Default Re: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

Now know of some Windows 7 systems this was used on, again all fixed.
Might be worth adding a second download for SPWW2 or saying need to edit what it points to in notepad for it to work as some people dont seem to realise.

I'm back.

My previous Win7 rig died a horrible and unexpectedly untimely death (motherboard fried and took the RAM, CPU, and GPU with it).
There is no RMA on used rigs...


===

New weapon:

Win7Pro64.
EVGA P55 mobo/Intel I7 875K 4GHz unlocked CPU (first ever liquid cooled for me)
4GB Corsair RAM (expanding to 8GB when I find the money)
Single EVGA 470GTX 1.3GB overclock
Thermaltake TR2RX 850watt PSU
All wrapped in a brand new jet black Coolermaster Haf+ 922 mid-tower.
Still using the same Samsung 906bw monitor and the same five internal hard drives ( moment they're 320GB each, not 250GB).
Lightscribe and LabelTag 24x DVD's.

$1100 (or 850 78rpm records out of my album collection)

===

Pending work schedules I'll be back to testing the DL version sometime next week. Hoping to find the Paypal cash to order the real version before Christmas.

HAPPY
HOLIDAYS
Y'ALL,
R

You ain't kidding. With two dead rigs in seven months...

I also installed a new breaker panel for my office. Each outlet now has its own 60amp breaker and all of the outlets are now GFCI. (Ok...I paid somebody else to do that part)

I'm self-employed and these rigs aren't just gaming rigs, they're my lifeline and primary money maker (hence the large drive space). The last thing I need is yet another unpaid three week vacation.

===

Ran a quick test from a thumbdrive DL copy. Samesame, guess its back to square one on the testing. But if I can fill the screen with the full version that should help my eyes.

The proper resolution to most problems is maximum available firepower.

RELOADING,

That does smart nice replacement though, chuck a few more inputs at it mainly USB & top machine.
Easy solution is buy the game the Desktop patch works a treat.
At start up I decide whether to run fullscreen or if working set it to fill about 80% of it so I can keep an eye on whats going on.
Your machine will hardly notice its running & if what you do uses a lot of memory recomend upgrading fast. Surprises me how much faster machines run if you are using less than about 70% memory most of the time its a cheap speed up. Or at least worked that way for me.
