Have you tried playing other sounds that are longer in length at Windows Startup.
If so, then have you played the file fully - checked it actually runs?

Baine

How long is the original file?

Baine

I've sorted it out now - it was a matter of rolling back the driver, and for some reason reducing the memory speed the graphics card was using

.

Thanks again

Baine

Burke : Cheers, but I've tried that, to no avail.

Randy : I made the mistake of installing service pack 2 before and it really messed something on my system up - still trying to figure out what happened. But I'll try and roll the driver back - stupidly I didn't think of that rather logical ...

Hello,
I installed SoFII Double helix months ago, and since have formatted my HDD, and now on trying to play it again, the following error message comes up:

[indent]" To play Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix, please verify that your card is OpenGL compliant. If it is, please update to the ...

Baine

Thanks guys,
It would appear that the active sync (sorry UOD, I've always thought PDA meant pocket PC) was messing things up.
Take care, and thanks again

Hello,
Whenever I try and copy a file to my PDA from my desktop PC, explorer seems to crash, and the file doesn't get copied - I've done it before, and never had this problem.
The event viewer message I get is:
The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted. :confused:

Any ...

I'd go with what others are saying - leave it for now, wait for microsoft to be overwhelmed with help messages and then in a couple of months do it ("don't fix it if it isn't broken!")
If they're not overwhelmed with help messages - then sure you may have lost a few month's worth of SP2, but better ...

Things went rather wrong, and I've finally ended up having to format my system, but a friend described similar problems, which resolved when removing Win XP Pro SP2 - any clues as to why this could be?

Baine

nope not worth it.... :irate: . Lets just say I had to reinstall windows after I downloaded it. I had no problems with my computer before installing sp2 Same thing!! :irate: I was hoping to find out if there's a way of completely removing it without formatting, but no success yet - man I was irrate ...

Baine

:irate: I tried SP2, and there was no prob with p2p type stuff - but my god it messed my computer up - I suddenly started finding that things were running really slow - just playing Spider Solitaire resulted in the system slowing to a grinding stand still (almost) - I tried working out what was ...

I couldn't give a bat's brain about reputation points personally, I just felt MadDoctor wasn't being granted the justice I thought he/she deserved, I didn't post to get rep points....thanks all the same to those who did

Baine

Thanks a million, will get to work on it asap!
Cheers for answering so soon too

No one has shown me any love. I still have just the one block. :confused: HEHEHEHEE! Well, that seems to have worked well, you have 4 now at my counting :thumb: - were you helping or just pouting at them???? Joke!!

MadDoctor - how on earth did you cultivate that collection of reds - you've only ...

Hello (again to those who know me)
This is the second time a problem has occurred with my CD (and DVD) drives. I have a CD-R/RW, CD-ROM drive and a DVD-R/RW drive, and when I stick a CD/DVD in the drives, they don't respond - ie they don't recognise that there's a disc in them - no matter what I ...

Baine

Cheers, I have loadsa stuff.......but I'm not sure it would be appropriate to post it here :D
Besides, I'm sure you guys have already heard most of them

If you don't already know this one then try searching google for "Ford ka sports, the evil twin" there are two - one about a cat

Not quite your genius, but it makes me laugh

Marie says "Pierre, kiss me!"

Pierre grabs a bottle of Merlot and splashes it on Marie's Lips.
"What are you doing, Pierre?" says the startled Marie.

"I am Pierre, the fighter pilot! When I have red meat, I have red
wine!"

She smiles and ...

I do live right under a huge and ancient dam - but I'm sure that isn't the cause - I'll let you know if the dripping changes to a trickling noise though

Be worried

No, no, I have anti-aircraft nukes positioned all round my property - they'd need to be worried!

Baine

Nice tale MadDoc

Baine

no, no pop-up blocker - nothing different from before this started, as far as I can tell.... that's why I'm so confused

Baine

Hello,
I keep getting a sound like a synth trying to immitate a water drop, but it happens for no reason - even when I'm not touching my computer!
Does anyone know of this, or have any ideas where it could be coming from???
Thanks if anyone can help!

Baine

Even on my TV (not a new plasma one, but a fairly decent one) I can see the difference - but it maybe because I've got caught up in this discussion, and am subsequently nit-picking for any deterioration

Baine

I can vouch for the non-nerd aspect of that!

Baine

Another alternative is, if you're not too hot for Spysweep, Lavasoft Adaware software - has a couple of nice add-ons, one of which is to stop Messenger?

Baine

Is there any way to change the "local folders" in outlook express to accept an IMAP account instead of a POP account, which is its default? - I've tried googling this, but couldn't seem to find anything relevant!

Any help would be really appreciated

Thanks in advance

Baine

Recently got hold of pestpatrol - unsing it in combination with NAV - hope that's enough really - if not then why not?

Baine

Cheers - will try that, but can't shutdown for a while - realtime seems to be working, so hopefully I'm protected - realtime does mean that it'll be stopping me getting infected won't it?

make single disc xvcd's out of them. almost no loss of quality and they'll fit on a single cdr.
When I tried that there was a fairly significant loss of quality :confused: - how'd you do it - was it a compressed file already when you put on xvcd, or was it a downloaded movie ...

Hey what's wrong with my gal - why not use her cleavage instead - if you can get past her attitude that is hehehehehe,
I think it's cool, nice body - shame I can't see the face!

Baine

Thanks a million,
I've been wondering what's been going on with that - thought I wasn't configuring things properly!!!

Baine

Thanks guys,
I've been wondering if zonealarm had anything to do with it - after reading some other threads on SG, but maybe not?

I get millions of error messages when I run a norton AV scan on any disk - saying that it couldn't access the file - is that a similar issue - I don't think I have ...

Baine

The internet connection icon in the notification area occassionally jumps from very good connection status to unavailable for no reason - dunno if this is related?

Baine

I'm the only one wireless - and the network's secure - she's made sure of it.
Can i relocate the thread to the network forum?
Problem's been there from the beginning, since mid-june
What d'you mean by a "Wireless access connection"?
WEP is setup

Baine

J-high, how d'you find out this stuff - I was having similar problems a while ago!
The only way I've managed in the past - before finding this place, was trial and error - and thank god I managed the trial more than the error.

Baine

Hey, no worries, cheers for attempting it

Baine

Sorry, I got the wrong end of that stick, guys......

Baine

Yes, I'm running a wireless connection with a friend living above me. It's a sorgio router - don't know if that's any help?

PS Thanks for responding
