also noticed,,,in the "intergrated periphials Menu" section of the bios,,,there is a "usb config" option.... from that option, you can enable or disable usb keyboard support... know you tried both a usb and ps2 keyboard,,,,but maybe the ps2 keyboard is bad....

lol..ok,,,that thru me,,, did you find the halt on setting in the bios,,,and change it to "all except keyboard" curious, are you doing raid? (cause that caused me all sorts of grief on mine,,,)

sorry,,,a bit confused,,, thout you where halting on a post message......if windows is starting, then the computer has posted succesfully..... Going to assume that you loaded windows on this computer? If so, then you must have gotten to the point where you got "press any key to boot from cd"....... If all this is true,,your posting ok,,and that 08 is just what stays in the led's.....so,,its not a posting error,,its something else,,,, Can you let me know just how far along in the windows installattion you got?

Had to set intro videos on to help someone with a problem, and just for the hell of it,,,watched it again,,,probably only the second time ive seen it since i got the game... But its a pretty amazing assortment of fraps,,,,and well worth revisiting.... And forgotten how nice that intro music is too...

Looking at it quick, it appears that if a session is scheduled, with no specific host, then anyone willing to host the session will have to add another event to the same day, indicating that they will host. Dont think anyone can edit someone elses event on the calander. It should work,,,as anyone clicking on that day will see all the entries made for that day... (the kids are in the back,,,going,,,,,arewethereyet,,,arewethereyet,,,,arewethereyet....)

i asked that same question, and its a pretty obvious answer,,,,,,,,,eventually some knucklhead will come in and post something inappropriate,,,,and while it may seem lousy that everyone must suffer, its just the way it is... I cant see the delay involved here being anything more than one day, so if we use the calander for the purpose I interpret it to be used (sheduled sessions,,,not "on a whim" sessions)...would think that over time we would get used to having to put anything we need/want to put up with enought advance that they are posted with enough time for ppl to see.. just as a test,,i am going to put in an entry for a session, and see if i can edit that entry to indicate that i am willing to host the session.. hey,,thout u where on vacation...

there is a bios setting there...called halt on....you can set it to halt on all errors except keyboard,,,,that might let it continue on....... and saw the 08 post on the manual... but,,,even if you start the computer without a keyboard,,,that should not stop the computer from posting... if anything,,,you should get a message like.."keyboard error...hit f1 to continue"..or something like that...but you would get that AFTER it posted.... it should not halt the post.....

will post anything i find,, this one seems to indicate memory,,not keyboard http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=333333

Ok..thanks.. I dont think you would be wasting your time if you called your isp, and asked them if they felt the speeds you are getting are in line with the service they are supposed to be providing.. But a 270 ms ping for a speedtest site near you is incredibly bad....should be in the low dbl digits..

OVS...been a while since i dug this stuff out,,,but,,,i have 2 roms for superbreakout...one is a .bin file,,,,and the other is an .a52 file.... I got a bunch of emulators...seems like most of them will emulate the 5200, but none of them open the .a52 file... and one called jump,,,or something close to that opens the .bin file,,but its too small in normal view...and a pain to find all the options in full screen.. what emulator do you use for 5200 bin files,,,,and do you have anything that opens a52 files? just on memory alone,,i think i used an emulator called x200...but we are going back a ways,,,could be wrong.. i know i have something that works,,cause i used to play this game alot,,,just cant remeber how i used to do it..

Was hoping that (if possible) anyone posting games on a regular basis, could be givne whatevver permissions are necessary to put up a calander post. Im looking forward to a scenario where sessions are sceduled, but then we need ppl to post that they are willing to host a specific session on a specific date,.. By this i mean if we have team dogfights scheduled every tuesday evening, in addition to putting the event on the calander, we need to be able to have ppl add in that they will host it.....the ip, etc etc. I think the forum is the best place for "spontaneous" (spelling????) games, where someone decides they have the time to throw something up quick that nite, and the calander is better suited for games that will be played 3..4..days in advance..or every tues.. ovs said he should be able to keep up with the requests,,,just dont think its fair to expect him (or anyone else for that matter) to be checking whatever it is he has to check every half hour to see if someone put something up.. and there are ppl on the other side of the world that will hopefully be using this, so those posts will be going up when we are all in bed.....

