    Opera 9.5 is out...

    Works fine here. Tried with clean install? Sometimes Opera can get bit weird if you install it on top of older versions many times.

    IE7 in Vista - New window for each zone?

    Protected Mode is a sandbox for IE. It limits certain things like where IE can write/read etc. More info at http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/02/09/528963.aspx

    Zalman ZM-STG1. It is just weird that on the other hand my idle temps are much lower, around 30 celsius while before they were 36 celsius.

    CPU thermal pastes

    Hi all I read somewhere that the temps of a cpu drop few celsius after around 7-8 days after thermal grease is applied. Is this true? I'm just wondering because I switched my cpu to a new mb and the load temps seems around 4-6 celsius higher than before. ( from 42 -> 48 celsius with...

    Windows 7, anyone...?

    Well if we take how it looks like then Windows 7 is gonna be almost excatly like Vista :roll: M1 is premilinary build of Windows 7 which, suprise suprise (..not), is being built on the vista codebase so everything we see should be held as a placeholders. We will know for certain what kernel...

    Faster internet with Vista?

    If it is within the limits of your internet speed then yeah, it is possible seeing that vista has a new tc/ip stack that ms claims to improve network performance. Though personally haven't seen any improvements except for a lower ping in online games. Of course, if it is going faster than...

    XP defragger for Vista?

    It is quite likely heavily based on the Diskeeper version but all the improvements that are added to it are now done by MS themselves.

    Opera 9

    The file is WAND.DAT and it is in the Opera AppData-folder if you installed Opera with multiple user support(Vista "USER"\AppData\Roaming\Opera\profile, XP Documents and Settings\"USER"\Application Data\Opera\profile), otherwise in the folder where you installed it. You can just copy it around...

    InstallShield Wizard doesn't work properly

    InstallShield Wizard doesn't allow patching any of my games because it doesn't see that they are installed. It just tells me that I don't have the game installed and that I need to install it. Is there anyway to fix this? It wouldn't be nice not to be able to patch my games :( (Tried patching...

    Start drinking...

    Err...I so did not want to see that list. It is little scary to notice that I drank so much beer in 4 days that only 20 coutries beat me by their average...and they had whole year to do so :Q

    When is Vista SP1 coming??

    Original rumor before Vista launch was that SP1 would come when Windows Server 2008 would ship and it would update the kernel so that both would have the same kernel (6.0 -> 6.1). Atm there is no info if this still is true

    Gothic 4

    It was never official that there would be an expansion, only rumours and seeing that PB doesn't have cash or apparently the rights to develop the anything related to Gothic, if JoWood is correct about who owns the rights, I don't think we will see any expansion pack for G3 ever.

    Gothic 4

    There is just one problem that Piranha Bytes claims that they still own rights to Gothic which JoWood has denied and claimed that they own the rights now. I'm betting that there is going to be a lawsuit from PB against JoWood within a month if they try to make G4 and seeing that PB is apparently...

    I have a Vista ISO from MSDNAA. Can I boot it from a hard drive?

    Just mount it in Daemon Tools and it should offer you the option to install it. It should work for it worked during the beta when I tried.

    Vista audio problems [SOLVED]

    As you can see from the summary, everytime I start the computer my AD1986A SoundMax drivers inform me that the audio configuration has changed and that I need to reinstall the drivers. This is probably due to the fact that the drivers are in beta but anyone have any clue on how to stop it doing...

    WOW is fine, though DEP might cause it to crash as it did with my Vista HP 64-bit. Just need to add it to the exception list.

    Windows Vienna in 2009

    Nope, Windows 7 (formerly Vienna) is totally new OS. SP1 is Fiji and SP2 codename is still unknown. WinFS is scrapped, never going to appear as it was originally planned. Some parts of the tech will appear in some form, for example in SQL Server.

    Comodo Free 1/21 autoupdate - updated to Comodo Firewall Pro????

    Just a naming change, they didn't want their firewall compared to the free version of ZoneAlarm when it should be compared to the full version of it.

    NeverWinter Nights 2 installs some insane DRM on your PC!

    IIRC the SecuROM 7.x/rootkit will be installed only if you patch nwn2. The store version (1.0) has no SecuROM 7.x/rootkit. EDIT: Yep, checked it and no SecuROM 7.x/rootkit for me. Thank god I didn't have the time to apply the patches yet :thumbsup:

    7600 GS vs. x1600 Pro

    Depends on what you think it is a pipe. For me pipe is the number of ROPs because that's tells what it is capable of outputting to the screen and thus the 7600 is a 8 pipe design for me.
  34. D

    7600 GS vs. x1600 Pro

    The 7600 is 8 "pipe" card, not 12.

    7600 GS vs. x1600 Pro

    Nope. They can process internally 12 pixels / clock but they can't output 12 pixels / clock due to the fact that they don't have 12 ROPs but only 4(x1600) and 8(7600). Either Rendering Output Unit or Raster Operations Pipeline. Which ever you like to call it Wikipedia Article
  36. D

    7600 GS vs. x1600 Pro

    X1600 can only output 4 pixels / clock because it has only 4 ROPs while the 7600GS can output 8 pixels / clock. Also the X1600 only has 4 texture units while 7600GS has 8 or 12, can't remember exactly what it was. I'd say 7600GS is the better one

    Bad RAM because of motherboard?

    So I've had some memory problems with my comp. I've got 4 bad sticks of RAM in less than month. This makes me think there is something else wrong with my computer which results in bad RAM. My main suspect is the A8V-E Deluxe motherboard I have. Can it be the reason for my bad RAM sticks?
