Thanks for the info Neo... despite me hating computers at times (usually only when they aren't working properly) I really dig learning about them. Thanks fo the info about Safe Mode and the inner workings of some of these issues... much appreciated!!! Anyway, I did the long format and no errors were...

That actually worked KD. The sucky thing is the only other XP disc I have is a cracked version and it has some lame keygen... so hopefully I can find a good SN to at least install XP... I did actually get to the recovery section on the disc, but no dice. I formatted the drive and am re-installing Bl...

I tried to get there Baron, but booting with the disc setup gives a "vga.sys is corrupted" error so I can't even get to the setup menu from the install disc, nor can I boot using safe mode with command prompt. Why can't anything be easy???? ARRRGH!!!

Dammit no dice, all memory checks are fine. I ran it through 6 passes and everything was fine. One thing I did while in safe mode was to unselect restart system on failure or whater that is... and the point of failure during the splash screen was a 0x0000007E error. So I researched this a bit and ba...

I will be doing this tomorrow (or tonight if I can!)... man I'm hoping that's it... with the behaviors that Mav is (errr... was) reporting it just has to be. I'll report back as soon as I find out! But I guess my question would be why does safe mode boot up fine everytime I go into it if a RAM stick...

Weird Mav, my Home Theater PC is doing the same exact thing. I can boot into safe mode okay, but when I try to go into regular ol' WinXP SP2 it gets to the windows splash screen and reboots over and over again. I thought it might be my video card or motherboard so I actually bought a new Foxconn $50...

I'm tempted at times to try and figure out how to reload Quake with the GLQuake and see how many frames per second I get on my PC... I think it would be hilarious seeing 10,000FPS (joke) remembering the performance on my first Monster3D card... ahhh memories... I still think Q1 had one of the best s...

Freshly installed on the lappy!!! My user name is Cowl and then our clan tag [CotC]... muhahahaha no bastages stole my name. I will probably mess around with the controls as the laptop keyboard is obviously different than a full keyboard and I usually configure and use the numeric keypad for gaming....

Anyone have any news on the voice component of the game? Kinda weird if it doesn't support that... but I guess we could set up teamspeak or whatever...

So you have to pre-order it from where to reserve your tag? I need Cowl :twisted:

Or will it work if some tool takes Cowl and I use Cowl [CotC] with the clan tags?

Thanks for the info!
