    Are you running the computer in win 95 compatibility mode? If you right-click on the execute file (.exe file) and set the XP system to run it in compatibility mode for windows then it may solve that problem.

    Star Trek/Star Wars/Space Movies and their futures?

    I havent been following the BSG anymore. I kind of prefer the original and that flavor of show. Does anyone have any comments about Star Trek or what has been happening with the cancellation and all?

    SW Battlefront 2 --> WC Total war game? Just a brainstorm no announcement

    Actually the in-flight for UT04 is a bit tricky because it is very heavy upon the mouse for flight control. BF was too if i remember right however they may up the flight engine for BFII plus it felt odd in UT04. I have both by the way.

    Tropical Storm/Hurricane Rita

    No. However the world HAS turned upside down when and if the Day after Tomorrow occurs. Both literaly and politically. Hurricane Katrina was very bad. This storm could just make that situation worse. The big question though is WHY DO WE AS THE HUMAN RACE LIVE WHEREVER AND PREFERABLY WHERE...

    Which Video Card is better?

    The 6000 Nvidia series is Nvidia's EQUAL to x000 series AtI cards. Ati's 9000 series cards are equal more or less to the Nvidia FX cards. So YEAH OF COURSE A 6600gt card would whoop mine. Its newer and faster. I got the 9600XT for price and future usability. IF you want to compare cards then...

    Which Video Card is better?

    About Nvidia cards and ATI compare cards that come out together 9600pro and XT processor are NOT the exact same. Xt card is the newer of the two cards. But comparing my 9600 hundred to the latest GeForces is just a crime. Compare x000 series cards to the new GeForces. ATI cards do have driver...

    Which Video Card is better?

    Actually Radeon and Nvidia are about equal HOWEVER Radeon cards i believe have BETTER GRAPHICS where as Nvidia's runs better and is more compatible with games. Radeon has their own shading technology which is similar to Nvidia's i am sure. Ultimately it comes down to Ram, speed, and price. I...
