boy has an emachine that hasn't yet but upgraded since it came out of the box. specs are:
Intel Celeron D processor 352/ 320 GHz/533 MHz FSB
512 MB DDR2
ati radeon xpress 200 with available PCI express slot
when he installs prey and goes to run it, the game immediately shuts down and gives the standard "something fucked up in windows, do you want to report this?" dialogue. uninstall and reinstall yields nothing. several other games work fine.
any ideas? i can't figure it out.

Bohemia Interactive, the developers of Armed Assault, is very interested in improving the game based upon feedback to the demo and CZ/German releases. I have the opportunity to speak directly to BIS about various elements that could use improvement for the upcoming UK release, and while there are a great many things I plan to suggest on my own, it would be wise to get quality feedback from others so that I can present issues that I may not personally have (as a veteran OFP player) but that newer players might be frustrated by.
To that end, I would like to ask anyone who played the game and had issues with it to take a few minutes to post up some of the problems they had, along with solutions that would satisfy them. The idea here is to get a sampling of feedback from people who may or may not be hardcore OFP players as to what they found to be problems with the game. Please do not suggest things that are impractical to implement in the span of two or three months worth of development. Keep them realistic if you'd like them to be included in the list.
There is no doubt in my mind that the feedback gained from this will be heard and acted on by BIS. If you want to make a difference, please take a few minutes to give me some feedback.

A month ago, we ordered new cell phones and a plan through LetsTalk.com. Holy shit was that a big mistake. Timeline:
5DEC: 2 phones arrive. One is broken. Call LetsTalk to get RMA/exchange. Working phone has an out-of-area phone number, but I have alltel change it. Oh, and LetsTalk "forgot" to cancel my wife's old service when they transferred the number over. Oh, and they told alltel to sign us up for the wrong plan.
16DEC: replacement phone arrives; same non-functional screen problem as before. Call LetsTalk again for a replacement.
28DEC: 2nd replacement phone arrives; it WORKS! Too bad it's got the wrong number. Call alltel to give us our transferred-over number, and they say they can't because this phone is still registered to an account that is not ours (wtf, refurbished phone?). Call LetsTalk, they said they'd have it fixed in 24 hours, along with our plan change. 24 hours later, call LetsTalk again; this time it'll "only take 24 hours to get fixed! enjoy your phones!".
2JAN: Shit still doesn't work, and we're still on the wrong plan. Call LetsTalk's customer service line, and they're swamped with calls and I get cut off while on hold... twice.
My coworker used Letstalk, and got 2 phones that worked and he's happy. I guess if *anything* goes wrong, it takes a huge effort to get it fixed. Vegas, baby.
TL;DR: LetsTalk.com sucks balls.

I'm a bit disappointed there isn't more banter between party members, it's a little shocking to put random assortments of characters together and not have them say something to each other.

It was alright, but I don't think it had enough emotional impact to be a drama, not enough action to keep from falling into boredom, and the sets weren't good enough to really portray a futuristic dystopia.
It was decent, but I don't think it deserves the 94% it's getting on Rottentomatoes. Is it because it's the only decent british flick to come out in a while?
Bullshit :(

I had mixed feelings about it on launch, but a few patches (which have been regular, and significant) and the expansion helped a lot for fixing the quirks that bothered me about it
Beyond that however, an incredible 250 page full color and highly detailed fan manual is what pushed it from 'pretty but ok' to 'a heck of a lot of fun'
The hero skill system is entirely haphazard unless you know how it works, as are many other aspects of the game, but once they're exposed (in a manual that should have been with the game in the first place), it's much more enjoyable to play
Grab them here (in any language you care to read :P)
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/game_manuals.shtml
The latest patch is 1.4 (or 2.0 for the expansion), which has a very annoying bug with the Inferno town (dying gated stacks and occasionally the Mark of the Damned can cause crashes), so be aware of that if you're trying to tackle the single player campaign. You can revert to 1.3 to get past that part easily enough.
1.5/2.1 (expansion) is due sometime this month, with yet more improvements. They may be adding customization to duel mode, which lets you pick heroes and just have a tactical battle (quite a lot of fun actually, and they added 3x3 mode, which lets you pick three armies and swap them as they are defeated)
I still have a few issues with the game, but the hero skill system and tactical combat are just flatly superior to the other heroes games (and a lot of other similar tbs games as well). Plus, the graphics are beautiful and the music is as nice as always (same composers!). With the release of the map editor, there are now new maps being created for it regularly, and with the expansion at least, plenty of scenarios as well as a massive number of campaign maps..

They are a rock band from Portland. They have 3 full length albums out, and all of them are really good. Their songs are all very similar, short, and simple, but they are catchy as hell, and every one of them is good.

Here is a video of "A Pillar of Salt" from their latest album "The Body The Blood The Machine"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4Iobo18U9w
I saw this on the wikipedia link and laughed.
The band turned down a $50,000 offer for the right to use their song "It's Trivia" (from More Parts Per Million) in a Hummer commercial. Harris commented on the decision in a February 2006 asap article: "We thought about it for about 15 seconds, maybe...it was a really easy decision. How could we go on after soundtracking Hummer? It's just so evil."

I'm kind of impatient and skimmed over it but if I'm reading that correctly.......
He's NOT a US citizen
He's born of another country
His web page is running in another country on a different stock exchange.
He's PRO government regulation of his industry, he wants it to become legit
He was arrested while travelling THROUGH the USA on holiday?!
Can someone please tell me I'm reading that incorrectly and I've missed something because the outrage here is off the chart.

Whenever I'm at the store, I always see Ratchet & Clank, Jak, and Sly games. Are these like Sony's version of Mario, Yoshi, etc? There seem to be a lot of them, and the boxes don't really indicate how any of them play. What do they play like and are they worth checking out?

I need some help. My DVD player died. I think daughter misloaded a DVD and it burned out the motor trying to spin. In any case, the motor is dead.
I really have a thing for 5 disc players so I don't have to put up my movies just to put one in. My current one is a Sony that seems to play almost anything I put inside it that's not completely gouged to hell.
I was thinking of:

but I wanted to check here first. Divx isn't needed, but dvd+r playback is a must. Anyone have one they are in love with? At $140 it almost seems like I should just be buying a 360 instead.
