Vista
nah no idea man. yep you should run windows update regularly (like once a week at least) but its weird that AVG is causing problems. that being said I'm running 8.5 , just find a 8.5 setup, with the latest definitions there's likely no difference.
Yeah, I'm gonna see if I can get back to 8.5.
And I wasn't updating Vista because I found before that it was causing me problems, like the internet to stop working, ODDs disappear, etc.

Ha, depends on where I connect. NY and LA gave me A every time, Norway and South Africa give me a B or a C.

Yeah, so lately after getting pissed off that my PC would BSOD every night, I just now actually was awake while I did a virus scan and uncovered the fact that my newly updated AVG 9 is causing me to get Blue-Screens every time I scan my PC.
BSOD Info: BSOD Info.txt
The Video: AVG causes the BSODs!.txt Since I couldn't upload MP4s/ 3GPs you need to save the video to your desktop and change the extension to 3GP or MP4.
Any ideas on how to fix this? First I'm going to update Vista for the first time in a month....

Vote above, and post your reasoning if you're really crazy about the app you use.

God damn, why the F do you need all those icons in the tray lol, hide them.Plus the classic theme, sucks.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the Aero Taskbar but keep the rest of the Classic theme.

Alright, so here are the clocks I'll stay with: 702 Core, 1584 Shader, and 1269 Memory. Even better than EVGA's FTW addition which sees 712 Core, 1512 Shader and 1260 Memory.
That posted 11286 in FurMark over the original 10400.

I don't feel like OC'ing my rig, although it seems to be worth a try.
I'd try it. 6% doesn't seem huge, but I really can see a small difference in FSX. By small I mean like an improvement from 8-13 FPS to 9-15 FPS, which clearly is more than 6%.

Well here's the data I took: GPU Overclocking Experiment.txt
As you can see, I got pretty good results. That's probably as far as I'm going to go though. After 700, I began increasing the Core in intervals of 5 while running FurMark to see how high I could go before it crashed. (My temps were always fine) I got to 720. When I clicked apply with 725, the app froze and Vista told me it had to reset the Display Driver. Luckily I didn't have to reboot.
As for the memory, I haven't tried maxing it out yet, but I may amp it up to around 1280, since it seems to have a large affect on the overall performance.
What do you guys think?
As for me, I'm gonna go enjoy FSX overclocked!

OS9 FTW.
Tupac or 50 Cent?
50 cent!
Core i7 that dies after 1 year or Q9550 that lasts forever?

Took me a while to realize that SparkIV can also import/export textures.....
Oh and to make it fun, let's see if somebody can correctly list the names to all the programs you see in the quick launch and the system tray.

The game really isn't quite as resource intensive as some made it out to be. By bypassing the memory restrictions, I can put every Graphics option to the Max/on whatever it is and get 35-50 FPS with my SINGLE GTX 275 that isn't OC'd.
A single GTX275 (and a i7) is a LONG way ahead of a 3.2GHz Pentium4 and a 7300.
I realize this, but a few people on this site made it sound like you needed like quad-sli GTX 295s to get 20FPS on high..... A specific quote that sticks in my head was when somebody big here (Chris?) said that High Graphics in the game was reserved for future technology. That makes it sound a bit more than a GTX 275.
And the game only uses like 20-50% of my i7.....

There's a tool by someone at GTAForums that convets dff to the IV model files but only works with weapons and buildings.
Aren't they like... they same files?

Tequila. Slammers ftw.
Tea or Coffee?

Turbo 4cyl or V8 ?
V8.
Ford or Chevy?

OK, so I have this car I want to transfer to IV from VC. Trouble is, I have no clue how to take the .col, .dff, and .txds and convert them to IV format of .wft and .wtd.
Can someone explain to me how to do this?
Thanks.
P.S., if it's really hard to do can I upload the files and somebody convert them for me, by any chance?

I'm working with:
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.2 (2 CPUs)
Memory: 1022 MB Ram
Nvidia GeForce 7300 LE, 512 MB memory
One word: upgrade. I've seen cases of people running IV on a Pentium IV, but it isn't optimal enough for everyday use. The same goes for the video card; I had one and it does suck big time. Upgrading to at least Core 2 Duo and a 9500GT may help, but most of us here strongly recommend a quad-core, lots of RAM and an 8800GT.

Awesome or woot?

AVG or Kaspersky?

What are you currently doing?
Stealing from a woman!
Lolzies. Obviously had too much time to spare on his hands.
This post is a complete win.
You'd have to have something pretty wrong with you to create a fail post in a topic like this!

GTA IV can run my pc?
ADM Athlon™ 64 Processor 3200+
2.01 GHz, 1 GB of RAM
Physical Address Extension
Display: Plug and Play Monitor on ATI Radeon X300/X550/X1050 Series
I know, I know.. Old comp...
No, IV doesn't run your PC, your PC runs IV. Well, actually not your PC. You need better hardware!

I wanna see easier modding for the PC like it was in Vice City and San Andreas.....
Plus every patch seems like it intentionally sabotages modding ability.

yessssssssssss
ahahahhahhaha
suck shit apple. iPod touch is cool, but its f**kin overpriced as hell man. 32GB is like $600 here. orr get a 120GB regular iPod for $300 ? Hmmm i dunno tough decision right
I bought my 120GB Classic 9 months ago for $240. Apparently there's a new one out that holds 160GB and costs $240.
how the hell can that happen
The iPod uses a Lithium-ion battery. Lithium, obviously, will catch fire and explode when it comes into contact with water vapor. (Obviously there's lots of this in the air)
Unfortunately for the iPod, it relies solely on the external structure to protect the battery. So whenever there's even a small imperfection in the outside of the iPod, the water vapor (air) can get in and react with the battery, causing it to explode.

Lol, mine is 1792MB total but GTAIV and Windows only recognize 512MB.
So whats the point of 1792MB if windows only finds 512 ?
lol.
Anyway, I'd probably say 8500GT. NVIDIA never did a whole lot to distinguish the 9*** and 8*** series. The 9800 is pretty much the same as the 8800.

Oh they are? just that i've seen many many bluray rips around.
So you just copy it as uncompressed MPEG2 ? hmm
Just .MPG files with the MPEG2 codec yeah.
Just so I can be notified, is it illegal to copy movies you own? I'm not selling them or anything.
What email application do you use?

Yeah, it wasn't amazing.
