    When my motherboard packed up i took my PC to a private shop in town, they charged me a 5er to look at it and find the problem, and think it was another 15 to install the motherboard. they didnt reinstall xp, as id asked them, they just had to change some files. but i dont know which ones. so it IS possible. i just dont know how.

    What are the new features of ArmA?

    the best implementation of moving in vehicles ive seen (ive not yet played BF2142) was in Joint Ops a online game, you could stand ont he sides of little birds and jump off them at will, or alternatively sit on them. was Brillian in UH60s when ud have people sat down and stood up and all firing from the vehicles at the same time, I do wish theyd implemented this in ARMA would have been awsum!

    Im pritty sure there isnt a AGP version of the 3870. Im looking for a new motherboard as mine has had it:( im trying to find one that is future proof and will work with my current set up. Basically i want one that works with Pentium D and Duel/Quad cores, and DDR2 and DDR3 tech. also 2 PCI-e Slots so that if i do so wish in the future i can have 2 ATi GPUs in Crossfire. looking at many websites i can see that many motherbaords say SLi certified, and was wondering do motherbaords have to be crossfire certified to work in a crossfire setup?

    you understand that the vatican is the most wealthy place on the planet right? it didnt get that wealth from asking for money. and a genuine religion what defines that? you cant prove that any of them exist, just like you cant prove that pheatons (or what ever scientologist call them these days, what happend to zenu?) exist. Id hate to throw the flying space teapot into the mix, or the flying spagetti monster. just because scientology is based on a scientific authors thoughts doenst make it less of a religion, most of the 'Genuine' Religions may have been inspired of drug enduced visions of moses. Like i said before im not defending scientology, i agree that it goes about its practices in the wrong way. Christianity and many other 'Genuine' religions went about them in the medieval ages, ever heard of the inquisition? i did say most of them not all, i accept that there were religious people there as you are correct many of them fled to america to escape religious persecution. the church isnt directly intervening in the governemnt, but powerful religious lobbys in do get alot of sway in america, look at the abortion issue or the banning of homosexual marrage. and the greatest quote of all 'God Bless America'. The fathers i was talking about are James Maddeson, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, im sure there are more but these men were definatly diests and can be argued that their writings in letters imply that they are athiests. anyway we are getting a little OT. I hope Anonymous get some success, This will be a interesting matter to watch.

    i feel like im going to get flamed for this but while we are ahving a interlectually stimulating debate... Scientollogy does the exact same things that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam do, they brainwash you into believing something that you cant prove and ask for your money in return. and them targeting people who bad mouth them is just what all the other churches of the world do. Atheists in america are afraid to stand up and say they are due to the hostile feeling they get off some people for example. im not defending them, just pointing something out. and as for infiltrating the US government, christianity did that along time ago. I believe that most of the founding fathers were Atheists and through reading the constitution it seems to be a rather secular text. something went wrong in america.

    i had the exact same problem too. however it stopped reading CDs at a certain point to. now when i tried to reinstall windows the installation stopped part of the way through. i assume as the CD drive just stopped working. i ended up borrowing someone else's CD drive then reinstalling windows then buying a new drive. what i think ull find is that most programs like arma will only use the DVD to detect that it is there. they wont look for it again. so you turn your computer on and start playing straight away. then you turn it off 6 hours later. for me my drive may have been damaged for months and i not noticed. Some people think this is however a securom bug, something about it not being compatible with many brands of CD drives and it damages them. good luck with getting it to work, i can only tell you of my personal experience on this matter. on a personal note. my GPU appears to have just died on me. every time i start a game it reboots the computer. my budget for a new card is 60 pounds unless i can get this repaired under warrenty. so i think im looking at a X1650 again or a 2600. is there a clear difference between these two cards which one is better? both have 512 memory. also any problems with arma on these GPUs? also is thermal paste supposed to be hard or soft? ie it rubs off?

    wow dude. cant wait to play on this. was considering looking into map creation and a middle east style island. got some maps of basra and baghdad and wanted to look into making them. hopefully arma 2 will support much larger cities or towns than the current arma does. good look with your project. ps extended to infinity? always wondered if that was possible. cant wait to see this! regards. john

    Im not sure but map to map jumps would be impossible in armed assault. you would have to be able to load another mission file within a mission and carrying over all your settings, Ie troops and weapons. In the OFP mod some people created massive maps that had many, many small islands on them with different themes. so missions could take you to any of the worlds at the same time. this overridden the need to load a different island map. probably do the same for ArmA at some point. i not looked into island editing yet but i know someone who may be able to help us. to couter-act the horrible ArmA lod loading bug when you reach the other side of the gate would it be possible to begin to load the the other side of the gate while the vortex sequence begins? thus avoiding a more prolonged loading times? @xav - from what i can gather from the series the atlantis gates were made by the "Ancients" and the milkyway gates by the "gatebuilders" as the atlantis ones were made after the gatebuilders they are more advanced and dont have the spinning element of the gate, instead the flying light glyps.:D thats what i thought anyway.
