  1. Painless, you are to be congratulated as being one of lifes optimists. Some may have said a mug of hot chocolate half EMPTY! The Priory does not believe in handing out punishments, some of the Brothers are more likly to be on the receiving end
  2. to get the programs click on.... My Computer, then double click on Local Disk (C:), then double click on Program Files, then double click on OpenOffice.org (mine says 2.0), then double click on Program within this folder are all the programs you need.. database = sbase.exe excel clone = scalc.exe word clone = swriter.exe powerpoint = simpress.exe there are a few others as well sdraw.exe which i think is a bit like corel draw smath.exe lets you write and work out math formula soffice.exe is a front end program for starting all of the above quickstart.exe puts a launch icon in the system tool bar on the lower right of your screen (by the clock) I would create shortcuts rather than the quickstart as it will sit in memory. You will notice that the programs load a little slower than word etc because of he way it has been developed. they cant use the tricks that microsoft use to run their applications. I have found them to be very similar in look and feel to the microsoft originals, even as far as some of the tool icons are the same! There is a big on line community for this product, so it you get stuck, I'll try and help, or try googleing it. Cheers
  3. if you cant re-install microshaft word, then have a look at openoffice.org if you dont know what it is, its an "office like" package that offers software very much like word, excel, powerpoint plus a couple of others. its all free. it has been developed by the internet community. it will open and read .doc files it will also save to them as well. google openoffice.org and it should give you the link. if you do know what it is, my appoligies.
  4. it depends on which translation you are using. I prefer to use the one done by the eminent accademic Benjemim D'over in the late 17th Century. I feel that it stays faithful to the original text. It is true that other scholers would disagree with this opinion and say that the earlier work done by the Inuits was of more value. That they had more of an understanding of what the original author, whos name has now long since been lost in with the passage of time, was trying to convey when he, or dare I say She, wrote the text. That also raises another issue which I feel that would need many more pages to discuss, unless of course you belive the writings of Cornboil III in 96AD, but I dont have to tell you about them!
  5. Ah, it is a sign I tell you, from the Great Book of the Priory, Chapter 5, Paragrapgh 3, Verse 2 "...And on the day of enlightenment, from the sky, the Great Bear shall appear above The house of the Rightious, and thus, hence from that day forward wonderous things shall begat all those that habit there."
  6. hi enforcer, there are no new objects in the latest patch, its mainly fixes to dials and stuff. as to the new objects that were added in 4.07, i have just uploaded into the resources section of the website a zip file compiled by RXMAN I found in the ubizoo. It extracts to a .doc file with a picture and the number for each object. it is the complete list, not just the new ones. Hope you get it ok, any problems let me know.
  7. Excellent post DT LOL. there are definatly a few i need to mantra more often...
  8. i do remember pow2 and discounted it, although it is a brilliant movie, and the stunt flying by the two zero pilots is of the highest order (cough, cough
  9. @Painless the way i did it was from a tip in the ubizoo. it enables me to use the french switcher but i go from 4.05 to 4.071 I originally installed 1946 into its own, new folder and not on top of 4.05 1. I downloaded the patch. 2. created an empty folder on my desktop 3. unziped the patch into that folder 4. there will be one called files.sfs
  10. Oh yes forgot about that one, I have it on my machine at home.
  11. Gentlemen, I am holding a talk in the Village Hall soon about IL2. Some of the non-flying villagers are curious about what goes on at the Airfield. I would like to show a movie to illustrait my talk. Would you please offer up some suggestions as to a good IL2 built movie that demonstraits all that is great about the world we fly in. I already have "Get It On", which is 109 v spit with the mark Bolan sound track. Can you guys suggest something better please. I also already have "Requiem". Does that say it all? What do you think?
  12. Following a rather disturbing incident with Sister Agneta, 2 Choir boys and an unusualy shaped crucifix (well thats what she it was) lines "upstairs" are engaged at the moment. Anyway, as far as computers are concerned, I consider Bbloke and B16ENK more than just mere mortals.
  13. ok, thanks for the pointers guys.
  14. UPDATE i left it running over night and it failed at 25% with the message "the drive has 1 or more un-recoverable errors" bootcfg /rebuild also failed to start because of a similar error.
  15. UPDATE it has now clicked over to 2% so it is oing something. i am going to leave it running overnight and see what happens in the morning.
  16. Guys, I am trying to recover from the error "hal.dll is either missing or corrupt". this prevents the laptop from booting. after doing some reasearch on the net i have been able to get into the recovery console. a common piece of advice was run chkdsk / r. i have tried this but it has been stuck on 1% fo hours now, something is obviously not working. should i / can i switch off or should i leave it. any advice / pointers please?
  17. Well Psycho, Is'nt that just typical. I arrange for one of the Sisters Of Virtue to be assigned to your case, and all of a sudden all I get is "Can I have one", "me, me, please Frior", "Oh pleeeeeeese Frior, get me one" like a lot of school kids in class, all with their hand in the air when the hot young art teacher, who is fresh out of teacher training college and wears tight tops and short skirts asks for volunteers to come into the store cupboard to help sort the materials out. They all know that some of the paper is down on the bottom shelf and some is on that high shelf which is just out of her normal reach. To go into the cupboard that they all know is not quite wide enough for two people to pass each other with out squeezeing up against each other. But ask for volenteers to attend the Parish Hall for a rock-cake tasting competition, (one which Mrs Thonlinson always enters) and all I get is "ghosttownvile", silence, except for the wind whistling through the cracks in the Mess Hall windows and the sound of a lone Crow calling from a single tree.

    interesting that you choose a model with twin airbags.....
  19. many thanks for that roger, i'll have a look into hostgator, the price seems what i am looking for
  20. Hi, I am looking for a site to host a website that i have put together for the clinic where my wife works. it is currently being hosted in my isp space that comes with
  21. no don't do that roger, your squadron needs you
  22. Roger, at the risk of being incharge of an educational program focused on my mothers mother, the poultry industry and the physics of air compression as a force for pulling......... my 46 IS in its own folder. within that the triple switcher created 3 folders, one for each version. i have an icon on my desktop for each version. i click on that. it runs a batch file. i then launch the game from a desktop icon that points to the .exe within the 46 folder. the required version launches.
  23. ok, own up, who actually clicked on the link to see if it existed?......
  24. i have the 46 installed into its own new folder. i also have the french triple switcher installed. what i would like is some clear instructions on how to apply the beta batch and still have the switching options. i believe that quazi has done something but i am not sure if that applies to a 46 install on top of 4.05? perhaps someone could put together a consise upgrade/install map?
