My New Wireless setup GPRS/EDGE

Four and Twenty

Haven't been around here for a while but I thought i would drop in to talk about my new toy. I bought a Sony Ericsson GC-83 card off of ebay for $150 and go an unlimited data plan from ny local wireless provider (Unicel) and now I have internet on my laptop every where that there is GSM cell service.

Rhem install

judy3037

I'm still unable to install Rhem on XP due to a screen that says I don't have enough space on the selected disk - presumably my hard drive. I just defragged, which I do regularly, and I definitely have much more space than this game requires.

Hidden and dangerous

Jagger1984

Hi! I have hidden & dangerous (the first one), but I cannot play it. There´s too little info about this game in the data base. Can anyone help me? When I run the game, it goes too slow. when I use a compatibility mode, the textures are corrupted, but the game speed is normal.
