yes it is the only drive...it is SATA (if I recall correctly).... off to work shortly, gonna have to look at this Monday. Thanks

Ok....gonna mess with this HDD for a bit now and see what those utilites can say about it......... On a side note:

thanks for the advice guys.... I've got it all backed up (well mostly backed up....it would fail, then freeze during the backup whenever it encountered those "bad" areas.

Thanks . I will back up what I need today.

actually sorting it that way is deceiving...... I've left it sorted by date and time.... There are many disk warnings previous to today (usually to do with page file stuff) but no actual errors regarding the HDD until noon today.....then a bunch today...LOL Ive attached another file sorted this way b16look2.txt

thanks for the replies....... The chkdsk hung again at the exact same spot (58%) even after leaving it for 1.5 hours. b16look.txt

Ummm. just how long would you say to wait for the chkdsk?......... It started the check(step 1 of 5)....it found an unreadable sector.........proceeded to delete some "orphaned" files......moved on to step 2 of 5........fixed a bunch of files.........found another unreadable section, reached 58% of that step then "hung"......(or maybe not, just exactly how long should it take me to grind some beans, brew it and then wait some more?) I bailed......re-booted......should I try it again but wait a really long time this go around?

I got a weird scenario here......... Was surfing a bit this morning (firefox) and downloading a tv show using ABC (torrent app).........no problems. A friend came over and accessed a vpn site to check some work files....still no problem. I watched a downloaded .avi file (while still dl'ing using abc), finished watching and closed windows media viewer. Friend came back to use pc...when he turned monitor on the mouse was frozen, nothing we could do would unfreeze it. Hard re-boot.......... tried to launch Firefox.........froze......hard reboot Ditto ditto tried ABC again.......same....freeze. hard reboot...... So, I backed up photos to an external drive Tried Adaware...while it was scanning I tried to open windows explorer (just to look at some files and consider what to get rid of in order to make up some disk space)...but it froze before opening...arrrgh. another hard re-boot Then I ran: Malware-bytes anti malware....nothing spybot...nothing AVG anti virus....nothing Ad-Aware...found 5 items (3 cookies and 2 warnings about not having windows update turned on....so really...Nothing) I thought maybe overheat....but everything appears to be ok. So now I'm thinking maybe some bad RAM (HOW CAN I CHECK THIS?0

Ummmm, yeah......about 20-25 bucks will get you a new one.

nevermind it wont run the 64 bit application so it must be the 32 bit version i have to use. ACPI temp

i am using an AMD athlon 64 3700+ cpu but using winXP 32 bit.

I believe they gotta be RGB indexed colors and 8 bit (IIRC).......but dont take my word for it....wait until guys like Rico and some of the other skinners poke thier heads in here

only one "gal" around here......name is Painless ummmm, again............Painless is your guy (erm, I mean "gal")

And to add.......that photo has made its way around the internet for a number of years now....(ive even seen one version of it where the "bikini" has been photoshopped off of her...........

I agree joycontrol is the way to go. My setup is/was Waaaaaaay more sensitive than those kling uses.

I have also been struggling with pitch and roll setting for my MSFFB2 stick....I found it to be too sensitive during high-g dogfight manouvers .(that is why I kept losing to Rattler-----my story and I'm sticking to it....LOL) I'm gonna try those pitch setting (or a close facsimile). where did you find them and what does he use for roll? I'm gonna modify them a bit anyway, cause I dont want to have to adjust those settings for each a/c I fly and just need a good compromise that will work for most planes. ~S~ Fireman

Is he old enough to get served at the liqour store?!?!?

doesn't matter what your settings are at.......I believe you take on the settings of the server you join. (maybe I'm wrong....but otherwise I'm taking unlimited ammo from now on....heehee)

yeah but he cheats........he logs in from work and lurks there all day.............

what Friar said.....if your voice activated is working and not causing any grief why worry about changing it m8?

looks more like a modified tie fighter from star wars

565.1 for me, with nothing shut off or tweaked.
