Same here. Bit later, my cousin went out and got the black box basic D&D in the 90s and as they say, "the rest is history" One fond memory was when me and my brother were playing with my dad and we were both in a long hallway and he zapped us with a lightning spell. D'oh! :p Those were fun days.

Well it seems I fixed it, 800x600 in 32-bit color resolution! Woohoo! :) I went through msconfig and changed the display driver under boot.ini in system.ini to the driver for the nvidia vanta. It seems work. I guess someone went through msconfig and played around. I don't understand how they...

Ok, the virus didn't seem to do anything apparently. At least not what I got from the site. Anyone else have suggestions for my problem? Or a computer site/board specifically for such things?

Well I used a virus checker and got JS/Loop. What is it? I don't know, the problem doesn't have any info on it. Anyone know what it is and what it does?

Well I did install a program, but I don't think that has anything to do with it...I'm unistalling it now as well as anything else I've recently installed.

I didnt install/remove any hardware or software or change any settings. I thought it might be with the video, but the computer has integrated video so I dont know where the drivers would be? On the windows disk or online somewhere? Its the some Nvidia Vanta integrated video. I also tried the...

It seems computers hate me. I have another problem. You see I was on the computer one night, works fine, then I shut it off. No problems yet. Next day, before anyone else, I turn it on and the computer boots up in 640x480 in 16-bit. I can't change the resolution and colors and I have no idea...

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I've done some more sifting through various sites and I've seen that some people have trouble with the Asus boards now. I pretty much am now thinking I'm just gonna get the system I mentioned, but with a XP 2400+ or higher and 512 memory (2x256). As for the...

That setup looks good. Yeah I could save more money by not getting a keyboard and monitor, but having an optical mouse would be nice. :) I could also save a bit more by gettng the Logitech Z320 3-pc speakers. As for the sound and LAN cards, I would get them anyways as I wouldn't want to stress...

While back, I was unable to get updates for Norton and my computer has a single cd drive thats shot and its now been a few months without updates. How are the online virus checkers out there? Ive always had the fear that they were infected somehow cause of hackers messing around with them. Are...

I was hoping to have them build it for me. I never really considered the added cost though. If they can assemble it, I wouldn't mind paying for it. I know people say its pretty easy, but Im just afraid I would do it wrong or snap something.

Edit ----- Well I looked around again and noticed that the FX5200 is pretty much useless nowadays, as well as most Nvidia cards, and the 9600 is the way to go. Also found out some other things, but seeing how that place I want to get it from doesn't carry any of it, Im pretty much outta luck...

Thats for the answers. I always wondered how the FX5200 compared to the GF4 MX cards, but I could never find a side-by-side comparison. So if I drop the FX5200, what are some other options out there under $100?

I'm looking around for a new computer to replace to old clunker I have now. Its mainly gaming, especially large multiplayer games like Battlefield 1942. I've decided on AMD, but as I know very little about computers, I want suggestions, advice, etc on everything. Two things to keep in mind is...

I know this doesn't have anything relating to Nifelhein's question, but I recently saw a thread on another board about some guy on Ebay selling other peoples' fan art as his own.

Umm...what type of house do exactly live in? An abandoned military missile silo? (which sounds cool btw :D )

Yeah its real nice to have a birthday and christmas on the same month. My B-day is Dec 6th. I usually try to convince the family to just get me a big list o' stuff or a single expensive item for both days. Sadly, it hasn't really worked out yet though. :(

Isn't there already a monster like that, the DM? But, seriously, you really couldn't stat such a being into D&D cause can't they do anything they wished?

Ok now I'm scared... :eek: Just last thursday night I had a dream my house caught fire along with two others. First thing I did in the dream was get my sister's cat which was the only pet inside, besides fish. Anyways, I was pretty much grabbing the things that were good, and thats pretty much...

Parents bought the Hero Quest game for christmas and then a few months later, my cousin got the 'Classic D&D' black box with the red dragon cover in the early 90s, which is now mine. :D
