Congratulations CJ.

Good idea. A restore function will be a most wanted, I'm sure.

You're right RAF. I see the abstention numbers raising with which new election. That's the most civil basic thing to do, to vote and choose your representatives. When I question people why they don't go the electoral urns and vote , their reply is always the same, that they don't trust anymore in the politicians and their vote won't change a thing. I asked then why not to vote in white, at least it means something that you do care. But no, they prefer to take a walk, go to the beach or whatever. I'm so ashame of my people. I'm from the time, though I was very younger, where there was a dictatorship ruling my country (for 48 years), and you couldn't vote freely. I will never forget the first democratic elections, there was a run to local ballots. With time, this urge has vanished and was replaced by laziness. When this kind of things happen I know what History tells. Corruption and greed raises. And then to clean all this mess a brand new dictatorship will rise. This lack of interest in our civic duties acts like a cancer in our democratic system.

Thanks for sharing.

It was the French. I love that movie.

Great advice, as usual, BirdDog.

As usual great video Jammer.

Great video Mike. I real like it. Our video directors are becoming better.

Glad to know everything is working now, RAF.

Your card is recent than any 4xxx series. But a top card like 4870 or 4890 can only be beaten by a 5850 and above. Of course 4xxx don't have DX11 support. But that's not important for most games. 1. I don't believe you'll have a better performance with OFF. But no harm in trying. Don't forget also to try and set to low the Ground Object Density. You don't loose so many visual quality and it will help you a lot in some scenaries. Also put the CCC to performance instead quality and try AI catalyst. 5 there and another 5 there it's 10. It can make a whole difference.

I think Barkhorn1x doesn't have two graphic cards, no crossfire. IMHO I think you've a problem with your computer... it's unbalanced. The CPU it's powerful enough. But ATI 5670 it's just an entry level for gaming. In my opinion to weak to play with that sliders. Olham's graphic card, if I'm right, it's a ATI 4870, which is more powerful than yours. So you've to cut down in your sliders. I suggest something like 443343. Disable shadows in config. In the workshop I'd set the Ground Object Density to Low. In CCC I'd set everything for Performance (not High Performance) instead Quality; You can try enable ATI Catalyst AI to Standard or Advanced, it gives some FPS boost in some games.

Choice of two operative systems at boot. I've XP and Win7.

The combination of hardware, software and user makes PC gaming a complex experience. I had until a couple weeks ago a E8500@3.16Ghz, ATI 4890 and 4GB DDR2. The game was running better in Windows 7 than in XP. More FPS and much smoother. Now I've a I5 750@2.8Ghz, ATI 4890 and 4GB DDR3 and now is running better in XP than in Win7 with the same settings. I still have more fps in Win7 but it's smoother in XP. Even when I overclock to 3.4ghz I've the same kind of experience in Win7. So it's not CPU related. I think that in my case it's related to TrackIR. But the funny thing it's that TrackIR is working well in other games. So... you can see how things are not always straightforward. It's a pity you don't have a dual boot. I think, more than ever, it's essential to have a dual boot to play games in PC.

Not at all. It runs pretty well with my ATI4890. I think your biggest problem is called VISTA, not your hardware.

I've a I5 750 and I can assure you that I don't have any problems with OFFBHaH. Your CPU is a Lynnfield like mine, only you've hyperthreading capability and mine don't. What might happen is that, with hyperthreading enabled in BIOS, some applications/games might not used and have under performance. OFF might be the case or not. You'll have to try for yourself. But it's easy it's a question of entering in the BIOS and enabling or disabling that function. But one of the good things about the Lynnfield's processors, its the ability to use the Intel Turbo Boost Technolgy. Which in a non multi-core applications/games like OFF, will induce a reasonable boost in performance. At least it's what my experience tells. This technology must be enabled in BIOS. But depending in the motherboards, you might have to enable other options in BIOS, in order to Intel Turbo Boost work correctly. Maybe I can help you here.

Indeed.

Just follow the Check Six tutorial.

I don't remember where precisely in the CCC you'll see it'sversion. I know it's there somewhere. But just download the last version, which is the previewB. When you install CCC it will examine your driver/components and only install the ones which are newer.

Probably you've to change the folder options to see hidden and system files. http://www.techtalkz.com/windows-7/516050-how-change-folder-options-windows-7-a.html

I'm not at home so I don't know for sure. But it's somewhere... C:\Users\UserName\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\OFF folder

I believe it also. But each rig may vary. Look my example. I had an E8500@ 3.16Ghz and OFF was running better in Win7 than in XP. Now I've a I5 750@2.66 and OFF runs better in XP than in Win7. What is curious is that I've better fps in Win7 but less smoothness. If I OC the processor to 3.4Ghz I still have the same problem. I think it's TrackIR related. But I try TrackIR with other games or simulators and works well with win7. Only OFF has the problem. At least my XP seems to be running OFF better than ever.

You didn't followed the American elections in 2008, Olham. Probably it was the last thing I followed thoroughly in the news. I had some hopes back there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_the_Plumber

Nice video Olham.

10.3 previewB are out. They don't rest.

Sorry but not being an American, who is that Barry? If you write the second name I'll google it.
