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 :bunny: 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

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

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) :P:D:rant: :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 :bunny:

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

Gordian Knot Codecs

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.

    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.

    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
