well, i've only got 4gb of ram atm, (though silly xp only recognises 3) so might need to get more.. but i hate buying hardware :< all the numbers confuse the shit out of me, and if im away from hardware sites for longer than a few months, i lose the plot :<

plus i can never remember what is in my pc :ugly: is it ddrm 3 ddrmrmr 3, drtmdr t3, T2, T3 Rise of the machines etc
:50 Like I care... :-14
:lol:

As to RAM - don't bother. Nothing around needs or can even use more than 4 gig of ram. We're not beyond that point yet!

Good to see no one, including me, was paying attention...yeesh.

The step I missed: after completing everything in the first post, run Windows update. Man I need more sleep... :ugly:

Well, im pretty sure I posted a message in here today?! but i've been so dazed from the events of the weekend that I can't remember posting it, just woke up from a 4 hour nap :S Any, not sure why my post was deleted, it wasn't like rage directed at anyone other than microsoft and the gods of pissing balls off??! :ugly:

Anyway, it's not letting me instal 64bit Win7, but my pc can do 64bit, but when i put the 64bit disk into either XP (32) or Win7(32) is just says:
Quote:
"This installation disc isn't compatible with your version of Windows. To upgrade, you need the correct installation disc. For more information, check your computers sytem information. To install a new copy of Windows, restart (boot) youur computer using the installation disc, and then select custom advanced.) "
I really wish I had submitted my post or my post wasn't deleted (which ever it was, my brain is wet cake right now),... I might have got some help earlier... not cool...

Please don't delete this it is freaking me out! :evil:

No such thing as a "normal taskbar".

If you mean can you make an up-to-date OS look like a retarded , 13 year-old piece of shit OS 'cos you are too scared and/or stupid to learn anything new ever, then the answer is yes. At that point though someone may as well step in and take your PC from you. :18

It startles me how users of some of the most advanced technology we can own have these desperate urge to resist change and cling only to what they know. If you cannot face change, get the fuck out of computing :lol:

About the other thing: I think you are confusing DirectX with Visual C....

Yeah. Most games are still 32bit so you need the x86 packages too.

They're only small...

Aye - usual M$ bullshit. No reason in the world this should not be one redist package. Just silly.

Yea turn off Aero when playing TF2, otherwise it crashes.

See my thread Team Fortress Crashing

I did what Minimoose suggested and not had any problems again since the new update. But Howard helped me with the settings in TF2 and it's much better now.
