Baldur's Gate II & 3D Acceleration

BladeRunner

Went out and purchased Baldur's Gate II - Throne of Bhaal today, so I thought I would get the game re-installed. All installed, go through the configuration program with the default settings, all is fine, the test screen gives me the 3 coloured boxes showing all is well.

I didn't read more than the 1st few lines of that article, but unless I'm mistaken ths gist of it is that wireless networking isn't as secure as ppl think it is with the default settings, & to use it safely/securely there's a whole bunch of precautions & measures to take, yes?

Geforce4 partially working in XP but fully in ME

geordie

I've recently bought an MSI Geforce4 440 MX & installed it on a partitioned system with XP Pro & ME & have problems running games on XP. Unreal Tournament is the only 3D game that will run under XP, all games work great under Windows ME.

This looks pretty cool, and you can get it here: There is a manual for it, and they have support forums at already that can help out. It looks just like Visual Studio. NET, just stripped down for ASP/ASP.

Go onto your desktop and right click on IE Explorer. On the menu that comes up click properties. On the screen that comes up there is a button that says clear history. Click that and that will clear your history on everything including the websites that you have visited recently.

Add OS's that the App/Hardware/Game supports? Don't know if this should be user submitted. Too easy to make a mistake. . . but would definetly make things easier. .
