Thanks B! ("Improved field of reception" might be the one interesting thing for me, as in the past 5 years using the 3Pro, I've only had to disconnect/reconnect it maybe three times...and.... mostly due to my Guillemot stick I'm still on XP)

Could you tell us a bit more Brando? In what way is it better? I'm using a 3 Pro, and perfectly happy with it. (Only need to center once when starting the game) (Oh wait, I think I get it, I'm only using the 2DOF.... not the 6DOF that it's capable of, as I have the Vector expansion) (Sorry for the hijack!)

Happy Birthday!

(Effin' mods)

Happy Birthday !!

That grass looks photoshopped!! A Virtual lawn! Brilliant!

Happy birthday guys!

Mayhem, this setting occurs twice in conf.ini, once in [Render_DirectX] and once in [Render_OpenGL] You sure you got the correct one? (Better change 'm both...)

Lovely, thank you Nick...! (Now very tempted to replace the Hind pic on my Desktop - but won't ... not yet...)

Do you know how to recognize them bad caps? I mean, have you seen 'm before? Sometimes damage to those is not that clearly visible... can you take pictures from close up to them?

+1 And when in doubt, take some pictures of the capacitors, and post 'm here... Also, what happens when you try and boot it without any memory modules, and without graphics card. Does is perform differently then?

Great pics, they remind me of the fact I still have a reasonable amount of videotape to go through...

Take a video camera with you!

Glad you got it fixed!

Of interest to everyone? Could be, but there's a small issue with that: "GoGamer does not ship to International Destinations at this time." Oh well...

I know how that feels... Great pics, too bad I missed that...

Pooka, me thinks there'll be no need for you to check the settings once the new router has arrived: both your pc's are on automatic settings, they will both ask the router for an IP address, and the router will assign both of 'm a unique address. No need to check, no need to change! At Snacko: Yes, you're right. But your idea to bypass the router would not work, as Pooka said. The things we looked at we're the only things we could try... for now...

Hm, I now recall a similar issue, not with a router, but with a switch. (Basically, a router is a switch with some added functionality, like a firewall...) The switch had a bad capacitor, which only failed if more than one computer was connected to it. With just one computer connected to it, it would do fine. I replaced the capacitor, and all was good... So, in the end, yes, the router is the main suspect here...

Gec, there is sufficient info I think, it's in the middle of this post: Host Name : Shiloh Primary DNS Suffix : Node Type :Unknown IP Routing Enabled :No WINS Proxy :No DNS Suffix Search List :Myhome.Westell.com Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection 6 Media State :Media disconnected Description TREADnet, TEG-PCITXR 32 bit 10/100/1000 PCI Adapter Physical Address : 00-14-D1-1A-52-B6 Dhcp Enabled :Yes Auto Config Engage :Yes IP Address :0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask :0.0.0.0 Default Gateway : DHCP Server :192.168.1.1 DNS Server :192.168.1.1 Lease Obtained :Sunday 7-25-2010 12:57pm Lease Expires :Monday 7-26-2010 12:57pm But I don't really understand what's wrong here. Yet. Pooka, can you run TS on the working computer?

(Ah, I get it Gec, you think both computers use the same IP address. I kinda overlooked that ... good thinkin' ...)

This is very weird. You've already changed all the components that could be faulty.. The only things I can think of now are: 1. Power related: - The power supply is on its way out, it could be spiking, and thus messing up the signals on the network cable - The power outlet to your computer is at fault? Is it connected to the same outlet the Windows 7 computer is connected to? 2. Malware? Weird!

Brilliant stuff Jabo, I've yet again had to change my Desktop background... the Hind is there now... Feel free m8!!!

No worries, just make sure your mike is open, so we can all enjoy that ... Welcome!
