UAC is the window that pops up on vista or windows 7 that stops anything from happening, and asks you if you started it basically. there is another thread on this map problem too.

only reason I am wanting to upgrade is, i think the mobo is trying to go out. things act funny from time to time. and I need a new video card, and just dont feel like messing with this one till it completely quits. I'll build another and run this till it's dead, then fix it.

nice rig larsin, a bet that 400 watt speaker system really rumbles. you may make me have to upgrade mine when I build a new one too. my current build is: Intel core 2 quad q6600 2.4ghz geforce 8600gt 512 mb 4 gig ram 600 watt psu, with case Ultra case something or other, not happy with it, but it does stay cool. 22 inch sceptre lcd monitor 80 watt logitech 2.1 speakers the rest is piddly crap. i'll post the new build as soon as I get it all together and running, havent fully decided on what all i am getting yet.

Start with what nightfly said. shut the computer down, and unplug it, and get a vaccuum cleaner to clean around any of the fan ports. clean around the inside, but be careful not to hit anything and knock it loose. do not touch any components on the inside with your hand unless you are touching the inside of the case at the same time. Touching the inside of the case will discharge your static, and keep you from building any static while you are touching it. the more dust and gunk you can remove from the inside, the more air can flow to help keep it cool. if you can get to the processor heatsink, you can carefully use a Qtip to clean betweent the fins if they are spread enough. heat sink will be a square usually, block of alluminum with a lot of fins on it. Don't remove it cause there is a heat paste under it, and putting it back on properly is sometime a real chore. this will only help if it is a temperature problem. but if the comp has any age on it, and this has never been done, then its a good place to start. and makes for good practice anyway. dust is your enemy on electronics period. to use the speccy program, just download it from http://download.cnet...4-75181811.html install this program, and let your computer just set for a few minutes, and get a reading by just double clicking on speccy. the main wiondow that opens by default will tell you temps of processor, graphics card, and hard drives. let us know what the temps look like. and then go play a round or 2 of your game, and exit it, and immediately run speccy again to see the difference of temps. then we'll go from there .

Happy Birthday

a couple days ago i posted on this too. I am getting looped on the whole map itself, the 30 something mb file. i used to be able to play this map, but now it always tries to redownload, and goes into a loop.

Happy Birthday

by stage 3, you should be playing. Stage 1: Put it all together Stage 2: Boot it and load Windows and games Stage 3: Frag idiots (Note: If stage 2 fails, you didn't do stage 1 correctly you Idiot, go back and do it again)

we'll keep you and your family in our prayers

Lol damn why all the hate for Apple. hahahahahaha iTunes SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! I never have like them. If you just want to email, and browse the web, and maybe tinker with pictures, then go for it. And they got a lot of eye candy which is where windows got their idea from I'm sure. But then again, Linux can do all that too, and looks good, and it's FREE!!!! My father-in-law is the one who taught me majority of my computer know how. He once told me to not waste my time with Apple, and if I did, not to call him as he would disown me, LOL.

glad you're home bro. be annoying to ya later, LOL.

Got our taxes done this morning. I WILL be building a new rig very soon!!!!YAY!!!!! and will even be getting my Mom a new pc, and upgrading Mercy's if she wants. Done good this year.

if you got that up and running before i make my order, let me know what your temps runs if your using just a fan. i looked at that cpu for my build, but the reviews had me worried on temps. i dont want to do water cooling, and most were saying it needed it.

using windows 7 x64. I have installed on a different drive from operating system. I went ahead and did a search for activision folders to find any that weren't on the drive where the game is. they do not have the user maps folder. it is where the game is installed on drive d: even though I have UAC enabled. I have already deleted the map multiple times to let it redownload, it still just goes into a loop. oh well, thanks for trying anyway Bama. as often as map rotation changes, maybe it will get pulled someday soon, and I won't have to worry about it for a while.

Chicago server mp_hanger return I have deleted this map at least 7 or 8 times. but every time it comes up in rotation and I download it, it goes into a loop on the main map file, the 30 something mb file. is there an iwd file i need to delete as well? tried a while back and again yesterday when it came up. as of right now, i just have to sit out and wait for it to pass rotation. odd part is that I have played this map many times before, it just screwed up one day, and I can't get it back. have the same problem with it on Mercy's computer too.

Happy Birthday my dear. Wish the best day possible.

No, Drama, I don't even have the option days after posting... like he said, you are only allowed to edit for just a few minutes after you post. when the time limit is up, the edit post option will go away.

unplug all power to everything except the hard drives and see if it boots. if it does, shut it down, and plug in something else. and see if it boots again. do this until everything is powered and it still boots. you can test the PSU that way, unless you want to buy a psu tester, which is a great thing to have around anyway. also check your mobo psu connections. you will most likely have an extra 4pin or 6 pin power plug aside from the main mobo power. check to make sure that one isnt shorted. have seen that be the culprit for your same situation. made it appear the PSU was bad till we ordered the new one, and found that when i was replacing it. it actually burnt the guys mobo socket and fried his mobo. hence the reason we now have the PSU tester, lol. as far as sound, like previously stated, make sure all connections are good. my front panel plug came apart and i had to unplug it from the mobo to get my sound back. also even though the drivers are new and updated, try uninstalling them and installing them again. sometimes it just take an extra try. if i think of anything else i'll let you know

thats awesome.

Everything on the grill except for the mac and cheese, and the choclate cake.

We have a great time, every weekend, usually Friday and Saturday night, and sometime even on Sunday night. Usually start sometime around 8pm CST or a little later. and sometimes Gorilla is in the mood to entertain and dj's on the radio for us, so it's even more like all of us being right there together in the same room at the bar. It really is a lot of fun
