I like this game so much that I've allready designed a custom track! Now thats fun!

Are sunsise and extreme also free? If so where can i get them?

It looks ok but i would take Delta Force over this any day.

Hay guys just wanted to say thanks! Its was a great week end the PC behaved it self and i just wanted to say thanks for all of your help!

This is by far one of the most beautiful games i have ever played. sure it lacka a physics model and the cars behave more like motor bikes than cars (the inability to both brake and turn) but my god what a beautiful game!

guys guys calm down! its ok now! no more access noise! Its scared of me! Just the way I like it ( evil Burns laugh) Tarun mate when i click on health all i get is a clean screan, nada i start off by doing a bench mark which takes bout two min and then i click on health and its....well empty. I'll post the pic in a min. I'm 100% convinced it was Nortons tun back feature. Its some dumb auto reverse feature which is suppose to allow you to go back to when your pc was doing just fine, (whidh is usually done the run command, how to do this escapes me at the moment), which was before you installed Norton Utilities! :-)

LLXX mates i'm sorry its not a clickity clack. Ok go put your ear next to your pc open up any program or run defragment that gargly sound the hard dirve makes... thats the sound i had every now and again. i'm sure there is a more technical term for that sound but thats what it was. as if windows was either trying to look for something or was trying to open some thing up. In my mechanical engineering opinion i think it what that pesky Norton Turn back feature. It must have been monitoring the HD and looking for new and exciting ways to p*** me off. And i'm sure i must have accidnetly enabled a few MS Access programs while i was looking for MS equation editor. Tarun thanks so much for the advice about the HD tune thing. Honestly i have no clue what its doing, like i said i'm a mechanial engineer, i know decent bit about pcs but i'm sure you know more. So you may be able to explain why when i click on the Health part of HD tuner its empty? As for the picture i posted, what the hell does all that mean? Any how guys for now any way the dam thing is behaving it self. In my personal opinion i feel that being dressed in all blackleather and wearing a black lid, boots and gloves and giving the thing a solid b1tch slap and threatning to kill it and eat its sould put the fear of got into it and may have attributed to its improved behavior. What song was going therw Shah's head when he was working on his pc decked out in black riding gear! http://youtube.com/watch?v=hIQEBe4L7iE (PS video is defenity not G nor PG nor.....well i don't think its even R maybe NC 17? but never the less a great song to listen to wile working on euipment that isn't behaving its self!)

How to fix a seriously Fed up computer. Phase one step one Be reasonalbe, do every thing you know how to do and be nice to it thinking that maybe its sick Phase two step one Get a bad nights sleep wondering that the F is going on! step two go to work and ask every one and their brother what they think and what would they do step three gather some possible soultions Phase three Step one Ride your bike home at well over 100mph because you are seriously p***ed off. Step two Rum up three flights of stairs decked out looking like Darth Step three Uninstall office and norton turn back or what ever bs they put on the latest norto utilities to save you pc if it is ever killed off by norton Step four Get angry! Really freaking angry! Step five Stand back put your lid on and scream inside your lid till the face shield is all fogged up Step six Get midevil on its a**! Treat it like a little b***h by giving it one hell of a punch Step seven restart pc step eight install office again step nine take of leather protective motorcycle clothing and go get your self a drink. your pc is just fine and will continue to behave it self for it now fears for its very existance and knows you have no fear about throwing it out of the window and doing doughnuts on its dead guts! Long story short I'm guessing it was that pesty nortun turn back feature and some corrupted office files. And yes i did puch the pc head on with a closed fist. And all i have to say is "wow, dell makes some really tough stuff!" Attached is the HDTune immage i took of the pc while enjoying my Martini

So before i get on my bike fly home at 110mph run up three flight of stairs wearing full leather and scream and laugh while killing office what do you guys think? Could an office application do such a thing?

Ok thank god for the guys at the IT department! Hook them up once with a hot girl and your god! They feel that while i was hunting to install Equation editor i som how accidently installed a part of some database program, and its doing its best to find the data base. They indicated that i should kill off office and start installing it one piece at a time to ensure stability.

This is a war! On one hand its me! Man! Angry man! On the other its a cold soulless machine who wants to kill me! I think i'll call him Hall 2000 from now on! What really gets me is that i can't F disk my drive because Dell doesn't give you a freaking Windows CD!

Guys maybe you can help me I'm having a similar issue this is what i posted on this thread http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...mp;#entry566181 Ok guys I'm very new and I've done a bit of search but I can't seem to find out what gives with my PC. So I'm asking the titans of the MS world for their help. Here is the gig I have a dell 8400 Windows XP Service Pack 2 Pentium IV 3.4 processor 1 Gig of Ram 80 Gig hard drive on board sound And have just recently picked up a ATI Radeon X1600 Pro / 512MB DDR2 / PCI Express And am running Norton Utilities Yah not the sexiest piece of equipment out there but it works. so here is the gig as of last month things really started going strange on the PC. It works great, starts up and does all the usual stuff except every 10 or so seconds the hard drive has a little hick up and does a little clickat clack. It runs for 10 seconds for no reason. I could be in the middle of reading an article or a word document and the hard drive light comes on and I hear the hard drive spin. If all your doing is surfing the net or typing up a report it won't affect any thing. But when go to play a game every time the hard drive doest its little dance your game will have a momentary hick up/freeze. At first I thought it was the video driver, Dells are known for their very cheap video cards. Mine didn't even have a cooling fan nor a decent heat sink. So I convinced my self and my wife that it was the video card killing its self thus causing the processor to work extra hard. So I went out and picked up the ATI card. Installed it and sure enough it improved things, the PC runs smoother but for the love of god THE DAM HARD DRIVE STILL IS DOING SOME FUNKY READING! What gives! I was up till 1AM trying to figure it out! Ran anti virus Ran Ad-Aware SE Cleaned up the hard drive, Threw away a tone of old stuff that I didn't use any more Defragmenter Checked the hard drive Screamed at the computer Found a chicken and a virgin and did some voodoo Made a donation to Green Peace Pleaded with it but like Hall 2000 every few seconds that dam light would come on and the dam hard drive would spin! I'm ready to freaking F disk the HD and start from scratch but guess what! Dell doesn't give you a window CD when you buy their PC's! Aint that nice! So if any of you great minds could help me I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance! And guys..... I'm a dumb a** when it comes to computers ok! A smart guy could fix this so when you give me advice keep it simple ok! Cars / Bikes i'm good at, PC's.....aaah not so good! Any help would be oh so super cool!

Pierre thanks mate when i get home i'll look and see what my HD is and if there are any specific tools from that company for checking out its performance. But its bizzar, i can read and write files to the HD..... I'm thinking i should maybe alos kill off office and then reinstall it? God i hope its not some dam bot i picked up some place! That would so suck! hay mates what do you think of this http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t1083.html God give me an engine/car/bike! I can put my hand on it and tell you whats wrong! Computers are like women, no one knows that the hell is wrong with them whey they cry on Tuesdays! And god forbid you ask them "hay whats up?!"

well i'm not at home, when i get home i'll let you know what that program puts out. Are you guys sure I didn't accidently install some messed up half assed MS file from office when i was trying to install equation editor?

well its not bad noise, its the usual sound you get out of a HD when you start up a program. Nothing really loud or unusual. Its the usual but at an unusual rate! Now I've been thinking this all started last month when i was trying to install equation editor for my wife to do her labs. I know that while i was installing that i did install a number of other things because at first i coldn't find the program. Do you think i accidently installed some funky MS stuff that keeps looking at the HD looking for some thing? This is driving me nuts!
