[ ] check out some of those sites of LOTR, incl those cool ancient sculptures of kings of middle earth
[ ] meet up w/the all the freakish ozi/kwaz/nz poker crowd
[ ] check out the game of the crickets

also pls help me with my list with suggestions. I will trust 2p2 to keep track of this when I finally have the moneys/time in 20 yrs...

ugh, i know that i keep bother y'all with my computer problems, but i just gave you sweet pics from greece.

gib, vy good pshop. holla

okay, so my continuing problems w/ skype, etc. now i can only run skype and ftp in safe mode w/ networking (through a tunnnel). don't know why, but the tunnel program will not recognize my running the program under normal mode. obv, i need to talk with the tech support people for the program, but they are being unhelpful.

running ftp is fine in safe mode w/, but the problem w/ skype is that the audio and mic drivers don't load in safe mode.

is there some way to manually load these? i've tried google, and the best i got was a cryptic:

Yes, you could manually load the drivers in a command prompt if you knew what to do.

i only have about a week left here, but would prefer not to spend all my money on minutes for my cell.

thanks so much.

Standard. Especially if Villain is one of those goobers who didn't realize he's in a limit tourney and donks off his chips as fast as possible.

lolol. i forgot all about this particular "feature" of dos and dos-derived products.

it's kinda like how my bff's xbox 360 suffered catastrophic failure (the Red Ring of Death!!!) and now he has to wait 4-6 weeks for MS to send him a new one even though their retarded hardware is at fault. like, the 360 might be the best gaming console for a variety of reasons, but it's still a microsoft product, and you still have to put up with all their bulllshit, and it's still not really worth it.

Yes, you could manually load the drivers in a command prompt if you knew what to do.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

This goes back to the old days of DOS and DOS+Win3.x...even Win95 to a degree. Drivers used to be loaded at boot time in a file called config.sys, and programs run in a file called autoexec.bat. This has all been incorporated into the System Registry and related Windoze startup files, now. Safe Mode doesn't load those things, but it allows you to provide a config.sys and autoexec.bat to load drivers.

One problem is that the other thing that doesn't load is memory management, so even if you successfully load the drivers for your hardware you will frequently be unable to run the programs you want because there's not enough low memory left. Another is that, as the above quote implies, legacy (or "real mode") drivers for your hardware might not even exist; you might be able to use a driver from a previous incarnation of the same hardware, but it's pretty hard to tell what works without trial and error. [censored] like that.

If I had your computer and a couple of free hours to work on it, I could probably get everything working for you, but it would be at best buggy and at worst too unstable to use. Trust me when I tell you that you could spend the next week fighting with it and not get it to work to a point where it's worth the time you've spent.

Give the Tech Support from your tunneling software a chance to solve the problem (did you actually pay for that software?), but if they can't then it's definitely +EV for you to just eat the cell charges and move on with your life.
