No definitely not. A restore disk needs most of the OS installed. Your problems sound like video card or video driver related. Im guessing that your machine works ok the rest of the time. Ideally you should thrash different aspects of the video card and see where it hangs. Im guessing that it...

This means that your event log is switched off so its not going to report any errors like your STOP problem until its switched on. It appears as though you have a number of services disabled. You should go to your administration tools / services and look at what you have enabled (Auto / Manual...

All stop messages like this should be recorded in the event log with the program or driver that caused it. That would be a good starting point.

The machine mine is fitted into is water cooled so it didnt have a big CPU fan churning air around in there so it had pretty static airflow. The card would go up to about 100deg peak and was scalding hot to touch the heatsink which I reckon, for silicon, is too hot. The utility that came with it...

I have a PCIe 256Mb 7600GS and its very good indeed. I bought one of the versions that was fanless in an attempt to make a quiet PC but I found that it did get really hot. If you do go for one like this and it goes where there is little airflow then you should also budget for an extra fan. I...

That laptop will positively suck at graphics and will stand no chance of running NWN or any other game that uses 3D. The laptop question has come up before and I will say again, you need to get a laptop that has a graphics processor in it that has its own memory and does not share its video ram...

I have found that the Canon range is good because a) You get separate ink cannisters for each color so you only buy the one thats run out, b) The ink hasnt got any nasty chip lockout stuff in it so you dont get scammed when some arbitrary date passes by, and c) you can also get a replacement...

I didnt know about this and its just excellent - very useful AND damned hilarious to boot !

Might be a bit overkill for what you want but you can take a peek at ViewingDale. There is a free trial / demo here, and some movies including creating a small dungeon room and then linking that into a larger dungeon. How detailed do you want them ? Do you want floor & wall outlines or a more...

Not necessarily true at this point but I would get that card out, hold it with an earthed hand (lean on the case with the mains power lead plugged into PSU) and look at it real close with a magnifier or gem of true seeing. Wobble the big components and see if there is any play - esp that big...

You might like to check out ViewingDale which can do all that you request. There is a movie about the fog of war abilities on the (new !) website. http://www.viewingdale.com ViewingDale movies... --update, sorry guys I just checked the link and its broken - brand new website etc, so here is...

Its definitely a driver issue... having said that it could be that your system is overheating and causing an exceptional situation and excercising some area of the drivers that are not normally used - or tested. The first place to start is by opening the event log and looking at the system...

Before you go out and splash dosh... have you got a molex extension cable - like you would use for an extra fan that has a female on one side and a male on the other plus some extra fan connector or third molex ? You could try to power up the machine with the extra cable powering up the video...

I think that the previous posts have summed it up - you need to swap each bit out in turn until you find what is the problem. One thing you can try tho. Can you use the front panel monitor buttons to bring up the "On Screen Display" panel on the monitor - assuming you have one like that. That...

I must disagree with some of the previous post. I think that creating vector media takes ages and gives a very limited range of options. The biggest problem is that it immediately cuts you off from using all of the images to be found on the web, digital photos and scans from old books etc...

My dual core is an AMD 64 X2 type and I love it becuase it has 64 bit instructions when at the time I bought it the intels did not. I am not typical in my requirements however and I doubt that games manufacturers are going to produce x64 and ia64 versions of their games. It appears that the...

I think that your first decision should be whether it needs to be portable or not. If it does then just how portable. And next on the list is cost. If you want to play in LAN parties or say you DM for a group but play at a friends house and want to use the computer then portability might be...

Im naive about CC but can't you create some green mountain icons then ?

a) Back link works for me too now - well done. :) b) Yes, I wanted to create a lot of rooms, put them in a paint package and flood fill the floor with some texture or do some other whizzy stuff but the black squares got in the way a bit for me. Its no big deal really. c) Is the most important...
