  1. everything was kind of a bore again, it was all about games that weren't interesting to me really, they glossed over zelda and mario very quickly, and they did saturate the show with GTA3 and Madden. And if they were talking about the emotional content of games they could've payed some attention to final fantasy 7 (although the Aeris thing maybe a giveaway if broadcast on TV)

    What was also really funny to me is that I like Parasite eve, but I knew it didnt have a snowballs chance in hell of being highlighted. But it kind of did, there was a couple of frames from that scene where Sheeva mutates and the FMV of the building exploding after the plane crash at the hospital

  2. Its a shame that this project is now being dragged down into personal squabbles. I can understand where redlight is coming from and I can also understand where TO is coming from in wanting the remixes back in the project. I'm sure they are excellent remixes as redlight's other remixes are great.

    Personal feuds aside I think redlight should still release the tracks with the project. I could care less what the judges think about a particular remix and if they want to argue over petty trivialities, then let em. Their decisions in no way denigrate a particular remix as that remix is the creative vision of an artist, and might I say art is quite subjective. That said, I'm sure there would be many other people who would enjoy and appreciate the remixes regardless of the source. On behalf of those people and myself, I'm asking that redlight please reconsider putting his mixes back in the project otherwise all parties lose.

    I agree, I think one track from DSOP was rejected to be posted on OCremix, but nonetheless I enjoyed the track in question. Besides, this is free music, although quality is a nice thing to have, I think the "Remix: THASAUCE" approach to this would be good considering the anticipation of this album ("THESAUCE" approach meaning choosing a remix based on how enjoyable it is to listen to rather than the type of content)

  3. whenever I open uTorrent, it causes the computer to spaz out. It freezes for mayeb 5-10 seconds, then unfreezes for about another 5-10, then freezes, and the erratic pattern continues for a long time. At first I thought it was the "ccApp.exe" portion of Norton Antivirus (just uninstalled), but now i know its a different problem.

    Has anyone experienced this problem before and knows how to solve it? Or is another torrent downloader what I need?

  4. Ok, so i got a new computer and Norton was on it already. I know from testimonials here that norton isnt good but I thought "it must be exaggeration". It isn't. "ccApp.exe" freezes up my computer alot of times and Norton is just plain annoying to deal with all the unneeded bells and whistles.

    If i am going to uninstall Norton, should I replace with good ol' AVIRA? Or is there some hip new free AV software out? Also, if I want a firewall (zonealaram for instance) has anyone had any experiences with them going haywire or messing up their comp, not working correctly, conflicting software etc. I've never used it before and I want to be careful

    Also, if norton is to be uninstalled, is it one of those programs that leaves an annoying part of itself behind in the registry or any other hidden place? If so, should i take the steps to expunge it?

  5. the simple solution may be "print screen" but for some reason it doesnt work. I use windows media player to play the videos (AVI format) whenever I port the screen to paint, the movie itself stays in the same place and won't move, also when I save it, the image (movie portion) is gone

    whats a better way to screen capture?

  6. It won't fry your computer. I have a netgear wireless adapter for my laptop and it works fine. Are you using the driver included in the package or the most up to date one? If you're using the old one, I'd suggest downloading the new one from the site. They should have it under support or something. Also, what are you using to connect to the internet? The 3rd party software or Windows? Some people have bad luck with the 3rd party software and just have Windows to control their wireless connection. If you're using both, then I guess that could be the caues for the hangup.

    I think I installed both, first I installed the 3rd party software, but my internet didnt connect. Then I used the new hardware wizard (but I selected yes, it came with a driver disk) and then it started detecting my connection. But when I used an application that used the internet (AIM, firefox) it froze

  7. I got a NETGEAR wireless USB adapter. I installed the driver on the CD and when I tried to connect to the internet it freezes. I did some research, some say netgear is the worst thing out there while some say it's good. I'm not going to do anything with it yet for fear of frying my computer with constant restarts (like last time) so any thoughts?

  8. Personally, if a remake came out I wouldn't get it, unless they did more than make clouds pop-eye arms more realistic (graphics). If its exactly the same thing, who would get it? Of course the graphics are pretty to look at, but the story you'd know, you'd know how to beat it, etc. etc. Of course they're making that FF4 remake for the DS (are they still?!) but I think thats because the new generation may not care for mediocre pixels and graphics (although they could've gotten the advance version)

  9. the damn thing is giving me permissions issues when I try to acess thye stuff on the drive besides the share and system folders, how can I disable the protection?

    you dont need another computer, just a hard drive. put in the hard drive, load up the BIOS, and set it to slave.

    then fire up knoppix. learn a couple simple linux commands (like cp, and you might need mount.)

    cp to the slave hd.

    yay.

    Would this disable the access denied?

  10. Make sure it isn't a memory issue. If it is, then your repairs/fdisks/reinstalls will do nothing for you.

    I had bad memory, and the result was random BSODs soon after startup. Memtest might be worth running.

    is this something I can do off the command prompt? since i can't get past start-up? still, I don't know whether to use the slave or the linux disk, i'll try to slave at first, then i'll exhaust other options.

  11. change of plans, my cousin who is a technician says that repairing anything might rewrite parts of the sector which would cause some loss of data we want to recover. I am planning to slave the drive to a laptop and transfer it to a 300 GB external drive. However, the other owner of the computer is getting a linux disc, trying to replace windows or something (who knows) and trying to get it to boot up enough to get the data off. which alternative is better?

  12. Put in your windows CD, start the PC and enable booting from a device, in this case, the CD-rom.

    When it will prompt you to install, you can select "repair windows." I've done it before, the results are... well, not perfect, but it will allow you to back up your data before you reinstall windows. (I'd reinstall just to be safe)

    ah, good. You mean those disks that are like maybe 100 something dollars with the windows on them? (although i can't really think of anything besides that, that would qualify as a boot disk) i'll try that and report back whether I sucessfully backed up everything and reinstalled
