Re: Computer Troubles
WTF? This is unecessary overkill! The OP is obviously NOT a computer genius and you are advising him to try to backup, reinstall windows, try to config drivers, and repartition his drive. None of these things (other than reinstalling windows) would help his cursor reappear! Big recipe for disaster! DO NOT DO THIS! If you don't believe me, ask Orange Dragon. He knows his shit.juansweetpotato wrote:Have you tried backing the whole hard drive up and reinstalling Windows and the game on it's own without any other programs installed? It seems strange that you would need to buy a new graphic card. sounds more like a driver conflict to me.
Backing up, cleaning the hard drive and reinstalling is probably the easiest thing to try without greater knowledge.
If your hard drive is big enough, you could also re partition it into 2 bootable drives using Partition Magic http://partition-magic.soft32.com/ and install another version of windows on it then the game. You won't lose any data you have already as it re partitions it on the fly. All easy to follow instructions included in the free program.
JSP: You should probably not give computer advice in the future. Stick to things which you are proficient, which are..........what? Helping destitute brits? Oh wait, Nick still is pretty fucked up in Cambodia. Hmm.
OP: you probably don't need a new graphics card. Try finding the mouse/pointer/cursor settings in your game and in windows and play with those. If you still can't figure it out, I would be happy to take a look at it at one of my favorite watering holes for the price of 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or .... $2 jugs of Angkor. PM me. I'll be back in the KOW on Friday.
PS: just a warning - Vlad might show up! He knows where I drink!
<-the resemblance is uncanny!

Re: Computer Troubles
You really know how to influence people and make friends, don't you?! I'm not assassinating your character...you do that very well yourself! Wow! There is one thing you are good at!juansweetpotato wrote:^weirdo. OD a bit of support on the comp front please, unless you are enjoying the attempted character assassination of course.
Ok. That was a personal jibe from me. I usually don't feed trolls, but you just make it so easy! At least I haven't called you a "twat" or "weirdo"!

Re: Computer Troubles

Re: Computer Troubles
Yes and No. Bottom line is I got everything I wanted to work. I used too know may way around a computer fairly well when I was younger, but now how rapid a change everything is I sorta gave up on what the newest thing is.
Thx!

Re: Computer Troubles
Even though the componentry does the same things in a laptop, the format can be very different to a PC. There's a new generation of personal computers around the corner that will make everything we currently know as a box-style workstation look like dinosaurs. We're starting to see it in micro-PCs and PC-on-a-stick technology, but it's about to get smaller and become embeddable - imagine a sheet of smart glass (actually, Gorillaglass made by Corning) with an almost transparent computer chip, including the graphic card, embedded right in the glass. Instant wall screen display computer, dimmable window, etc... and then make it wi-fi and Bluetooth enabled. Have you noticed the new "Cast to..." function on any new devices? Basically, you're watching a YouTube clip or Skyping a video call on your phone, and you can instantly "throw" the session to a nearby wall or window.The Add Jay wrote:Yes and No. Bottom line is I got everything I wanted to work.
