help, Im looking into that right now. The options on the launch pad thing are basically what you see in the image above. It's all the Office programs (including Office Finder and New Appointment) plus the Address Book and the New Task icon. When I went into Add/Remove...

It used to happen only once in a long time, but for some reason it's popping up a lot more now-- so I can't really ignore it anymore.

Well, it started happening a few months ago. And most of my hardware is a year or two old. Im racking my brain trying to think what it might be. I see the A in the middle and keep thinking it belongs to a program that starts with "A" So then I went to ADD/REMOVE and removed a few things, but...

I actually had to uninstall Office because of this, but even after doing that this problem keeps popping up. Can anyone tell me what's going on and how to get rid of it? Basically, at random times when I move my mouse, a little green circle shows up on my computer near the mouse pointer; it...

Stick, do you think my issue is because of an underpowered power supply too? It doesnt happen often, but sometimes, my computer POSTs but right when the OS is supposed to load... it doesnt. Instead, I get a blank black screen after POST and the computer just sits there, and I have to manually...

Hi, I have a dual lcd display, and the right side monitor on it is a 20 inch viewsonic LCD (VP201mb) that's about 6.5 yrs old. Everything was fine with this lcd until about a week ago; now I see a streak of discoloration down the left side (about a third of the way from the edge). It doesnt go...

Stick, should people who dont overclock these boards also mess around with the voltage settings or are they good as is? Ive not had any problems since I got the board, except occasionally Windows doesnt load and I have to turn the computer manually off and back on-- this happens about once a...

This isnt hardware related, but it has to do with my MP3 files that I recorded. Awhile back I accidentally deleted a bunch of recorded MP3 files, and I used a software app (Restore My Files) to recover all my MP3 files. The only problem is when I open them in any audio player (winamp, creative...

Are you talking about human cloning? Now, I doubt that would EVER be legalized (nor should it be.)

Yeah, and we have to guard against it being taken to that extreme. I myself am nervous that it might happen one day, regardless of the safeguards we place. Im moved to consider putting the choice in the parents hands for very severe disabilities, however, because I know firsthand what kind of...

Its not a "super race" when youre just trying to decide whats best for your (potential) children. Im talking about children with severe mental retardation who probably wouldnt ever be able to take care of themselves and might not even live to the age of 20. Im not talking about imperfections...

The Nazi thing is a well-known style of argument used to inflame an emotional response when one has nothing to argue with. Honestly, I can see where youre coming from, but you do have to argue against the extremes... on either side. It seems that others are ignorant of that, or so stubborn...

See, here is another example of where youre discrediting yourself. Who said anything about a super race? I was (as I said) talking about children that might be born with severe handicaps AND also said the choice should be left up to the parents, since they would be the caregivers. Do you...

And I thought I made it my point right from my first post, that both sides (AGW and non AGW) have both valid points and points of contention-- the debate has become so politicized (talking on the national scale), that its hard to separate truth from agenda sometimes. The fact is that its highly...

I dont know about China's one child policy-- but I can see where someone should have a choice about whether they want to have a child born with severe defects. It should be up to the parents, though, since they will be taking care of him/her. I also dont think that women on welfare should be...

I see where youre coming from wrt to children with severe handicaps-- you'd be saving them from a lifetime of hardship as well. China, though, has a draconian policy where they impinge on human rights on a daily basis-- dont know if we want them as our role models. How do you feel about stem...

Ive heard of this before, and the critics of this report say that most of these scientists arent even involved in any climate-related field.

If youll note, that article is very recent (Nov '08).

Did I ever state that you did? I just think youre looking the issue from a slightly skewed angle. BTW, read this scientific article abstract about how water vapor and CO2 work together and enhance the effects of warming in a synergistic way...

The last two links I posted were from a climate scientist working at Harvard and the Harvard review.

I admit Im not a climate scientist, but at least I dont work for a power production company... ulterior motives galore.

Said the pot calling the kettle black.

Here's some other tidbits being developed at Harvard to combat POTENTIAL global warming... http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2007/11/30/midmorning2/ That refers to the original Cambridge study I quoted. Here's an interesting one which would utilize the ocean's ability as a...

I dont think he's actually reading our posts, and btw (to w1retap), that was not an ad hominem attack; I think its quite clear that youre making assumptions about people, without actually reading the content of the posts. A bit narrowminded dont you think? And as someone who works for a power...

Yes it does... let me give you some links to read. The challenges are why this is a few decades away. http://skirsch.com/politics/globalwarming/globalWarmingUrgency.htm http://www.crosswalk.com/news/11572945/...

Obviously the high EM voltage has fried your brain cells. Folks, take everything this man says with a grain of salt-- he has vested interests in maintaining the status quo. Now why does that not surprise me, with his unenlightened views?

Are you a moron, or just functionally illiterate? Go back to my first post where I talk about the Cambridge study involving mirrors placed in geostationary orbit to reflect a percentage of incoming solar radiation. Or are the words too big for your feeble mind to handle? Really, youre...

Well, (and this is a long way off, but something that has and continues to be studied)... if you could lessen the frequency of hurricane strikes by increasing wind shear or affecting the heat content of the ocean, and thereby save thousands of lives a year and billions of dollars to our economy...

Yes, this is why I was advocated idea of controling incoming solar radiation... that is going to make the quickest impact on climate than any other method. Of course H20 is the biggest greenhouse contributor, and every schoolchild knows that. Youd like to argue the point with me that Bush is...

Youre talking about a period of 300 million years... but humanity has only existed for the last million or so... you really think our species would survive the types of ups and downs our climate as suffered? I actually advocate a scientific answer to this. We already have a degree of control...
