    PES 6 2 player mode

    HI, trying to run PES 6 on the PC. I got the XFX xgear gamepad for player 1. I can't seem to find a way for my friend to play using the keyboard. I want to play against a player playing with the keyboard. How do I do that? Any help would be appreciated.

    How to serve divs...if that makes sense

    I can see on many sites, they offer a service where they give you some html code to paste on your web page, and at runtime some html from their server is placed there. Like: You enter <script******="blahblah.com?blah"></script> on the page and voila', at runtime there's a neat little table...

    Help on temp upgrade

    I may be able to go around the $100-$130 range. I see that the x1600xt is available at that price. Will it be better than the aforementioned cards? Is there another card better than these three at that price? I will be selling it off soon, so a newer gen is more attractive. And will I see better...

    FEAR sound issue

    Fixed it. It's got nothing to do with the hardware or fear settings. I had ace mega codecs packs installed with prof settings. I lowered the ace codec settings by disabling some [chose player settings]. That fixed it. It seems there was a conflict in the ace and fear mp3 codecs. Thanks for your...

    FEAR sound issue

    I tried "disable hardware sound", "disale sound filters" and both....but if "disable sound" is unchecked, fear crashes on start. I can keep all the other options enabled in the config utility, except for sound. By the way, my soundmax driver version is 5.12.1.3538.

    FEAR sound issue

    Everytime I start fear, it crashes [black scrren...have to ctrl+alt+del out]. If I use config and disable sound, then it plays ok. I think I saw somewhere that it's coz of EAX 2.0 or something. Is there any way I can play with sound? This is my system: P4 2.8E, 1GB ddr400, msi 875pneo fis2r...

    A simple BIOS/driver upgrade wonder

    No. Tried with Norton. Still great. My friends copy of HL2 is old. He bought it some time ago. I just installed it. Haven't done any patches. The drivers I tried to install before were 71.22. Every time I installed them, I got BSOD. And the drivers are not too small a download on my low...

    can an experienced programmer clear this up for me?

    Depends on the portion of the software industry you want to target. If you go into driver development, C# would be useless compared to assembly/C/C++. If you're building apps like MS Word, then C# is better. Games are usually a mix of assembly and C++. Recently though, MS has come up with...
