So? I did a huge sh*t in the toilet, told people about it, they said it was inappropriate. You don't see me making threads about it. WTF is wrong with you? It's not even interesting. "omg someone saw tubchick and said it's not appropriate - call the papers and post threads about this exciting...

So you want more Half-life, but DON'T want to play the episodes. Are you some new sort of moron? The episodes basically ARE HL3, but spilt into 3 or 4 parts, so you don't need to wait 4 years before they can finish it and you can start playing it.

Episode 2 section. Use it.

The best sound cards are the Christmas ones. Most of them play jingle bells for hours, and they have a nice message in them so you can just sign "from _ _ _ _ _ _". Only $4.99 around Christmas time. I love being helpful. You're welcome.

That's what I keep saying...

Indeed. Also, why did he pose that combine SO awkwardly? Why is it half turned, with a gun (missing any textures for some reason) stuck in front of it as if it was being put on an invisible gun rack? With one hand. THAT was such a masterpiece he thought he would share it with the rest of...

Damn. I was just going to make a post pointing that out, although with more sarcasm and mocking.

Nah, Phoenix was being a dick.

He was a king or some crap I think. There apparently is a statue of him in Hawaii somewhere. Just Google it. I can't be arsed.

And has hijacked someone else's thread. That was posted in the wrong section anyway. And is still not a discussion that is likely to find any help in this section.

Meh. The guy is an idiot, and just trolling. Llama and Stigmata have basically covered the details, so there's no need to re-hash, but it was pretty obvious right from the start. There IS NO "study" this guy is doing - at least for his sake I hope not, as it would be a monumental failure. Going...

Both are acceptable. It depends what country you are from. You must be one of those people that forgets there are other countries on this planet, with slightly different ways of doing things. Check your facts properly before you try to tell someone they are wrong, or you just end up looking foolish.

Re-format. You should have done it when you installed the new CPU. Then follow the check-list. Your drivers are not functioning as they should, and won't until you re-format. Re-format. Re-format. Re-format. Re-format. Re-format. Re-format. Re-format. Re-format. Re-format. Re-format. Re-format...

Actually, PC's DO get slower and slower over time because (partly) of the OS. It gets filled with crap in the registry (mainly) that takes longer and longer to sort through, etc, blah blah. Defragging certainly helps too, but only so much. A re-format can do WONDERS for performance etc - you...

We were both adding / moving SATA drives, and both ended up with the hal.dll error, without adding / removing any software, or even having the damn PC on. I get paid to build PC's, so I know what I'm doing, and what I'm talking about. Don't be so quick to dismiss other peoples assessments.

Hot swapping is a load of crap. That is exactly what happened to me once. I forgot to unplug from the wall etc, unplugged my SATA drive, plugged it back in, and suddenly "hal.dll is missing or corrupt".

I know how you did it. You unplugged/plugged in a drive while your PC was still plugged in to the wall. You're screwed, and will need to re-format and re-install XP.

You didn't re-format after putting your new CPU in, did you. You need to. Also, follow THIS exactly for best performance with a dual core AMD BEFORE re-formatting. OK, I couldn't find the link, but here is what I saved as a file on my HD (not my work): IN ORDER: Physically install the CPU...

Dumber and dumber. You were obviously adopted.

You know "for sure"? BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAaaaaaaa. Well, like your spelling - you're WRONG.
