Backing them up is the same thing as a clean install.

You're right, we should switch back to BMP and stop using this newfangled JPG.

I can't wait until Ubisoft is done with PCs, and then they will go on to do something similar to consoles games. Such as, including a one-time unique activation code that both ties the game (single and multi) to your gamertag permanently, as well as lets you download the equivalent of the main...

They dropped the requirements for both 720p and 2xAA years ago.

More than the insane power supply or money cost issues, it's the "diminishing returns" thing. With a certain other platform's lowest common denominator effect holding back the PC versions of most games, I just don't see the point.

Does anyone know what it means when I get this message: "RE5DX9.EXE has encountered an error and needs to close"? I can't even run the benchmark. It crashes before it even starts. I have full latest drivers, firmwares, Windows updates, DirectX, and defragged hard drive. No overclocks, no...

Sorry, but that is totally false. Edge-detect AA was created for the very reason that it doesn't do those things. As shown here, in the HardOCP article that explains about the AA mode

Raise your hand if you saw this coming a mile away. *everyone on Earth raises their hands*

That poster was talking about the point that it's not a straight number of each individual vote counted up that actually, finally elects a particular candidate (ie, the "popular vote" count), it's the people who make up the Electoral College. It's possible, but very rare, for a presidential...

So I'm trying to download the 32-bit version from the direct links posted here at HardOCP and the download keeps cutting out at seemingly random times. I've tried download managers, Firefox, IE, etc. Is this just because of traffic? Is there anything I can do to prevent this, even if it...

You need to Sign In to "Windows Live", should be a sign in link in the top right corner of the screen.

I just did that blog's method a minute ago, and it worked for me. After logging into Windows Live, at first it gave me an error saying "check back tomorrow" but I kept re-entering the address and eventually the Key page popped up. All those of you out there, keep trying over and over even...

If you people had actually played through the game Portal, you wouldn't be insulting this, lol. :) The theremin itself sounds extremely similar to the robotic tone of voice of the A.I. computer character in Portal. That's why it's done that way. Obviously it sounds like crap if you're...

I hear you can get an "adaptor" to solve that. :)
