Thanks for posting this Tacts!

For offline was not happy with no icons and not happy with default either - this looks great to play with and get the settings that suit.

I have a Dell machine - a three year old 4500. I have upgraded the hard disk, video card and put some extra RAM in it but it never gave me a much trouble, very sold and reliable piece of kit. Just upgraded to a new Fujitsu Siemens machine but have given the Dell machine to my two boys to use so stil...

I feel for you Dan - I had no end of problems with my new PC trying to get PF and Teamspeak to work properly.

Some encouragement for you - it only took me three weeks to sort it all :) , a bright guy like you should have it sorted in no time :)

You've awoken a few memories I would rather have left sleeping. I did a few disections at school and the the two worst were the dogfish - not so bad the first week, but by the time we got to week 3 it was pretty rank, even with it pickled in formalin. the cockroach - the formalin had not got through...

Hey Falcon, no problem mate. At least you offered some advice :D I now have it sorted. I uninstalled and then reinstalled from scratch (AGAIN!) with a reboot between each stage and that seems to have done the trick - although I have no idea why! All I need to do now is get Teamspeak working............

Not sure what you mean by that Falcon.

I don't have FB loaded until I connect to a game in HL then it loads automatically. I have always done it that way and never had a problem before moving to this new PC?

Sorry....

Sorry I could not join any of the squad servers tonight but I was unable to connect to any games. I have installed a new copy of FB+AEP+PF and patched up to 4.02m but every game I joined failed to load the map? No problem with maps offline, I can play no problem, but no joy online? Must admit I don'...

Thanks for the advice Falcon. I decided to reinstall FB, AEP, PF and patches. Things went OK until I got to PF. For some reason when I insert the disk it thinks there is still a copy on the PC - despite me removing it using "Add/Remove Programmes", and getting rid of any other traces using...

Well finally got it all sorted - files moved across OK with PC Mover and most of the registry settings, email, internet, applications have come across OK. Only program I have a problem with is (you guessed it) - FB/AEP/PF. :evil: The game loads fine but as soon as I try to start a mission I get the ...

Thought of that - but the old hard drive is ATA and the new one is SATA so not sure that is possible?

Plus I want the old machine for the kids to use. :(

New PC - Moving old files

Well my shiny new PC arrived yesterday so should be able to return as your virtual cannon fodder over the holiday season :D I was thinking about the nightmare of reinstalling everything on the new machine and came across a couple of programs which are supposed to make this easier (PC Mover and Trans...

Overheating ATI Card - the revenge

My 9700 Pro has developed the same issues as Ardmores - lots of pretty red lines and strange graphic effects when the card has been running for a few minutes. I have had the guts of the machine out on the kitchen table and it seems like the fan that sits on the heat sink for the GPU is not spinning ...

Great story Skipper - sounds like we need a Fighting Irish Cohort to add to the Squadron and Platoon? :)

Any interest in an online ladder for RTW?

I like it, but I also like vanilla RTW as well and I switch between the two as the mood takes me. I agree with TactS (now theres a surprise :) ) about the realism v fun eleme...
