["Custom import" texts to GMail]

Unfortunately, your phone is running on a custom platform based on Java and chances for you to export anything to Gmail are pretty much non-existent.

["Custom import" texts to GMail]

Tell us please the exact model of the phone.

What platform is your phone running on? Windows Mobile (what version?) or Android?

Games usually use own versions of DirectX files. I would suggest you run the DirectX setup on the Splinter Cell disc.

[.NET Framework requirements]

Unlike Directx, .net flavours are required separately by installed applications, therefore having .net frameowrk 4 doesn't mean an application that requires .net framework 2 will work.

[message "domain not available"]

You really ahve 2 options:

1. log back into domain

2. remove the computer from the domain (you will still need to connect to the domain first though).

[message "domain not available"]

When you attempt to log into the domain, the server is questioned for username and password. There are 10 days of offline availability when you can use the locally cached profile for logon, but after this time, the domain controller MUST be contacted for username and password validation.

@PuntoMX

The reason I chose the Asus mobo is the PCI-E port that fits the RAID-controller card. Gigabyte doesn't have it

[New rig]

I'm sure Sp0iLedBrAt meant the abbreviated links like "http://www.newegg.co..." which are now conspicuously absent from your "unedited" post, nitroshift.

LinkS? What linkS? There's only one...

PS. I've edited the post after noticing that IE9 was loading the pages from cache and didn't link to the original pages in the first place... Oh well, something new to report to the IE team over at Microsoft

Antec TruePower 550 would be a better PSU for that build. Better efficiency, quieter fan, and it'll be easier to work with. 650 is overkill. Also, remember that the TruePower series do not peak at their rated output, that is there highest rated continuous. The 550W Antec True Power peaks closer to 600-620W if you really think you'll be approaching those power needs.

Also, for the price, why not go for a quad core? I'm sure it's well more power than you'll realistically need, but the availability would mean you don't have to buy another CPU in the future.

I have no complaints about any other components, although for the 5770, I would suggest the MSI Hawk version, it's quieter and cools better than most other stock cards.

Note taken on the PSU, thanks. As for the CPU, that Phenom II can be unlocked to 4 cores And the 5770 will be watercooled too.

@SpoiledBrat

Links work just fine here, both on IE9 Beta and Firefox 3.6.10.

I'm after parts for my new pc, so far I chose these:

Mobo: Asus M4A89TD PRO 179.99USD

PCI-E: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5770 1GB 144.99 USD

As for the HDD, I have a pair of 73.4 GB @15k rpm SAS drives that I'm planning to use in a RAID 0 array using this card: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16816117158 (129.99 USD) only for the OS (data will be kept on a separate drive that I already have).

Please chime in and let me know what you think (CoffeFiend's and PuntoMX's thoughts will prevail )

PS. I have kept the water-cooling system and I will be using it in the new rig.Prices are taken off newegg.com, although I will be buying the parts from local shops.

Windows 7 Professional x86 (untouched) runs perfectly on a laptop with Intel Celeron @ 1.73GHz, 2GB DDR2 and a Sis Mirage 3D graphics card. Not suitable for gaming for sure, but for browsing the internet, office work, movies and music is more than OK.

If this is on a newly installed system, I found that it won't install until reboot. I had the same error when updating windows with a bunch of updates, including windows live.

Also moved to the software section, where this belongs.
