I tried to install Microsoft AntiSpyware and I get the Windows installer error. "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."...
I believe it's a Corporate version and it's not Norton AV. It's installed to C:/Program Files/Symantec Antivirus if that helps at all. I also would check what's running in task manager, but it's disabled through the group policy and nothing loads in there.
Well the computer started out not starting into Windows. It'd get to the WindowsXP screen and then restart before loading a bar. I fixed this by going to the Recovery Console and running chkdsk. Then once I got into Windows, there was no start menu and it took over 2 minutes to even load to...
I'm looking to a buy a new PSU but I wanted to get some opinions on which one I should choose. I want to spend between $50-90 before tax/shipping. I'm looking at the OCZ Modstream 450W and Enermax Noisetaker 420W. I do overclock so I want to make sure it's stable :)
Current Specs:
AMD...
Well, I have the same problem with two brand new sticks of OCZ and had problems with the 2 previous and this is with 2.7V. I don't think that it's the memory and I've been all over with the FSB from 200 and down.
I'll start out with my current computer specs -
AMD 2500+ Barton (locked multiplier) with Vantec Aeroflow (no problems with temps)
ASUS A7N8X
1GB(2x512) OCZ EL PC3200 Platinum Edition (2-3-2-5)
Western Digital 40GB 7200RPM 8mb buffer
ATI 9800Pro 128mb
Creative Live Audigy2 ZS
52x32x52x...
I found a thread that shows that the stock Clawhammer will bench higher than the Newcastle stock, but the NC will have higher overclock potential. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35186
I'm helping my friend build his new comp and this is what we have right now. We were wondering if there is anything you'd add or change. He may or may not overclock so we also want to make sure it'll be stable if he chooses to oc. It'll also mainly be used for gaming.
AMD Athlon 64 3400+...
I can't decide if I want to buy Corsair XMS 512MB DDR PC-3200C2PT (2-3-3-6 1T) for $120, OCZ Enhanced Latency Series 512MB PC-3200 Platinum Edition (2-3-2-5 1T) for $120 or OCZ Enhanced Bandwidth DDR PLATINUM PC3200 DDR400 512MB (2.5-3-2-8) for $129 (from www.mwave.com though). I will...
Before I got my new video card, my Albatron 4200 128mb 8x was running stable at 290/650 and I believe that it could have gone faster. All on stock cooling with the X-Alien case (6 fans).
I've already tried using Rage3D, and it doesn't have that exact adjustment just the "OGLLODBias" which doesn't do anything like the RivaTuner command/tweak. :(
Is it possible to adjust the Mipmap LOD Bias in OpenGL specifically (i.e. -0.1 or 2.3) on a Radeon (9800Pro) through the registry or a program? I've tried changing around the "Mipmap Detail Level" but that isn't enough. I used to edit it with RivaTuner on my old nVidia 4200. I only change it to...
I checked out what the "Lite" referred to on the Sapphire site before I bought it :D.
"Full retail indicates that the package contains the entire bundle including the Game software bundle and utilities. The Lite retail versions do not come bundled with the software bundle and are packaged...
Yeah, I guess I'm going to get a 9800P (Sapphire RADEON 9800 PRO ATLANTIS 128MB DDR AGP8X TVO/DVI (Lite Retail)) for $208 off allstarshop.com. I hope they're reliable but if not, they're an hour away :D.
Well, do you know where I can read more about the custom smartshaders? I really just want DV for Counter Strike right now ;) but other games are great with just AA/AF.
Would getting a refurbished card from NewEgg be safe because I can get a 9700 Pro or 9800 Pro for pretty cheap :). I also found this http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/radeon/radeon-2.shtml (Bump Mapping) which is suppose to be the closest thing that ATI can get to having digital vibrance. Has...
If I got the 5900XT I would be OCing it but if I got the 9700 Pro how well would that overclock IF I was to ;). I'm still trying to figure out if I should just get an ATI, because of how well they handle higher AA/AF settings and that should rule out my digital vibrance settings.
I'm so lost right now on which card to choose. When I think I'm definitely sold on one of them, I read another review and get completely different results. I'm only looking to spend under $200 before shipping/tax. The GIGABYTE 5900XT shows that it now comes with Call Of Duty, Raven Shield...
Recently, my computer has been having problems starting up after I have shut it down for a few hours. The computer will load the Phoenix AwardBIOS screen and shows the computer quick-self test, then it'll restart and do it over again. Sometimes it won't restart again and it just stays at a black...
