n0kn0k Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Same here, the worst 200 euro I ever spend :/ I already knew it was just a 64 version of XP with some gadgets, but i was hoping for some better memory management and stuff like that, but sadly it's even worse. The harddisk is trashing all the time, and the ram usage is like 1100mb out of the box. I finally got it down to 600mb after some major tweaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributar Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 You Guy's should report your finding's to Microsoft so that this new product of theirs will benefit us Gamer's instead of cheating our need's!. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Cater Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 n0kn0k, have you tried an update to the video card driver if one was available? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0kn0k Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 I was running the latest driver, and recently updated to an even newer beta one. Still the same problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 And this is why I am not getting Vista with my new computer. I'm gonna have to fight the techno geeks tooth and nail to NOT have it on my computer. Noknok: Work around solution: send the campaign files to someone who can set the HQs into place for you. Then have them send it back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0kn0k Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Yeh that's np, i've got 2 more PC's here. So i'll prolly end up finishing the HQ's on those two. I'd just rather work on my normal setup though. Just check the link, you'll understand why http://www.n0kn0k.nl/sc2/sc2screen.jpg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 HOLY ****! I'm sure the screen is MUCH clearer than what we see in the SShot but DAMN! I can only imagine gaming FPShooters with that screen. And whenever this baby is ready for testing, send it my way... I guarantee I'll sniff out a few glitches, for the good of the mod of course . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n0kn0k Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hehe yeh the contrast is much better normally, but i had the cameraflash on at that time It's a 8 feet / 240cm or so screen with a 1280x720(p) projector on the ceiling. Gonna get myself a full HD 1920x1080 one as soon as those are a bit more affordable. It's a very good alternative for a normal TV screen also. The "smaller" screens are a 30" 2560x1600 widescreen Dell LCD and a 22" 2048x1536 Ilyama CRT. The equipment kinda comes with the studies and job that i do. Working part-time in a DVD rental store, so i love to watch movies on that big screen The other screens come in handy when doing stuff for school. I'm currently working on my second degree, which is in 3D animation / game design. Much more fun then the previous one in Business and Information Technology. Need to set some time aside for the mod though. Been pretty busy lately. I've also got another little project running. Alot less work though. Working on that one during my work time http://www.explorecrete.com/preveli/battle-of-crete.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributar Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 n0kn0k!: A well designed 'Battle for Krete' MOD would be feather in the cap for anyone who would dare to try to really take it on and make it deliver!. Request bitmaps from 'Normal Dude' and other's to fill out your unit requirement's!. Also, put in a request at this discussion topic for what you need!. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0kn0k Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hehe the most essential thing is time I could prolly get away with using standard bitmaps from the African campaign. Those look really nice also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I HATE WINDOWS VISTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just bought a brand new wide screen supder duper wide screen laptop. I wanted Windows XP, but Microsoft has demanded that every store I've gone to yank their XPs off the shelves and sell only Vista. So I got Vista, no choice in the matter. I got home and managed to install Microsoft Office before the computer crashed and will not restart. What a piece of $&%$^%#^%##^##$^!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Sounds more like a hardware issue. If it won't restart at all, it does not even touch the OS when it starts up, the bios and hardware THEN it is the OS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Actually I fixed it, turns out it was McAfee! A patch fixed her right up. Now I have more bugs to fix LOL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Ah, so you did managed to get just before you see the OS loading, since your AV loads first, if it is out of whack you will have problems. Well, enough of hogging this fine thread about a fantastic mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
