it's a router problem = turn off router for a minute, turn it back on, wait for another minute before restarting steam etc

Had 1st follow-up consultation yesterday, that didn't go too well - had a minor attack whilst I was there, persuaded the nurse not to call paramedics and admit me to another hospital 19miles away, so they booked me 2 more appointments next week - if it happens again, unfortunately I will probably have to go back in.

I'll keep you updated.  Thanks again for your wishes etc

Downloads complete :  off to shop to buy another external and flash drive :  make back-up of back-ups :  when that's done, I can setup studio again.

The dxdiag applies to one of my laptops, not tthe PC.

The 3 music programs have a combined total of 8 CDs; then re-registering to re-activate programs - businesses don't make it easy; re-installing and downloading other programs simultaneously from internet probably slowed the process down a little, but I don't mind, I'll get there in the end, maybe.

I always do a back-up before everything is loaded, then after the loading is is complete - think I will have to buy another external hard drive soon

The other question remains - to update or not with the windows crap - computer is working fine - i don't want to go through 141 windows updates - are they really necessary?

Got computer back - going to be busy for quite sometime re-installing software - took almost 10 days to get everything back on 1st time round - hope this time it will be a bit quicker.

6 hours taken to install 3 music programs :  got a long way to go : and I haven't started install drivers for printers etc.

Let's get back to basics and have a retro-week.  JC promised me over a year ago, and it's still over-due.

How about disabling lasers for individuals and make survivors buy them for the entire team (30points)?  If not, there should be an increase to 6pts - that will probably stop the majority of dubious sharp-shooters being able to buy a laser when still in the saferoom at the beginning of a match.  I think this is probably the main reason why so many are asking for the increase in price.

I'll look into idrive.

Until I get my PC back, I really can't play L4D2 - I've tried virtually every combination of settings with video and mouse, but it's much they same on all, can't get a real feel of control.

Here's an outline of the specs on this laptop : any suggestions for improved gameplay would be most grateful.

DxDiag Video.txt

It's re-installing so much software that is the time killer - took me almost 10 days to sort out last time when my poor old XP's CPU blew up.  I always do regular backups on an external Hard Drive, hundreds of CD/DVDs  and 2 Laptops - dread the thought of losing over 800 GBs of compositions, nearly 1 TB video production disappearing into the blackhole of cyberspace.

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forums.

Unfortunately due to main computer away being repaired, I have no copy of screen shot or demo.

WE  DO  NOT  TOLERATE   RACIST  or  any other form of abusive behaviour. 

No matter how much you plead, as far as I'm concerned your ban can stay.

You will have to wait for a decision until I hear from a Board Member.

There was a whirring noise, no beeping, IDK what mobo is, there is a green light showing at back of computer; error message just reads:  Microsoft Windows failed to load, then machine crashes.  Eventually it did boot-up after 2hours, but takes a further 30mins or so to load up applications.

2 yrs old, never a problem until recently - Win 8.1 has got to be the culprit.

Anyhow, as this is my mainframe computer for music & video production, it is insured against things like this happening.  Hence I'm a bit wary of doing anything to it as it may invalidate the insurance.  He's gone in for repair and a bit of an update.  Will take about a week before I get it back.

Tonight computer crashed.  It took over one hour to boot-up.  When it did finally get there, an error message appeared : Windows application failed and computer freezes.

I have no clue what's caused this. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Sounds as though this should be renamed The Peanut Server?

Closing this before we have another drama in a tea-cup :  you will have to wait for Peanut for a final decision no matter however long that may be, your ban will not be uplifted.

You were swearing.   Case closed.  You will have to wait for intervention of Peanut. 

Please refer to this :   http://gamrs.co/forums/index.php?/topic/45819-1-day-ban-and-im-still-banned/

You have promised to stop swearing - you were given a serious warning by Peanut today with a perma-ban (start of Parish) to stop.  You came here and promised you would stop.  However, you have failed to live up to your end of the bargain and were constantly swearing again (No Mercy).  Hence the perma-ban.

You have been warned, kicked and banned multiple times for your language - I am not going to uplift the ban.  It is now in the hands of Board Members if they  want to give you the benefit of the doubt again.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

This is a no rushing server.  You rush, you die and leave, you spoil the round for your team - only takes one rusher on this server to kill an entire team, which is what happened after you left.

Please refrain from doing this in future as next time we won't be so lenient.

I will go ahead and unban you, please take note of server guidelines and rules for future reference.

Thank you all and especially to Chick who made the E-card.   Save you the trouble of downloading, I made a video of it for you and composed a little ditty to go with it.  Thanks again - love you all loads.

40 is the new 20 :  Happy Birthday

Come back soon as you're settled, are you having a house warming party?

Please Jaycee, trying to admin at the best of times is difficult enough - especially when teams are so stacked and unbalanced, we don't need approval from players to balance teams, it is our job to try and make the game as fair and balanced for all concerned without the unnecessary comments.  It's not much fun when games are played like this for all concerned, so we don't need the crappy comments to boot.

That being said, thank you for the apology and I will go ahead and remove the ban, but please in future, let us do our job without any further BS.

Thanks

BTW, it's nice to see a straightforward apology without the drama, much appreciated - let this be a lesson to all who wish to have a ban uplifted if you have one.

Thanks for the reminder - 8 different meds to take - takes a while for dozyness to kick in

Dehydrated fast-frozen microwave ready meals is not an English invention :  it was invented by and for single lonely men living in a 1 room apartment, somewhere in South CanadaLand

 Come back so Peanut will stop playing, every team he is on loses.

Pasta shells - lots of naughty words had to be replaced with truck
