I believe it will only download to drives physically attached to the computer.

Does it give the option to uninstall it? Edit: Also found an article explaining the normal procedure for updating the hal dll, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/Q234558. Beyond that I am out of ideas.

So the option to update is greyed out or not present? I think the only other options would be a clean install or a repair install.

That is a good suggestion, if the hal type is properly detected by windows you should be able to select 1 graph per cpu in the task manager.

Your right, should have checked my XP machine first. Maybe it can be done some other way?

In Msconfig under the boot tab click advanced options, in this menu you should see a check box for "detect hal", check it than click ok and reboot. This worked for me when my system lost a core after updating to vista sp1.

Do you have the same issue when running everything at stock speeds over a weeks time?

Because it's a game they are interested in, games like it are the reason the PS2 was so popular and GameCube/XBOX were not. If MS can get a steady flow of these types of games in Japan than they have a very good chance of taking the console crown from Sony.

Use the Neo 6 setting in the creative music player.

What card would that be again?

What about something like this- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124065 ? Wouldn't it do most of what the Killer NIC claims to do?

When using the 5.1 Analog outs your sound card will do the decoding and output the descrete channels.

So Microsoft just gave up on this IP, they didn't even try to sell it? Are they just giving up on battletech and Mechwarrior all together?

If your not dead set on multi channel than I would suggest the Onkyo R805Xt slim stereo receiver. http://www.accessories4less.com/cgi-bin/item/ONKR805XT I would say it's about half the height of those cube PC cases, maybe even a bit smaller.

How about a simple passive switch from parts express, http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&PartNumber=180-980&DID=7&raid=26&rak=180-980 ?

Maybe the cables are bad or something is wrong with the video output of the 360?

Down at the bottom of that page are some shots that look like they are rendered with the gameplay engine.

So than what is it, how was the screen shot created?

Something in the x800 series?

It's unlocking now, they had to update thier website first I guess. :rolleyes:

Right click Half Life 2 in the Steam games list and select properties, change to the updates tab and select "Do not automaticly update this game" in the drop down menu. You can also try unpluging your internet before launching steam forcing it to run in "offline mode".

Try the following volume adjustments just for the heck of it, solved bass issues with my Audigy2 ZS. Adjust the volumes in the Surround Mixer Program. Front Left/Right/Center Volume- 62% Rear Left/Right Volume- 64% Subwoofer Volume- 100% Also as others have stated make sure bass...

I don't understand why these types of shows aren't open to the general public, it's not like we support the industry with our hard earned dollar or anything. :rolleyes:

I sold mine for $5.00.

More system ram my help, you can also try defraging your hard drive. The source engine is a fickle one, for some it runs great and for others it never runs well.

Sorry, completly overlooked that, I'll go hide now. :D

Just tell me to shut up if your already aware of or planing on this but you will need a new motherboard with PCI Express.

As with all new hardware some people will have problems but that is no reason not to give the Xfi a shot and if you do have problems with it the Audigy 2zs is a good second choice.

They support 5.1 through analog out but only stereo via digital, there are exceptions though like DVD's and sound cards that encode all content into a 5.1 digital stream.

Unless you have one of those Dolby Digital/DTS encoding cards all you will get is stereo with the optical out.

As long as you use the analog 5.1 outs there will be no lag.

...than sleep in thier beds.

You don't have to keep that stuff running for the apps to function, kill it all.

Chenming on newegg

I still have a 600c in storage that does that, just gave up and replaced it. I think it's a hardware issue because up until a year or two ago it worked just fine and no amount of software tinkering helped, I also had it on a few different systems over the years.

Guild Wars is pretty much pointless unless you are into player vs player, the story/mission/questing part of the game is rather boring and unrewarding.

I swear sometimes those newegg reviewers are on something, it is a mouse designed for PC gamers so of course it has a left and right mouse button.

The onboard sound runs through the southbridge on that board does it not, perhaps it’s a bad set of speakers?

What about the USB devices being used on the ports, maybe one or more is faulty in some way.

I know this is an old topic and I am not sure if the OP got this solved or not but I have a suggestion to make. I too had this issue and it was driving me nuts, there was no disk access or CPU use, no spyware or anything. I finally solved the issue by disabling autoplay in the registry, the key...
