Piecemeal

And there was me til 2am this morning trying to sort this sh*t out. Never thought of using Notepad! Installing games now as I type. Downside of Windows 10 - more of a pain in the ass the more I get to dislike it - just like my ex wife

OK, so here's the deal with my dilemma. I'm currently setting up my new desktop with the programs and apps that I had in the old one. I want to install the SF2 series that I purchased but here's the problem: The default Windows Mail app on Windows 10 has no settings function for me put in the POP3/SMTL settings, etc., from my broadband provider. The only thing I have relating to my purchases on ThirdWire are some .eml files on a USB stick but as I can't access my provider e-mail address I can't download and install any ThirdWire games or DLCs that I purchased! I've also contacted support@thirdwire.com but have received no reply as yet. Anybody got ideas?

I've got a lot of work on my hands over the coming weeks. Essentially I'm going to have to start from scratch and re-download most if not all the mods I had in my SF2 install. I'm also thinking about getting DCS World as I've watched a lot of YouTube videos and it seems damn impressive, even if the learning curve is pretty steep. There'll also have to be the obligatory control stick, throttle and rudder pedals to buy.

Not sure, as I don't have access to it until I get myself a USB keyboard, but it's got an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4 GB GDDR5) graphics card

Greetings all!!! Any day now I'm due to be back in the land of the gaming. I've finally been able to purchase a new gaming rig after my old 'un got fried in a power surge last year. Good news is; I've been able to splash out on a reasonably high spec PC Specialist Vortex Fusion II unit with: * Windows 10 64-bit * Overclocked Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor * 4.6 Ghz Quad Core with 8mb cache * 16Gb DDR4 RAM * 2Tb Main Drive w/ 240Gb SSD drive Unfortunately It doesn't come with a wireless LAN card. I managed to obtain a Ralink RT61 Turbo Wireless LAN Card but I'm not sure if it'll be compatible with the new rig. Does anybody know if it is? Also, it appears that my old PS2 keyboard is not compatible with Windows 10, but strangely enough, it was working just fine when I set it up initially after turning it on for the first time. Looks like a USB keyboard is my only option here, so it'll be Friday at the earliest until that gets sorted. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning that has no batteries for his toys!!

Makes me shiver when you consider the fact that I was watching the exact same aircraft perform the exact same manoeuvres here in Shannon about three weeks ago. Condolences to all the affected families......

I managed to completely solve that problem before with all of the airbases in mountainous regions without having to move them. I think it was done via some INI file editing for the tiles in question. Unfortunately I lost EVERYTHING on my desktop when it was fried in a power surge some months back. This tiles issue is a pain in the arse but it is fixable with only minor adjustments. Sorry I can't be of more help to you guys.

I'm not one to take chances, so I'm going to top up on Paypal next Friday and download all the SF2 series and DLCs that I lost recently. Personally, if I were you I'd do the same and grab FE while it's still there. We'd be kicking ourselves if they were taken down.

RIP. May your final flight be a peaceful one.

ALLAHU SNAK BAR? There must be a lotta Star Wars fans there. I was just waiting for one of them to shout:

That sucks DMT; I know EXACTLY how you feel, having lost my desktop as well as a household appliance in a power surge. F**king water meter installers working in the street not only ruptured the water mains pipe, but also the power mains cables which were (stupidly) placed next to it. Also (stupidly ) it just so happened that my backup drive was plugged in at the time. After an examination by my brother I was given the news that it's a total wipeout of everything. Years worth of mods, photos, videos and MP3s. The only recyclable part being the drive unit frame which I might use to rebuild a new one. Currently borrowing by nephew in-law's laptop (when he's not using it ). The rest of the time it's my android mobile

So we've got through another silly season - which is more than I can say for my gaming rig, which became victim to a local power surge (along with half of the other electrical appliances in the house). Anyways; here was me thinking the missus would be delighted with a new refrigerator for Xmas - "pahhh", says she. A new, bigger, 52" TV smoothed things a little bit, but I still only got no gravy on my dinner with small portions and a small glass of wine with it. Sooooo, ehmmmm, with my birthday coming up next month and as I type this yuletide message from the awkwardness of my android mobile, I wonder - what are my chances of getting a new gaming rig? Something tells me as she sits next to me watching a re-run of 'Law & Order', that maybe I'm being a little too optimistic. Hmmmmmm indeed. Anyways, as I think of my gaming rig in IT heaven, allow me to wish all of you a merry Christmas and hope you all have a prosperous new year.

Belated birthday greetings to the Falconman!!

Don't you mean former republic, MB? Ireland is at this stage no more than a subservient province of the EU empire (politically, at least). The Scottish people need to ensure that if independence is voted for, to make sure they don't allow themselves to fall into the same trap as we did with the EU.

Jeeeeezuz!!! Had to look twice there. I thought at first it was a grizzly bear

Would sir care for some cream and sugar with that? (Translate: Haría señor como la crema y el azúcar con eso?)

And while we're at it; would somebody out there pleeeease make me a BLT with chips on the side? Even viewing all these requests are making me hungry

Hummmph; bloody show off!!!

I always wondered how Dhimari F-4s would look in the Asia-minor scheme

I've discovered through a lot of trial and error that the best way to score a hit (without your Harpoon diving for the sea) is to climb to between 2,500 and 3,000 feet, raise your nose about ten degrees and then shoot. More often than not I've gotten a kill by using this method.

Been There, got the t-shirt. I know what your going through right now. I won't bore you with the details of my past health problems only to wish you a speedy recovery, raven.
