You don't usually have to re-enter the CD key, even after you uninstall it and re-install. It stays stored in the registry. Unless it's telling you it requires a CD key, I don't think that's your problem. EXACTLY what is it doing? If you have a Radeon you need to download a seperate patch or you'll ...

Nope, not me - I only got as far as the 5th level and I'm sure my score wasn't all that high.

My observations: - Scott Bakula was a HELL of a lot better in the role than I thought he'd be to give him due credit. I can ALMOST forgive him for Quantum Leap now :) - The obvious parallel to submarine warfare are a bit silly, but I have to grudgingly admit that it actually works. - I like the char...

I just wish they'd bring back the male host of the original English production. That guy was HILARIOUS! This new guy is even less funny than the American guy they used last year. Cathy, of course, is just perfectly cute as she is (just wish she'd grow her hair a little longer) :) You guys know the s...

Another great DWEEB series premieres tonight - Junkyard Wars!!!

Junkyard Wars (TLC, 9pm) - one of my favs!

This was the season premiere episode that was supposed to air the day after the terrorist attack, but TLC delayed it because of their BBC news coverage of the attack.

Setup your VCRs!!!

It'll either be great or suck eggs and nothing in between. I have my doubts. If they intend to stick to the Start Trek timeline and be accurate, they can't mention ANY technologies or issues that haven't been invented yet (for those who don't know, this series is a Star Trek pre-quel taking place be...

Guys, c'mon, you're reading too much into this. Q33 is only PART OF ONE PLANE'S TAIL NUMBER )I do not believe the NY is part of either plane's tail number, just someone came up with that because they crahsed in NY)! You know how long tail numbers are? Between both planes you probably got enough char...

Uhhhh.... no. I will not adapt to a game that does not allow me to play the way I'm used to. I tried that with Rainbow 6 and all it accomplished was to piss me off. I've been using this keyboard layout since Doom1 and it's the way I play - there's no good reason why you shouldn't be able to bind the...

Well the game is WORTHLESS to me. I can't bind the left ALT key which I use for right strafe in FPS games :(

It's going back to the store unless tech support has a fix.

No, you don't really need to use "Client for Microsoft Networks" as the logon - that's really only required for logging onto domain servers. For Peer to Peer it's uneccesary unless you're worried about security. Win9x uses password authorization at the file access level in peer-to-peer (it...

Got a subscription to a magazine once like that, and it was my own credit card company that did it. I reamed then a new a-hole for it. Speaking of credit card companies, something that irks me is these "courtesy cash advance checks" my Visa always sends me. I wish they wouldn't send them U...

Direct3D should work. You should be using the Det4 drivers.

There's no problem with DX on that card so it has to be an issue with the game. Check their website for an update patch or a FAQ that might have suggestions.

And he touched the ground cable to the power connector before the amp? The amp should be fine. Anyone got a meter? Check to see if you have power on the hot lead. I bet you don't. There SHOULD be an inline fuse on the power lead coming out of the amp - check that. Asn as stated before, check all the...
