starhawk, this is a complete shot in the dark: go onto youtube start a vid up , right click on it and select settings, then untick the "enable hardware acceleration" box, and see if this remedies the BSOD issues. If this works remember to untick this box everytime you upgrade flash (or if you...

Just remembered there's an old piece of equipment in work still running Win 95. It's an FTÅ200 Contact angle/surface tension analyser, I think it's running a Pentium Pro, not sure about other specs, I'll check it out tomorrow. I've never saw it crash, boots quicker than many modern systems...

Now hold on a second, I'm not infiltrating anyone's neighbourhood and I resent the accusation!

Wow, that's low. I've never saw this type of sca...ermm promotion before. I just thought it was the usual company blurb follow us on yaddyadda, not "Rules of the game". Like the man with orthopaedic shoes, I stand corrected. FWIW I'm not on facebook or twitter, and never will be. As, much...

That is a true statement. This competition doesn't require joining twitter, and I am thankful for that.

I need a Corsair SSD to cheer me up. I just walked into our lounge and my missus was watching a cookery program, I asked her why she was watching it as she can't cook, she said "So? You watch porn". :(

Done. Vote early, vote often people!

Thought they'd already fixed this? :confused: *dusts down pic shamelessly stolen from b3ta*

My apologies they reference Half-life but the image is 2? (I think I'm reading this correct, hey its nearly half one in the morning UK time and I have been drinking beer most of the day :D )

What a load of old toot. Half-life>Half-life 2, and even then it is still the game (to this day) that Halo aspires to be.

I agree that this wasn't a satisfactory solution, so I've been doing a bit of troubleshooting... I completely nuked all traces of Adobe Flash Player from my OS install and Active X plug-ins on my browsers (IE8 and Firefox), I then downloaded the zipped file of all version 10 Flash players (the...

Ah yes, another airing for this image methinks. (Originally shamelessly stolen from b3ta)

I think the bad caps' was a big contributing factor, they also had financial irregularities, now I don't know 100% which came first but IIRC after the capacitor mess they got discovered to be creatively accounting and there was some possible embezzlement (which I don't think as been resolved...

Was it not this issue that pretty much killed ABIT in its original form? Like you I remember they were one of the few companies to look after their customers over this, and also to admit the problem. Now look at them. :( It's a fucking shame that the bigger bastard you are in life (in both a...

First off I'm not entirely sure of the right forum/subforum, so apologies to the Mods if they need to move this. Update 10th July '10: Flash version 10,0,42,34 does not cause any crashes however any version 10.1xxx at this moment is causing the "nv4_disp.dll" crash. I'll cut right to the...

Just to close this thread out. Rolled back a few weeks to an earlier image of my drive (made sure Marvell LAN was disabled in BIOS :D ) and installed the Belkin LAN card no problems, so at least my PCI lanes are OK. I have no idea what happened but I have no desire to repeat it. I found on my...

OK an update. I went out and grabbed a Belkin PCI LAN card (I know, I know Belkin). I slotted this in and booted up and this won't install either! However, I'm getting the same message when trying to install its drivers namely "data is invalid". Now either somehow my Windows install has...

No worries, I actually kinda hoped you were right and it was something as stupid as that, yet straightforward to remedy :)

Hi, the sound chip is Realtek but the splash screen on the driver CD that came with the mobo definitely says Marvell LAN driver. (I'm looking at it right now) Edit: Ahh makes sense now. I see a IP35 Pro XE in your sig which :) does have Realtek LAN, looks like I got the shitty and cheap end...

I'm at my wits end with this p.o.s on-board controller. It was working fine until I added a new USB soundcard/midi controller, after a reboot I got the "added new hardware" wizard and it tried to auto re-install the drivers for this onboard LAN, which failed. I had a copy of the most recent...

They are horns called vuvezelas :mad: and don't worry they are not the norm at football matches and are almost universally detested. They may yet be banned such is the loathing that the majority of the audience for this event has for that goddamn noise, I've actually adjusted the EQ on my TV to...

It always amuses me to see some Americans ragging on football (ahem "soccer"), I guess if you don't get it then you don't get it, fair enough. I am extremely fond of both baseball and ice-hockey and I can tolerate American Football but I just don't get basketball, sure I can appreciate great...

mmmm takeaway then ebay :D

As above, an audio splitter cable or this: http://www.numark.com/djio

It never was cool, it was bought by those wanting/trying to be cool, and that is why they fail.

I don't like the direction Google is heading. The biggest pain in the arse is auto suggestion of search results, sure you can turn it off but I clear cookies etc regularly, so that "feature" is useless.

I Posted this elsewhere a few weeks back, it was in relation to this same article and one of jobs disciple's was bragging on the forum about OS X never having had a virus, seems relevant here too.

It's fairly obvious why many people, myself included, still use XP; program compatability. I have a significant amount of music creation related programs (DAW & VSTi's) which have been collected over the years at considerable expense and they all work fine on XP. Some of the companies are no...

Chief Talent Officer should be the guy who makes sure that the women hired are very good looking and single.

Yeah, I've got a broom a bit like that. Had it for 20 years, sure I've had a few new handles and about half a dozen new heads, but it's still going strong after all this time.

My first thought when I heard this news was; where are the components for the Nexus One and the phones themselves assembled? I don't have the answer, however, if it is China these words are hollow at best and ultimately hypocritical.

Yeah, like we need a sarcasm punctuation mark.

Phew! For a second I thought you were onto me... :D

Oh dry your eyes, here's a list of what the US gets before Europe: most movies, most dvds, most games, almost always gaming consoles and you get more features e.g. backwards compatibility of the PS3 is hardware based - in Europe this is a highly limited software emulation, most hardware -...
