Good morning! I was glad to see that the new ATI drivers fixed a slowdown problem in Freelancer, now I can actually resume playing that game again (I got pretty far in, but then went from a GeForce 3 to a Radeon 9500 Pro). But after a while I got tired of travelling for 5 minutes to get to my destination so I went on to play Age of Mythology instead. There's just something about those Ensemble Studios Age Of ... games that pull me in, even if at first I think there is nothing new. Movie: Well, why don't you say strange or weird? I mean 'hinky', that has no meaning!
















  • Well it's done..I have installed XP after using 98 since it's release. Just finished my last test (BF42).

    - dozens of 98 annoyances gone
    - applications run faster wow
    - integrated PPPoE, vid edit etc.
    - resources seem to be allocated/used better for individual apps ( no more choppy IE when watching TV with Dscaler..finally)
    - just about everything works! only thing I lost was my 10 year old Plustek scanner..new gift for the bro in law.

    My only complaint is BF42. It looks like crap when I'm in a fast moving vehicle (plane) or when I look around fast...almost like it needs a "smooth mouse" option to clean it up (not unlike Q3A). I'm guessing it's probably an option somewhere. Some of my sounds seem "muffled" or are much too quiet while others sound fine.

    The whole OS has a really nice "feel" to it...I have been missing out it seems. Thanks all for the input earlier.
