It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission Appearing full of oneself reflects emptiness We can only participate, never control Limits are made to be tested Find the good and praise it Always believe behaviour over words What you are able to hear is more important than what you say The heart knows more than the head It works best to focus on process and benchmarks rather than on "outcomes", which are largely an illusion IQ and wisdom are not correlated What is your favourite thing about your career or industry?

Yep, that's what we used also

Veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easy! For free with Macrium Reflect Just be careful and READ what you clone at. Be sure you select the right drive. Sometimes it is not the top one.

No early endings since you made the final changes. At least not yet.

Awesome. Love playing with this guy and this was really fun to read.

Back working on

Macirum is no longer free - no updates after 01/01/24

And btw, once done, be sure to disable that service. No need to run extra MS services.

The 1060 should not be a problem at all. See if you can try the DXwebsetup https://www.google.com/search?q=DXwebsetup&oq=DXwebsetup&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

No, I have the regular disk. I have tried to fix it for I think 8 nights in a row to get it working. I have one drive where the COD5 is installed and I am very careful with that one. Now I am trying to dual boot and using hardware that Win7 can run on. Yet I have to try a PCIe x1 USB card too, to stick in for modern hardware and see if that can be done.

Yeah, COD WaW seems to be hard. I have no idea how to fix that. Seems like their login service is out? Optional, dual boot could be nice if you still have the old drive. With that, cloning to a SSD/M2.

Nice getting to know you better.

Nice one Raven

No its still cod4. cod4x is the community patch that allows you to play on servers like XI. If you look down on the right side after oppening the game you will see the patch name and version. I've had the same problem as you and solved it that way.

Happy Birthday ! I hope you have a great one !

your mic is plogued?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Or if you have the folder Call of Duty 4 drop it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

Will put a little bit of smoke around it and a couple of exploding barrels around just to keep you warm when adding fx lol (say no to cowbells)

If you have steam and want a copy of this software let me know. I stupidly bought two copies! First to respond can have the steam codes.

excellent read, thank you!

@Raven Thanks for sharing, the last question got me good lol
