Using the worst implementation of a system isn't an indictment of all such systems in any application. I think it's much more useful to look at the best implementations of a system to judge its potential merits and flaws. Of course, there's no guarantee either way, so the point is moot. I just hope they don't make it damn near manditory to constantly have to repair your weapons and armor ala Oblivion.

I never say "bless you" when someone sneezes.

I'm not embarassed by my mistakes. It's how we learn...

Anyone who played Descent to Undermountain knows how terrible D&D can be. What point are you trying to make? That it can still be terrible?

Man, do I feel like a tool... I suppose it would help if I put the CD in the correct drive, huh? D'oh!

That's exactly why I'm worried...

Ok, so I tried using Nero to make a bootable CD, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do, or what it's supposed to do. I want the cd to make it to where when the computer starts, it boots to the command prompt at the D: drive so I can use a cd from that point. Am I missing something?

Weapons degrade with use....mother fxcker....

Knocked Up Farkin' hilarious.

It's the Welcome Screen, and I'm not sure how to get to the recovery console. Do I use the XP installation disk (boot with it)?

This is a different problem, one not involving Vista. My mothers computer (my old one) recently lost power due to a power outage, but whenever the logon screen came back up, entering in the login information only led to a dialogue box saying that the domain cannot be found, please contact the admin (which would be me). This is the second time this has happend, and I had to format the HD last time and reinstall windows. Here is the exact error: The system cannot log you on due to the following error: The specified domain either does not exist or cannot be contacted. Please try again or contact your system administrator. I tried loggin on through safemode and it gives me the same error...any ideas? Ir'a XP Pro SP2, btw.

I meant requirements as in system specs. He just wants Vista, and me to install it. I'm looking for the best way

It's by no means an OLD machine. It was just built about a year ago (give or take a month) and it does meet the requirements. Hell, it's better than most new machines that Vista probably comes with.

Well, a new comp is out of the question, really, as is a new HD. He's had the pc a while and it could probably do with a good format anyway. Not like backing up the data is a huge hassle. I've just always been a fan of a fresh new install...but maybe that's just me. But why is it better to buy a new computer with Vista, especially if it surpasses the requirements and a clean HD?

Say a friend of mine recently bought Vista (ew!). What would be the best way to upgrade. I'm thinking wipe the HD and install on a fresh partition (after backing up critical data, of course) so everything is "like new." Or should I install it over XP in an "upgrade" manner? I have never really been a fan of this method, for some reason. Also, which is the best one if he decides he doesn't like Vista at all and wants to go back? Note, I've never used Vista before...

It's just a teaser...it's not supposed to show anything of substance.

Looked great. It really captured the familiar art direction and atmospher of the first two games, and THAT is what made Fallout great for me...that, and the awesome roleplaying. I'm hoping that Beth doesn't serve a turkey on that one.

STOLE'D

His score: 8.2 (Great) Hmm...

This might get me to finally buy NWN2

Wait, what?

I could agree to that.

Need drugs to come up with this stuff? Bizarre to say the least. Cocorosie

Who we talking to here?

They were probably ugly.
