Merlin007

your HP case is classed as a mid-size ATX so a standard ATX PSU should be ok. However, before buying any PSU, double check the physical dimensions (heigth, width, and depth) to make sure it would fit properly. If you need to, measure the size you have now and that will give you an idea to what you can fit in your case. as others have stated, don't go to cheap and go with a bit more power than you may need right now with thinking of future upgrades. modular cableing is also nice and clean but not necessary and look for one that has a 6 pin PCI-E power connector.

Got it and installed, running windows 7 pro. only issue was that is took a couple of attempts to download through windows update but other than that, all is good.

How about a little M*A*S*H

Welcome Muddy to the XI forum. Excellent servers and a good bunch of folks here. Enjoy the games.

Your welcome BiG CheesE. Good to hear that worked for you.

I found this little blurp on a forum that some say have worked without having to go into safemode. Worth a shot. "Run Internet Explorer, Click Tools -> Internet Options. Select Connections Tab and click to Lan Settings button. Click Advanced button to open Proxy settings. Copy and paste the following text into “Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with:” go.trendmicro.com;www.myantispyware.com;www.malwarebytes.org; Click OK to save Proxy settings, then Click OK to close Lan Settings and Click OK to close Internet Explorer settings. Download HijackThis from here. Once Save dialog opens, you need first to rename hijackthis.exe to iexplore.exe Further click Save button to save it to desktop. If you are using the Firefox, then you need right click to the above link to open a Save dialog. Run HijackThis. Click Scan button. Select entries that looks like: R1 – HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:{RANDOM} O4 – HKCU\..\RunOnce: [{RANDOM}] C:\ProgramData\{RANDOM}\{RANDOM}.exe Example: R1 – HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:49512 O4 – HKCU\..\RunOnce: [kEdGm06300] C:\ProgramData\kEdGm06300\kEdGm06300.exe Place a checkmark against each of them. Once you have selected all entries, close all running programs then click once on the “fix checked” button. Close HijackThis. Reboot your computer. Go to step 2 above."

Are you able to run msconfig or access the registry directly to see if there are any new entries in the startup that you could disable? If possible, try disabling or removing program entry and rebooting.

Welcome Mad Cow!

When you do get your profile going again, either new or the lost one, try the XI Downloader program the XI team developed as it has a profile backup utility or if you prefer something else, there are programs like Allway Sync. Depending on your needs, consider adding a second hard drive to back your stuff up on to. Good luck.

I had a small hobby of collecting pewter figurines of wizards and I love the James Bond movies, new and old. So together, I've gone with Merlin007 and have since I started with Medal of Honor a decade or so ago.

I use Rainlendar for my desktop calendar and DisplayFusion Pro for dual monitor features such as independant task bars.

Very cool Arrienn.

Welcome to the forums Duck. A good bunch of Idiots here.

Snow blower fueled and ready sir!

Nah... Just an IDIOT! Nice sig. Just finished my new sig today as well.

?I'm a 49ers fan myself but will have to go with the Steelers on this one.

Well, I am not as quite poetic as my friend Astronomer is but I am sure I can be just as much an 'idiot'. Thanks eh! - Merlin007>XI<

Good day folks. I have been playing on your freeze tag server for a few months now and my friend Deerhunter mentioned to me about posting an introduction here so here I am. A little about myself: I am Canadian, living near London Ontario, happily married with 4 children. Aside some playtime on WaW or just tinkering with computers on my home network, I also play a bit of golf, I am a Leafs fan, and a 49ers Fan. As for the game, I have been playing for about a decade now starting out with the MOHAA classic then into the CoD series. I have come to enjoy playing the freeze tag mod with you all. Always enjoyable and fun when playing online with a good bunch of people. My CoD game name is Merlin007. Cheers -Merlin007

I will note though however, that I did initially create this folder when i was running Vista 32bit or maybe it was with Windows 7 32bit. Can't remember now exactly . Anyway, this folder was in my backup files and got copied over when I installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit. Not sure if this would have made a difference. -Merlin007

This "godmode" folder is nice to have everything in one spot. Have had no issues using on my Windows 7 Pro 64bit system. Works nice. -Merlin007

Excellent. Look forward to seeing what you come up. -Merlin007

Allow user to choose backup location to save to. For myself, my game is installed on the OS drive (C:) and with my simple program, I save a backup of the profile to my d drive. -Merlin007

ph4nt0m Maybe this could be a handy feature to add to the downloader ? After all, it already knows where your profile data is stored from your settings Thoughts anyone? I think it would be a good addition to the downloader Ph4nt0m. Like you said, you are already saving the settings info if someone is installing other than the OS drive and this information is key as profile locations are different if one is not using UAC and/or installed other than the OS drive. A single program to update maps as well as backup and restore user profiles would be handy. If you guys do look at the feasibility of this, I would also include settings to allow for user specified backup locations. -Merlin007

I am running windows 7 pro 64bit with UAC on. Location for the CoD4 players folder is here: C:\Users\#Username#\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare For 32bit, same as above but just as "Program Files" without the (x86). With UAC off, it is as Gump pointed out. I created myself a small utility program to backup and restore my CoD4 and WaW profiles which has come in handy already when I had to reinstall everything to a new drive. Always good to keep a backup. -Merlin007
