First thing I would check is the RAM. On my old PC, I had a stick of RAM going bad - I would constantly get the BIOS screen on boot (I imaging it was because the system memory would read a different amount from what it was supposed to be). Programs would act up, files would become corrupted...

For those that missed it in the credits, I found it interesting that Glen Larson was a consulting producer on the new BSG. From SciFi.com's blurb about the BSG Crew: Does anyone know how much input he had into the new BSG?

I never got the impression you were being fanatical, and it has been a pretty good discussion so far. Everyone's being pretty civil about it (and granted, BSG doesn't have the following of something like LotR that can really wind up fans of it). Trust me, I know your disappointment. I was...

True, but since it's a story and not a "reailty TV show" I find I don't have to be "hardheadedly realistic" about it. I approach watching it the same way I approach gaming, that is to say with a moderate level of "suspension of disbelief". I do understand how this can bother some people, I'm...

I wasn't bothered by the lapses in discipline. From the impression I got, being stationed on the Galactica wasn't exactly the "top spot" or most prestigious posting in the fleet. At one point we are told that 30 Battlestars are destroyed which is 1/4 of the fleet, so say 120 Battlestars, all...

Well, I'll address a few of your points with my opinions: Yeah, I almost said the same thing. I figured the boy was going to be named Boxy when Boomer had him in the cockpit when they lifted off. It was the bowl haircut that gave it away. At least he doesn't seem as annoying as the old Boxy so...

Ok, I'll throw my opinions in as well: As someone who watched the original, I'll have to say I was surprised how much I liked this new take on it. I believe many of the discussions here so far missed what I thought the major point of the show (so far) was: Responsibility. Adama pointed it out...

For some reason, it sounds like you're stuck in Safe Mode. Safe Mode doesn't load your normal video drivers, it uses Microsoft's default VGA driver (which is why you cannot change screen resolution, colors, etc). Try going to the Start button, then to Run and click on it. In the white command...

Someone's been watching "The Untouchables" movie again! :)

Heh, had sort of the same problem - my wife loves to play M.A.X. by Interplay(the first one, not the silly M.A.X. 2), but it is a DOS game. She was running Win98 SE and it ran fine, but when we upgraded her whole computer (the new one had XP Pro), it wouldn't even run. Here's some tricks I...

Hmm, this is hard to answer. High cost powers or powers that do many things are constructed using a "building block" type of power construction of lesser effects. To be honest, it took me a little while to wrap my mind around it, but once I "got" it I wonder why it gave me so much trouble. Must...

You realize of course that unless he destroyed the phylactery that you drd5/shifter15 now has a torqued-off wiz35 lich gunning for him? Not bad enough he interfered with his duel, but he made him look like an idiot in front of the less powerful wizard-lich. It's not that you didn't get a TPK...

Excellent! You should be in good shape. It's fairly easy to get these back in action. Sorry, can't help with the iTunes question.

As far as I know, this will not stop messenger from starting again automatically next time you start Windows, all you're doing is stopping the service right now, not changing how the service starts. There are many ways to do it but I figured I post a set of detailed instructions for those who...

Luckily for you, there are a bunch of stories available on the web: http://www.ech-pi-el.com/lovecraft/works/index.htm or http://www.gizmology.net/lovecraft/works/index.htm Both links are the same, but in case one isn't available I posted both. Start with (obviously) The Call of Cthulhu. I'd...

Hmm, according to Microsoft this is how to disable it: To prevent Windows Messenger from running, use one of the following methods. Windows Messenger 4.0 or Later on a Windows XP Professional-Based Computer Click Start, click Run, type gpedit.msc, and then press ENTER. Double-click the...

Here's some classics: Andre Norton: Daybreak 2250 (which was originally titled Star Man's Son): Not bad if I remember, I read it years ago Robert Adams: The Horseclans series: Milo the Undying in PA America. Brian Aldiss: Starship: This had to be the basis for the old TSR Metamorphosis Alpha...

Dragon #312 has the poster insert with all the figs on it.

That would be from Lonesome Dove. My wife loves the books, so I get to hear all about it and watch the miniseries about a million times. Here's one I caught part of on TV yesterday. Now I'm going to have to dig out my VCR tape and watch the whole thing again: "We'll do this the old Navy way...
