DC Gamer Club / Re: [BARGAIN] GTA Complete Collection - US$12.49

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 22, 2011, 07:00 PM »

Got myself this on GG while its on sale (£4.99 in the UK) as thats way to good of a deal to pass up!

Kinda getting annoyed with GTA IV though as it refuses to work on Windows 7 x86, yet san Adreas loads and plays with absolutly no problems at all!

Not PC related but one night I accidentally spilled a full pint of Guinness into and old CRT TV. Surprisingly even after turning it upside down on a towel barely a drop poured back out. Still worked perfectly the next day, if a bit smelly.

Mini-Reviews by Members / (By Deozaan) - Harvest: Massive Encounter - A unique, moddable, indie Tower Def

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 18, 2011, 01:49 PM »

Somebody gifted me a copy of Harvest: Massive Encounter back in July and I was so busy I forgot all about it. I just found it in my Steam Library a couple days ago and after looking into the details and remembering it was a Tower Defense game I decided to try it out for the first time.

I spilt beer in my old laptop while pretty drunk a few months back. Shorted out most of the keyboard and some of the ports. It was alive enough for me to backup however and still kind of works. Except it sometimes keeps typing 6's for some reason where the only temporary fix is mashing random keys until it stops.

Have you tried CMD.exe?

copy C:\foldername\*.* d:\foldername\*.*

Failing that, what about uploading said files to a temp FTP account, then re-downloading them all (Its a chore I know, but certainly an option)

Also, you could try in Safe Mode, or using the default windows Admin account?

This is what I meant (well, "I fixed your post" to be precise) - I see this used quite often in another forum that I frequent - did not think it is a strange, barely used acronym (though it is a fairly niche forum).

The Acrophobia  entry says "Acrophobia  is an extreme or irrational fear of heights." Fearing this is not irrational. More likely this is a test for insanity.

Yes, I suppose I do want a free Web host, and I was thinking of instructional material for the public, as it were.  This was started by posts about using Listary with XYplorer on the recent lifetime license offer on XYplorer on Bits du Jour, where I wanted to make some screenshots (I misunderstood matters, but that's irrelevant here).  Jing is a TechSmith program and can send its output to their screencast.com Web site, where you get 2 GB of free space.  It can do either plain screenshots with simple annotations, or 5-minute videos that can't be annotated.  I was looking for a home for the half-way situation of step-by-step "how to" slideshows like Wink does.

mouser - thanks for the offer: it's just that the public might not be solely or even primarily DC.  In that case, I wouldn't feel all that comfortable.

The [img][/img] WONT work if a website blocks linking to their images, as this doesnt upload it to the DC server.  However, the [attach=1] and [attachthumb=1] uploads it direct to the DC FTP, and will stay forever

I hope that helped a little

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: App to set monitor position/order

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 12, 2011, 12:53 AM »

Ok, this is a crazy request but I need an app that can set my monitors (physical devices) to a predefined order and position.  Like you would do in the display properties settings window.
Background: I have a laptop + 19" + 19" (via usb) and they usually map/assign as [1][3][2]

Occassionally after rebooting the monitor position gets altered (never the same) today it was...
    [2]
[1][3]

Does anybody have any ideas on how to set this through AHK?

-rsteward (September 28, 2011, 01:46 PM)

This is a very good idea, and your not the only one whose monitor positions get randomly messed up through rebooting.

Would be interesting to see if anybody has a fix/solutions!
