you'll want to download Forceware 100 (it's actually ver. 100.65), which fixed my shader problems immediately. It takes a little bit of finding, but it worked like a charm.

Actually, It is Forceware 101.41 now...

...who knows what it will be next week.

Does anyone else find that the compatible cursor option just plain doesn't work?

Works here just fine. But then, I run a 6800 Ultra and only the 32Bit version of Vista.

Ahh, that wasn't mentioned. And no, it is not going to be some magic fix then. It wouldn't matter if its Vista or XP. You still need a true graphics card, Laptop or not. The problem is, you can't add one in to make up for the lack of a dedicate video processing solution ... in this situation. It has to be bought equipped with a true 3D graphics board on the onset, such as one of the 7800 Go cards. The Intel 945s and similar are there to give you basic Windows graphics for regular apps, not high performance RT 3D game-polygon rendering.

If the salesperson tried to tell you, "Bah! You don't need anything more than an Intel Motherboard chip for the video. You can play all your favorite Movies on it!" That is all well and good... considering those movies ARE recorded 2D and flat!

Now there has been recent talks about such laptops running through an outboard 3D graphics 'box' to try and make up for it... but I wouldn't personally put much stock in that as a long-term solution.

I was required to get Vista on my new computer (Windows XP was not an option) and it has ahe Intel 945 Integrated Graphics. I installed the newest Intel drivers and City of Heroes will load but looks 2d.

It is not really a Vista issue. The problem is you don't have any dedicated 'card' for your graphics. Only the dull, flat Intel chip on the mother board.

The solution then, is to buy and add a true PCI-e, 3D graphics card from either an Nvidia name or ATI name, and choose one that won't suffer in performance. Such as an Nvidia 7600GS or higher on the Nvidia side.. or its equivilent on the ATI side. Then you'll be good to go with the Shinies!

Bah! Get back in there. It isn't over till you...

Click.. the Glowie!!

There's probably a hidden '/walk' emote that no one has dug up yet.

I like to Jump into the fray. Hence, many of my Alts have CJ. And it saves wear on my nails.

The average is generally around 4 hours at the Wacom Tablet for each piece. Usually the visual recording is time-compressed down to about 5 minutes of viewing.

I wonder if Nico takes Commissions?

Of course:
Some say the 'John Locke' piece is still the best.

Here's a clearer version! Dang, YouTube compression.

Definitely agree. YouTube could NEVER be a Site considered for presentation-quality of anything.

Hmmm... it would seem Guild Wars has done some decent development work on their /DemoRecord routines.

Oh, come on. Everyone looks good when they're...
Carrying that Super-Soaker 9000!

this one is, 'Baby-Boomer' from Feb. '04. "You go, BOOOOM!!"

I didn't know CoH had pr0n! Did you have to render the screen so... .. .. big? *goes to cool off...*

I agree. I still remember the little plastic sand-pail and shovel I used to carry with her picture on the outside, when I would go off to the beach with the family. It had that sort of wistful expression I remember so well.

I'm pretty sure waaaaaay back in the day, possibly Alpha stage, AR had several different guns that each had to be drawn for a particular power. The supersoaker came about from folks complaining about the draw times.

[/ QUOTE ]

Really? And who were all those folks complaining about it waaaaaay back in Alpha? Could you have meant Beta 1? When I started my AR in Jan. of '04, it was Beta 2, and the Super-Soaking was all we got back then, too.

Here is what she looked like with it. Jan' 04.

Looks like the same Super-Soaker 9000 to me.

lol, i only added the music for those. The signature i would use doesnt have any music, but it looks the same. And im already using the avatar.

Re-frame the Av so that there is no thin, horizontal line stuck across the bottom edge.

Speculation or known-fact? Since I see no *official* confirmation of that platform-release order, I will tend to doubt it for MU:O. My thinking is that if both formats are developed to full completion and retail-sales... MU:0 will be simultaneous (or near simultaneous) multi-platform release.

All this nostalgia, I just have to ask. Does anyone else remember Dawn?

The MMO-killer that never was. At least Horizons *did* go live.. for awhile... *ducks and hides*

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, the game where the Dev/Designer dared to suggest that if your character DIED in PvP combat, it could not be resurrected again in the game. A maddening concept that may have sounded good on paper, but the gaming public would never grasp the consequence in any number. The game never left Alpha-stage, if it even got that far.

My sister dragged me into Uru, and I fell for the gorgeous scenery. The online portion was, however, quite disappointing (and short-lived).

[/ QUOTE ]

Although they have now revived the on-line portion of the UrU project (probably hired better server engineers) and it is back in Beta.

You want to grant him a red-name? Even if he works for the McDonald's regional headquarters in Boise?
