What a wonderful tribute post. The loss of a parent is very bittersweet. You've nicely captured both the bitter and the sweet, but mainly the sweet.

WOW - Absolutely fucking awesome!!!

Congrats @@DEEJAYKEG !!

I'm always late to these parties because I'm totally lame at keeping on top of recent posts, so happy belated birthday, Angel. Hope you had a great day!

@@Ricko - Found Womack & Womack - Teardrops on Amazon. Bought it. It'll get airplay on Girls Rock Radio right after I switch over to the new broadcast software...

@@Ricko - I like that Teardrops song A LOT!

And another one for @@JohnnyDos...

For @@JohnnyDos because he likes the Southern Girls and the way they talk.

How did you uninstall the game? Just deleting it? Did you uninstall the patches in the reverse order? Or what exactly? [ed] I guess you can't uninstall the patches in the reverse order since they don't show up in Programs and Features, so ignore that question. .

Hopefully one of the game admins will catch this and remove that map for you, @@KaptCrunch. I'm still trying to figure out the servers...

Oh, you're gonna love this one!

Oh, and Corel has definitely kept pace. Not sure what upgrade path you have available if you have an ancient copy. You might have to purchase a new license outright. http://www.coreldraw.com/us/special-offers/?promo=cb3step OR http://www.coreldraw.com/us/product/home-student/?promo=cb3step Otherwise, Corel PaintShop Pro Ultimate (http://www.paintshoppro.com/en/products/paintshop-pro/ultimate/?hptrack=mmpsp&_ga=1.110676741.1089782944.1442871596a) is my preferred graphics program. You might try Paint.NET or GIMP as alternatives. Not sure exactly what you use them for, so I can't be sure any of these will do what you need.

@@Leadfinger - I think once you're on the other side of the Win10 upgrade, you'll be amazed at just how much better it is. Windows has matured an order of magnitude since the good 'ol XP days. Stability is WAY better, especially for games (some odd problems like this Insurgency thing notwithstanding.) File History (you need a second drive for that, but SO worth it!) for automatic backup and file versioning is SO nice! And Hibernate mode to shut down, then recover to where you left off when you power back up is awesome! It will be a bit of a shock going all that distance - XP all the way up to 10 - but at its core, it's still Windows so you really wont be lost. Personally, I absolutely LOVE the new Start Menu - it combines what everyone actually liked about the Win8 Start Screen with what everybody likes about the Win7 Start Menu. And it's nicely customizable.

If you have an XP era computer, it's probably time to ditch it for something contemporary. Unfortunately, without knowing more about your specs, I couldn't begin to give you a recommendation. And frankly, the only recommendation I would ever want to make is to get the current OS, so in other words, Windows 10. Upgrading to Win8 only means you'll need to upgrade again - soon. Although you can probably upgrade from 7 or 8 to 10 for free as long as you do it by next September. Win10 is awesome, so that's the place to be now. Tell me what 32bit programs you think you will loose? Two things about that. 1) Many 32 bit programs run just fine on 64bit Windows. That's by design. When they don't, it's more likely that they are too old and rely on OS services that have been discontinued. And 2) there are a lot of freeware alternatives to programs out there. Unless you have some proprietary, vertical software that's so specialized that there is no current freeware equivalent, you'll probably find something better. Only program I've ever actually lost and refused to pay to upgrade has been Microsoft Visio. It used to be reasonably priced, but then they decided to ditch the "home" edition and go strictly "enterprise" with it and jacked the price into the stratosphere. But LibreOffice Draw is a fairly good alternative, so even there I'm not at a total loss. So if you tell me what you fear loosing, maybe I could suggest an alternative...

Okay, well, I'm not sure what to say then. It seems that some are plagued by this type of thing, and it doesn't seem to be video card related. JohnnyDos has that black screen thing, too, SOB also, I think. Johnny's on a Radeon card, that much I know for sure. If you had said you had a Radeon card, I'd be thinking there's more of a pattern developing here. But no. As for the GeForce drivers, it seems NVIDIA is having some pains with Win10. 355.60 (the one before the current, released mid Aug) was a mess and crashed on me a lot. Accordingly, I went back to 353.62. But I've had some random BSOD crashes that I just pinned down to Remote Desktop this morning. As it's obviously doing some video emulation, I'm assuming it is the 355.60 driver. This morning I installed the 355.82 driver which was released late Aug. Too early to tell if there's any better or worse performance with that one. Anyways - Suggestion for Insurgency: 1) Check your ...\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\insurgency2\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2013 folder. Run the vcredist_x64.exe in there so it can update your VisualC Redistribution module. When I had problems in BF4, that trick right there got me running smooth. Maybe it will help for Insurgency, too. 2) Check your ...\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\insurgency2\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010 folder. Run the DXSETUP.exe in there and let it install (or repair) your DX10 installation.

He's installing from Steam. @@loaderXI - I'm thinking you should be good to go. If you're not up to date with the patches, then multiplayer won't show you any game servers to play on. If you can see and get into our servers, you're good to go with that. Now, if PB kicks you after a couple of minutes of play, then you will need the update which you can find here (I think): http://www.xtremeidiots.com/files/file/22-call-of-duty-world-at-war-windows/ or maybe this one: http://www.xtremeidiots.com/files/file/2264-codwaw-punkbusterfixzip/ Let us know if you need install help with PB. I've fixed other peoples' PB just by TeamViewing them and copying over my PB folder to theirs. Ususally there's an old file that's keeping it from working right. But sometimes the installers put the right file in the wrong place.

Which video card do you guys have and your driver version?

I have updated the servers.

UPDATE2: They must have pushed another update after we updated the servers yesterday. I just ran the Server Update process again on the Co-op and PVP and they are both back on my favorites list. Let me (or any of the real Insurgency Admins) know if they are still missing on yours.

UPDATE: They are gone for me today, too.
