Reply to First virus in years... in Personal Computing Demigod Forums

[quote who="Kingpest" reply="18" id="2336192"]Good for you-- as far as the game saves go though, can't you point your My docs folder to the other partition as well? I believe the games are saved within the my docs folder and if that entire directory points to the other partition (or drive) the the next time this happens, your saved games will be, well, saved as well.[/quote] Yep that should work too. Some programs still mess up when they hard code to your c:\ drive but to be honest those

Reply to First virus in years... in Personal Computing Demigod Forums

Yes actually MS' idea is a good one, as crashmatusow said installed data normally doesn't change, and if it does it could indicate malware. Also, having multiple users on the same PC doesn't make saving user specific files in the data folder a pretty solution. Hence they opt for everyone storing their files in the profile folder, which is a decent solution if you ask me, Linux does it the same way (sorta). The problem is that above method does not take partitions into consideration. I

Reply to Article on why the Vista era never happened in Personal Computing Demigod Forums

Nope they are not. To be fair I don't understand all the Vista trash talking happening today. Yes, the launch was a mess, I'd say 75% external from companies that refused to make some decent drivers, and 25% MS' problem with some silly bugs. It wasn't much fun, but also not that big of a deal. I have started to use Vista regularly after SP1 came out, and I have to say that it is a pretty solid system. It may not be the fastest OS out there but it does its job well enough. So I re

I still wonder how the upgrade process works though. I don't have an XP install on my PC at the moment (it's W7 RC) but I do have an XP license code. Then again I might wanna use that license on another hand-me-down PC for my girlfriend.

RTM simply means the code is 'final' enough to press the DVDs of it/build images of it and ship it stores and OEMs. An OEM version basically means that Microsoft sells it to a manufacturer who in turn can put it on a

LOL no. I have a happy relationship but/so I'd never dare tell a woman that she's now my girlfriend.

You wouldn't believe the stuff we got in private chat. It was funny for us and we even got a guy to send naked pics of him (ewwww) which made us laugh non-stop for about

Forgive me for highjacking this thread for a second :) [quote who="Zoomba" reply="23" id="2332899"]Basically, you can never be too prepared. Having a solid skill set is of course the most important thing. But if it comes down to two candidates who are equal in skill, who do you think stands the better chance? The one who has first-hand knowledge of our products, or the one who just read the web sites and a few reviews? [/quote] Ofcourse, that goes without s

[quote who="Lead Farmer" reply="9" id="2332845"]So it means people joining in to fill in the other group, the chances are will be people who are not as good. Sometimes I notice that a host with good record hosts a game (he may advertise pro only, but not always the case). Usually the host will make an effort (obviously they want to keep their good record) to get good players on their team. They will ask the bad player to move down, or kick him. But they usually don't m

Well he has some strange views on the hitting girls stuff - some people have anger issues in general - but I mostly agree with him. The reason gays, women, black people, etc 'need' the rights they fight for is because they have been oppressed into shame of their own kind, which is ofcourse very wrong. No person should have to defend his own person (except criminals ofcourse, but that's a whole other matter). But I do not like the world in which everything is racist or not racist, sexi

[quote who="U1tralisk" reply="24" id="2332746"]One thing I've noticed about 7 is that if you let it try to install drivers for you, it will install older ones over what youve got [/quote] Windows Update doesn't have all the 0day drivers ofcourse. If you install newer ones yourself you shouldn't let WU install them again for you. Drivers are recommended, but not critical updates, you you can chose to install or not install them.
