Ask the techies! / System Lockup Issue
« on: April 26, 2002, 11:30:29 AM »
I was going to post something along those lines, but You did a great job for me Spade.

The short of it...
Windows 2000 was built using the kernal and HAL from Windows NT 4.0.  They improved stability and MANY other things.  Yes, Unix is still a more stable OS, but then look at the differences in time and approaches.

Windows XP is built on the Win2K kernal and HAL. with a great many improvements to those items.  M$ has kept the backward compatible rule, thus making XP able to run MOST 2K drivers, but not all.  But this is also one of the greatest  causes for the general stability issues for M$ OSes.

Thus they are built on NT technology, but the XP server will be a different beast of it's own. Supposedly.

I am now contemplating the purchase of a VisionTek Xtasy 6964. Which is a GeForce3 Titanium Ti 500 64m AGP card.  That takes me from a generation2 card to a generation3 (yes, it's still one generation back, but it's not too expensive, and better than the geforce4 MX), moves me from SDR to DDR, and doubles my RAM.

I already did.

And actually it was great playing Multiplayer MOHAA, EXCEPT when  Dragon got a look at me with his RPG.  You BASTARD!:mad:  
Man, I hated that thing.

* Whoooosh BOOOM!*
Wha....Wha....What happened?
Yer dead, dude.
Dragon's Panzerfaust again?

1) The discussions of the teams would be best served in the Clan forums, let's take them there.

2) Let's all remember that there are younger people on the forums as well, and keep the more colorful comments to a minimum.  

We will have the forums rules up soon.  I am not trying to offend anyone, but we are trying to attract more people to the forums, and that may impact their decision to stay or go.  Not saying be squeaky clean, just be nice folks!

I think that I am the cause of this sudden change in Wolverine.  There are only two options as I see it...

1) beg forgiveness from wolverine.
2) wait long enough, and he will break down and start up again.

I don't know if I can handle much more of this, I may have to apologize! :o

I registered, but I am waiting for the verification email from Seether.

And as far as Alpha and Beta teams, we still need to sort that out.

You guys crack me up sometimes.

I will look into the listing order thing.  It may be that I have it set one way, but you can state the default you would like in your profile.

Ask the techies! / System Lockup Issue
« on: April 25, 2002, 01:33:10 PM »
I am experienceing a bunch of problems here guys, and need some input.

OS: Win2K Pro (sp2)
CPU: AMD TBird 1GHz
RAM: 512MB
Vid Card: Prophet II MX (GeForce2 MX)

Symptoms:  Prior to cleaning out the system, I would get lockups at anytime, after running a while, particularly in "heavy load" games like SS2, MOHAA, and JK2.  It would lockup when just sitting running Outlook as well though.

I blew the system out, cleaned all the fans and filters, and reseated all the cards, and the general lockup ended, but the "heavy load" stops and lockups continued.   But now I could recover from them by either hitting "Esc" or calling up the Task Manager then returning to the game.

I noticed two thing now though:
1) There are error messages in the System Log pertaining to the Ultra 100 Controller.  But not in a few days.
2) When I played JK2 last night, along with the standard graphics only lockups (fixed by hitting escape then returning to the game) and the sound and graphics lockups (fixed by calling up Task Manager then returning to the game) I am starting to see textures that are colored wrong.

Thoughts:
1) Bad HD, Bad VidCard?
2) Maybe bad drivers for Vid Card? (current version 6.13.10.2311)
3) Reload now that it's clean and try again?

Any suggestions?

Walking?  I usually leave it on Run all the time.  Easier when somebody else gets on the server and starts shooting at me. ;)

I got most of the way through that post, and thought "Gee, he didn't even mention me.  How cool."   Then I saw the last line.

Rats.  I have the feeling that I will NEVER live that one down. Even the wife reminds me of that one.

Nope.  The Database server is tracking every post that this ID is making.  Other 16 were corrected when I did a "Fix Post Totals" earlier today.

Probably prior to the Yavin Trials level.  That is where you get your lightsaber.

The first few levels of the single player, you only get to use certin weapons.  But that is so that you will learn to use each of them, and learn how to fight each enemy.

Play multi-player, and you can get it all!!

Just a quick mention that GZA is a long time LAN party, and they have finally been able to move it to a weekend date.  If you are looking for some good prizes, and a good time, go check it out!

Thatnks for the compliment.  We are working on getting a discount, because that was VERY expensive.

It is a bug with the apostrophe, in this forum software.  Since it's PHP based, the code will escape the apostrophe everytime.  Bad code.  I am working on getting the upgrade to this code.

I found a patch for that, but now there is a error message that is being displayed.  I am working on it.
