Computer Jargon

the main problem i have been having is with service pack 2,

the first time it froze during update and screwed the whole system up

then once i had reinstalled windows and put on the service pack 2 it wouldn't allow me on the internet i couldn't turn the microsoft security centre off! even when the option setting were on OFF they were still active and wouldn't allow a connection

I've never installed the sp2 service pack afterwards.

Have you thought about creating an sp2 slipstream? i.e recreate the windows xp disk with with the sp2 on it so it installs from the word go with sp2?

Good ol' Billy Gates.

hmm will have to look into that, may have to wait to finish the batch of work i'm doing as i have already lost a fair bit of time and don't want to screw around with the pc any more than i need to

[Fishpaste~]

have you used g-spot to find out what codec the video is using?

installed the k-like codec pack?

how have you been updating to SP2? i have official M$ SP2 update discs at work, drop by, ask for fishpaste and i'll help you out

i hope your not using sp1 computers on the internet, if you are dont do any internet bnking, credit card purcheses, or anything else you dont want comprimised. SP1 has massive secuity holes in it now that they just wont fix and your computer will get owned (even with a firewall).

hope this helps

lol how did you aquire your nick name? Quite interesting your work mates know you by it.

got a sp2 disc from the local pc store (genuine) i don't do any purchases or credit card transactions online when i'm at home i only do it if i'm at work with the good security setup

just can't figure out why it won't allow me to turn off all of the Microsoft Firewall and antivirus stuff. Its not allowing any connection

ok, this has been really pissing me off, i have had to reformat (4th time in 3 weeks) :rant:

i have been trying to run a few videos and my media player won't locate the codec needed to run .WMV files:( it locates it and will only play the audio off of it. Is there anyway to install codecs manually and where can i find them? i have googled it and haven't come up with much.

lol sorry for the nooby question, but this is pissing me off and i can't figure it out

PS I F*&^ING HATE WINDOWS

i use this codec pack hadnt had any problems to date cant garantee no problems for others though we all know how random computers can be

you may need to re register some system files as WMV is the windows standard format in windows media player, if you dont use windows media player you may have trouble playing those files.

there is a ton of codec packs out there, just do a little google search and you should find a codec pack which guarantees you wont have to download another codec again.

lol how did you aquire your nick name? Quite interesting your work mates know you by it.

ahhh, i'll tell you about it next time were out on a cruise about how i got my nick =)

as for my work mates using my nick... well, i work for a computer store, we game against each other on almost a daily basis, half the time we just call each other by our nicks coz that what were used to (as i met my employer threw lanning/gaming) and we've entered heaps of tournaments together (like the $20,000 big pond game arena BF2 comp - where we made top 16, and lost to the eventual winners), so yeah, being called fishpaste or fish is the norm for me and i wouldnt have it any other way =)

oh, and if you see anyone with the [AdR] clan tag, frag em for me =)

and worst case scenario for all the firewall/security bs is you can go into the services section in control pannel -> administrative tools and dissable it from there

The only codecs I've found I ever need are xvid/divx and ffdshow. Haven't had any issues running any formats and I download a lot of movies/tv shows. I use media player classic and vlc player for some files that have issues skipping into them.

In the latest firmware update for PS3 they have included rumble support.

Stupid stubbon sony, they should of settled with imersion tech years ago.

Now they are going to have to redo their controller with rumble.

[Madaz]

rumble sux sometimes

[kralster]

i can't imagine games like metal gear solid without it, it adds to the games immersion brilliantly sometimes.
