Just got finished configuring the only two true gaming laptops out there: Dell XPS Gen2: $3602 discounting tax/shipping Alienware 7700: $4265 without office software/tax/shipping (both have 256MB graphics, and 7700 has Dual-Core 3.6 Ghz, and Dell has 2 Ghz Pentium M) So yeah, while a gaming laptop IS possible, most of us just don't have the budget for it (heck my XPS Gen4 desktop was only $3100 without the monitor ($4200

Could it be a rar problem? As soon as I got OD I uninstalled WinZip and replaced it with ObjectZip, no problems there. I haven't used WinRAR in awhile, so I'm not sure if I can directly help you. My guess would be that there's one main exe file in the list that installs it, and just displays every other file for the heck of it.

Well I'm glad to help, haha, I try when I can, best of luck tonight! Also following Bichur's advice for IP, if you ever have a problem that'll fix it 99.999% of the time. Haha, and I take it you're from Texas eh? I'm an Austinite myself, though I'll admit I don't do my part to "keep Austin weird" sadly...

Well as far as gaming goes...that won't get you much (if you're hard-core). Now, if you want to play some Age of Empires, Doom II, or Simcity 3000 (games like that), then you could give it a go. However, games like Empire Earth II, Half-Life 2, etc, no, only laptops I know of that could play those are a Dell XPS Gen2 or an Alienware 7700 (which both cost around 3-$4,000 with good upgrades). But my advice, to keep it in good shape, is to have no games o

Me being as young as I am, I missed out in the 70's for collectiong things. But I love to collect retro video-games, heck they're good! Right now my favriote collection pieces are: 1. Final Fantasy IV (I have 1-10, and this has to be the best by FAR, well...5 and 6 come close) 2. Megaman X 1-4 (meh, they wern't so good after 4) 3. Demon's Crest 4. Super Mario RPG (now THAT was a mario-game!) 5. Chrono Trigger (I had to bu

Also if I may say from my own observation, would an IT pro/beta tester of Vista say "I don't know why I waited so long!) Come on, it's beta 1, s/he should know it's not a full-fledged OS, and really as of now isn't good for much more than testing.

Oh ho! Nice article there. Well, the technology is very simple/old, yet clever at the same time, a good use of it I'll say. Though why all the wasted space? They could have reduced its size a bit in some areas to make some functions (like the side buttons) easier to use. Also a speaker 0_o??? What's with that? Is there going to be some voice function in the future so that you can move your cursor? "Cursor! Move 304 pixels to the left at a 30 deg

AGAIN with "The Invisible Heart" references!? Amazing, there wouldn't be anyone with the name Gordon by any chance would there? Also, if I may say, MS doesen't need an artistic GUI for another reason: What they do just works. There's color, functionality, and it runs smoother than some of the more complicated skins made here. Think about it, how many people in the PC community use a different XP skin than Luna (and the defaults for ME, 2000, etc),

Also because of its programmable buttons/cordless I use mine as a remote-control for my sound system/presentations and even as a TV remote sometimes(when I watch TV on my PC...which really isn't all too often sadly), haha, it really was a godsend for me, end of story. And Horizon? Yeah it's a friggin' laser! Hook it up an amplifier/uber-battery and you've got yourself a full-blown deathray! And a mouse with a built-in deathray...well that's limitl

Oh, I had the honor of seeing a little preview today . My girlfriend bought one for her iMac today, and while her old/reliable mouse for it was fine, the "new" "Mighy Mouse" proved to be VERY unresponsive, she had to literally smash the pad with her hand to get to move as she wanted, and clicking? Oh no, today she believes she has been introduced to HAL's reincarnatio

Ha, I have one of those Mx1000 mouses Horizon...and while it did cost $80, it's pretty cool. It's really more of a gaming mouse though (that laser is UBER-responsive, like you said) but the 3 side buttons are very handy for web-browsing, faster than the keyboard shortcuts anyway, but it doesen't do it ALL (however, it comes pretty close ). Lastly I like the fact that

Erm....and that's some big deal? Come on! I've had XP since 2002, with a simple AV (and wise internet-surfing), you're more then well-off enough. So really I don't see what the big deal was. Now please, someone correct me if I'm wrong (as I often seem to be, haha). Also Kona, I second that!

I second that! RightClick was a bit glitchy for me at first, but a simple reboot made it work perfectly. I love the DesktopX integration, this is everything I needed and more! Here's my round of applause for all the hard work you've done (hah, close enough right?).

Sorry, I should have been a it more clear. To answer your questions: 1. I got past the BIOS screen, then the boot-screen would load, and soon afterwards I would get a bluescreen saying, "A fatal error occcured while attempting to initialize windows" The backup was a standard full-image made with the backup function in the system toold folder. It simply failed to load, even though I had used that same backup a few months earlier. <br/

Hello, well I'm back after a LONG week of comp recovery. *ahem* And now I shall sacrifice spelling/proper grammer to cut to the chase... Two weeks ago I was just running Lotus on my laptop (for some quick digitizing), everything was normal. Being the stat-freak I am I take a quick break and check the taskmanager about every 10 mins to check on memory/handle use. Memory was fine, about 34% used (of my 1GB), and the handle count was at arou

Yep, from what I've seen/heard the integration of Media Center and the 360 is really supposed to be something! It almost makes me want to buy one. I mean, I like the XBox and everything, but give me a Revolution and I'll be a happy camper