The "normal" way of doing it, would be to get in thru the off manager, select the missions option, and when you get to the "active pilot for duty" window, go to where the missions are listed..scroll to the bottom, and select custome missions available,,,only problem is that it hangs for almost everyone doing this. alternative is ...from the off manager, select multiplayer,,,from the active pilot for duty window scroll to the bottom again, and select the custome missions available again. Next screen give you 2 medals..one multiplayer, one mission. Selecting the mission medal gives you a flyout with three tabs,,,,training,,qc, and something else,,and these give you the contents of the historical, training and what if missions folders...forget what tab gives you what folder... but,,,it is easier to just put it allll in training...

will be on to help any new players. am on teamspeak now, and have a game up.... if you need info on teamspeak, it is in the mp tuturial sticky in this forum session is down will only be able to play if no one has any issues that need to be resolved

Glad to see you got it fixed vasco. And will tuck that piece of info into the data base... Homeboy, thanks for helping,,,knew i could count on you.. lol....and vasco,,no online squads yet, but gotta belive its in the future eventually... If you want, i am running a mp tuturial tonight at 730. Gotta have teamspeak and a mic all the details for teamspleak are in the mp tuturial stick in the mp section of the forum

ras,,,did you happen to do that speed test yet on the other computers? Dont know how taxing fsx is on your internet. And sorry if you were trying to connect to me...all i did is start the game,,,and didnt start flying at my end (u can usually join at that point) but the game crashed eventurally. I do have a game up, if you want to try and join, but still would be intererestd to see if all your computers are getting the same numbers on speed test.

think its the 5200 emulator for atari,,at least for the game i play...could be we are just thinking about different games,,,,but dont think breakout was on the 2600...could be wrong

lol... dont think u understand,,,this is just an off intro screen,,,he is not into the game yet...

them's fighting words.............

I think moving them to training folder is the easiest way...

ras and hauksbee, am on teamspeak now...will watch screen, so if i dont reply right away,,give me a few..

Been working with a couple pilots that have been having problems getting into multiplayer. As i have always had all my intro videos/oprions etc etc disabled in both the off manager, and in my cfs3config, when they would start describing the various intro screens they saw as the game came up, i wasnt paying that much attention. But one pilot kept on seeing a plane crash as his multiplayer window was opening, which, from the days of when i did have videos/intro options enabled, didnt sound corret. So i enabled all my videos and other intro options, and started multiplayer, and all i get is a screen with a plane on the airfield...no animation at all.. all of this can be seen in better detail at this thread http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...mp;#entry302189 If anyone can take the time to get into mp with the following proceedure, and let me know what screen they get when they get to the point the have the multiplayr and the mission medal, i would really appreciate it.. note, this will not serve any purpose to me if you have your intro options disabled. start from your obd over flanders field shortcut > seletct multiplayer > from the active pilot for duty screen, use the mission dropdown at the bottom and select any turkey shoot mission > you should eventually get the framed picture of the 3 pilots exiting the barrocks, and eventually you will come to a screen with a mission medal and a multiplayer medal on the left. I need to know what you are seeing in the background. Is it any kind of animation, or is it just a plane on an airfield.. and, if the animation is in error, and anyone has a clue what might be going on, would appreciate a hint... thanks in advance

am getting on around 7ish to help ras,,,and yes,,we use the same teamspeak, unless it appears prudent to create a new channel like we did the other day. Im gonna throw this "screen vrs animation" think out in the general forum, as i dont have a clue which is the right one, but im leaning towards mine,,,i dont think your suppose to see anything other than the field,,,kinda like when cfs3 starts up,,and you got that guy on one knee....

ok...went and enables all my intro videos and such,,,and when getting into multiplayer from the off manager, after i select a mission, i get this screen. But there is no animation of any kind,,,the plane just sits there with the engine stopped. Are you saying (and i belive ras is saying the same thing) when you get to this screen, whatever plane u see tries to take off?
