    Video Issues...

    This is a bit of a semi educated guess but looking at the xls file there is one oddity. Your AGP window is 1026Mb which is very high indeed and it might be that if you have two graphics cards on SLI I would imagine that you would have two windows. You are displaying 2.5Gb of physical memory. I...

    Electronic Character Sheet for laptop use

    My suggestion would be similar to the one I mailed over at WotC... http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=982116 1024x768 is not a great deal of pixels to get a lot of text out of. Therefore you might have to have a system that can either page up bits of the sheet or else navigate to them...

    Luminotes personal wiki for GMs

    Cool. With images I reckon a nice feature would be to link to an image on another web/ftp site like you have but have a small thumbnail inline to just remind you of what that image is all about. I usually have a list of images like map1, map2, map3 etc I don't need to see the entire image inline...

    Luminotes personal wiki for GMs

    Well I just tried it and I really like it. I have used several wikis like mediawiki and TWiki and there are a few points here that make it a little different. I do like the way you don't have to edit / save. You can go back and re-edit a post just like a notepad. The killer for me is the https...

    Xbox 360 +1080p HDTV = WOW

    This monitor was a CRT - massive thing and I mean in depth not screen size. Nobody wanted it. Company chucking it had a pile of monitors to replace with LCDs and this was the last to go because of its size - couldn't give it away. But its high res and large screen so for the price of a VGA cable...

    Xbox 360 +1080p HDTV = WOW

    I have an Xbox360 and its being used with a VGA cable on a large monitor which somebody was replacing with a flat screen so I nabbed it. Its very nice but not quite HD. I tried it on a friends 40" 1080p and it was very cool but it depends on how close you sit to the screen. HD allows you closer...

    Halo 2 to 3

    I would say that its a little like reading a book from the middle of a large ongoing saga or a film where there is a trilogy. You would not get so much history on the master chief and the story or the build up on the halo ring or perhaps know what its all about. The third episode does not...

    How do you share large files online?

    I was just suggesting that if you zip them you might get them smaller than your email limit or that you can compress and split them into chunks less than your email limit. Then you email them. I thought that the issue was that you could not email them because they were too big and not that using...

    How do you share large files online?

    I believe that MS does an online live space that you can use. You could any ISP web space if you have it. Both of these involve a 3rd party to host your file. If you leave your PC on whilst the other person collects the material then you could run an FTP server and tell the other user your...

    Windows XP 64-bit

    I have been running XP x64 for about a year to year and a half now and I have had very little driver issues. Firstly I had the first nVidia beta x64 driver and it worked just fine. I have a newer one now but basically I have had no issues whatsoever with them. My newer Canon printer works very...

    [Windows XP Home Edition] An empty folder I can't delete

    Thats a real corker you got there. I thought that something like a service had a file open in that folder and it was not allowing you to delete it based on that but it sounds like the folder has some set of permissions that you cant obtain in order to delete it - even with admin access ! I...

    Planning a new computer - what do you think?

    32 bits = 4Gb and 32 bit windows by default splits that address space 50-50 into user and kernel and the kernel does not need a lot of memory so with 2Gb you get a little reserved for kernel and you get the rest. As far as I know, the PAE switch tells the system to use 1Gb for kernel and 3Gb for...

    Planning a new computer - what do you think?

    2Gb is max for 32bit unless you use the PAE switch which makes it 3Gb. Buying 4Gb for a 32bit OS is a waste of money. But if you do go 64 bit then 4Gb+ is very nice.

    Any advice on free software to help manage my games?

    The ViewingDale dice roller is a free download.

    A little advise and opinion please

    Hi Talisman, I write ViewingDale and I would think that it would cover some of what you are looking for. It is a virtual table top based around variable scale mapping which includes large scales. The interface is a pan and zoom type and it does this very fast by using graphics card acceleration...

    Why is my internet getting soooooo slow?

    Obviously you have a modem connection issue to deal with and maybe some hidden apps stealing bandwidth but since the web pages are getting larger with more adverts and stuff in them you should try an advert blocking filter. If you run Firefix then you can get AdBlock plus from here...

    Recommend Win98SE DVD burning software to me...

    Is there any way of getting one disc burned at a friends, school, work or something. If thats an option then you can burn a disc of Ubuntu which is a CD disc installer and is supposed to be able to read the files on the harddrive too. I believe, though as you can tell im not all that sure, that...
