Friar

I have a laptop which I have completely locked myself out of and need help...here is what I did.... I wanted to boot into Ubuntu to test the wireless card and connections.... Went into BIOS and attempted to set to boot from usb but could'nt as needed password Removed CMOS battery to try and reset When power back on wants password to access data.......result One Friar sailing in a boat up a foul smelling creek with no method of propulsion... Is there ANYTHING i can do to unlock the machine? Friar

he was on ts last night, knackered but safe and sound

All the best from the Priory

@Pook

answer from shades: "Mod mismatch between players."

Welcome back JP. Now all we need is to poke Doubletap and Psycho...... Salute my friend....

haven't tried since it happened. Will hopefully try tonight

I did the upgrade the other night. Just ran the updater. It went really easy with no problems. Looking forward to using the triggers to make co-ops interesting.... Hopefully will get some stick time this evening (sunday 23rd)

me neither. been using it for ages.

thanks FT, I'll may check for the latest Nvidia drivers and leave every thing else along. Many thanks

Never had this before.......game totally crashed.

ROFL!

...and girls... Good luck fingers crossed.

Hi Dave, If you still need help I can assist via my daughter who knows about such things. She will be hope from college around 1:00pm so could help you out on Teamspeak this afternoon if that is any good Regards Friar

I am not getting those I'm afraid Snacko

I am currently reading "The Hardest Day" by Alfred Price and finding it a very good read. For those not aware of this book (and I would recommend it if you are not, this is from someone who is not widely read) it recounts the events of August 18th 1940 when the Luftwaffe attempted to hit the RAF hard. The book learns heavily on eye witness accounts and amazingly even has an account from someone living in my road at the time. These stories are meaning that much more to me as Kenley, Biggin Hill and Croydon are all within a very short distance of where I live. The reason for my post is a comment made by an injured Hurricane pilot who had taken damage to his foot and whilst explaining his predicament states ".....it did not matter too much as you tend not to use the rudder much in a Hurricane..." This got me thinking.....Am I using the rudder too much in this plane and what would be the reason for his comments, to stop bleeding speed? To anyone who knows about such things, I would be interested to read your thoughts.... Salute Friar

It is with great pleasure that we have renamed this forum in appreciation of the consistent support of the forum and the generally good content provided by Capt Jack. We salute you Sir!. P.S Anyone can still post here by the way

LOl! Nage the word you were looking for is "warming", the word you used "worming" is the action of removing a small parasite that can live in guts of animals and humans.

There are other games? I had not noticed......

Hi Having launched game from Steam it just took over Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tried to recover the back up but no good All I did was try the function key change I will have to start again but at least I have better knowledge this time

Help! I am doing no different from what I did yesterday but this is what I get when I load my profile

I am keeping your profile and buttons just putting my assignments to them. I have made the mistake of thinking that the function buttons needed to go in {} i.e {F9} but I see they dont so that will probably have been the issue. Regards Friar

@Snacko - I have having trouble setting my engine start to F9 and engine selection on F5 through F8, can you advice on the format of the command please to utilize the function keys? At the moment I am just using it on a second monitor with the mouse but I think it makes a great button bay! Salute Sir Regards Friar
