July 14, 200322 yr I am...b..b..bor...bored out of my skullMy D drive (where all my games are located) is completely fu...frikked up.I can't play any games/mods (besides Starcraft, which seems to work perfectly.)Whenever I try to play anything, it freezes up even before I get to the menu screen. For mods, it's when the splash screen comes up and I'm joining the server...then it freezes.bah...It's been like this all week (I've wrapped Starcraft 4 times in this past week)I must...play...something...elseI have perfected the Protoss rushing technique on Battle.net...and I've had enough games of Dodge the Rapists (a Starcraft custom map)I must *twitch*So...I've been forced down to three things:1.Searching random words in the images section of Google2.Jump on every new post in the TA forums and read the topic over at least 4 times3.Look at every gaming site (planethalflife/planetunreal/planetbattlefield, Mod Squad, Bf42.com,) for any new info...which never comesI know, some of you may say, "Get off the computer and do something else!"but you see, this is where the problem liesAll my friends are on vacation,I've finished the fifth Harry Potter...and it was so...event-less that I'm not gonna re-read it.I want to go and get Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but it keeps slipping out of my memoryThe Patriot is on right now, that's a good movie, but it's almost over...Constant re-runs of X-Play on TechTV (it's not a porn show, it's about videogames) is boring as hell.Listen...does any1 know any fun/good webgames that take a while to complete but are fun all the way through?This might help the twitching...Please...help...before I start watching The Matrix over and over and over...
July 14, 200322 yr goto your system accessories and scandisc and defrag your harddrive.If that does not work. Buy Norton systemworks.2002 can be had for under $10 and it is likely that it can fix your problem.Reinstall the games. They usually write overtop and save your settings and saved games.
July 14, 200322 yr Author it defrags every time I start up (when it's doing scandisk)I'm getting FAT error messages when it trys to do the scandisk thing for D drive
July 14, 200322 yr id say go format your d: drive and reinstall everything if you have the cds Also, if you're bored, try runescape at www.runescape.com Also, goto google and type in Diib's dilemma Shockwave is also fun, specially ZipZaps
July 14, 200322 yr OW ! I typed in an another post UnwantedHero : 1)never INSTALL the programs or games in other drive that C: cos all programs must be in & with windows drive ! 2)If you have 2 hd, it's very good : you get your mods files, updates & backup in D: drive also when drive C crash, you have always your saved files cos never to format drive D: for files stockages. 3)If your C: drive crash, virus or other problems, if you have INSTALLED all prgrams in D:, when you reinstall windows & all programs, win reject the programs INSTALLED in D: cos the "win registers" dont find them & type there is double use of the same registers for 1 program and block the pc : win is very crazy & scareing... 4)Defraging a hd, it's only recommanded 1 by month only, not everyday : more work = use up or consume you hd quickly ! I have 2 hd of 40GB. : 1)C: for win with all programs INSTALLED. 2)D: for all my backup, docs, mod files (all for fireams and TA) & music + films stocked in this D: backup drive... Also, when C: crash like 2 times in 06-03, all my files are save and by D: i INSTALL them in C: each time ! Egidio. PS. A hint : when win in C: work to find the "FA game" from D:, it lost most times access between the 2 hd also if they are not connected in the same IDE or ATA cable ! And also, you use up & consume 2 hd in place of 1 : the C: ????
July 14, 200322 yr You can download Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for free from the Wolfenstein site (not sure of the address). It's good for a free game. It's a standalone mulitplayer game actually, not a demo, so there are plenty of people playing it with good servers.
July 14, 200322 yr Author You can download Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for free from the Wolfenstein site I already did this, played for a while, then deleted it. I don't really like the RtCW engine...
July 14, 200322 yr ...Also, if you're bored, try runescape at www.runescape.com it's mmorpg propaganda! dont listen to it!
July 16, 200322 yr it's mmorpg propaganda! dont listen to it! I remember back in the day when I played mmorpg....or any rpg... ONly rpg's I can say I liked where Chrono Trigger (old) and FF series... online rpg's only give problems with hacking and etc.... or maybe thats just the few rpg's I know of...I'd rather jump run attack etc
