Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) The PC "Help" Thread

some of you may be able to help me ... I need some sort of proggie that can clean out the Pagefile every now and then ... I mean short of rebooting .... anyone know of one ?

that a big task because the page file is an extension of the memory on your hard disk. It would be like clearing your memory when your PC in running. I think the only way to clear the page file is on every reboot. Other options don't jump to mind but let me check my connections.

My mouse when I try to move to toolbar, or the bottum of the page at all, once it goes on the blue bar ( xp ) it goes to the top of the page.

???

Can you explain it again or perhaps a screenshot. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I just restarted and it worked fine, thanks anyways. And I have no clue how to take screenie of my desktop.

Just a sort of error, about Splinter Cell, don't want to go on offical forums.

I try to go into an elevator and press' up' and it crashes and says "general protection error" and every time I do this it happens.

The splinter cell site suppourt sucks, and when I try to install patch it says version number not found!!!

hmm yeah figured that much, thanks anyway Morbo <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

click the printscreen key.
open paint.
paste.

Sounds like a dodgy install. I'd try reinstalling with a full install if possible.

I installed it a while ago, and this is on maybe the 5th level, I'd really like not to go through it all again.

You should be able to keep your saved games.

E-mail me a copy of your DxDiag.txt and I'll see if there are any potential hardware problems.

Click Start/Run...
Type dxdiag and click OK.
Click Save All Information and save it somewhere easily accessable, such as the Desktop.
E-mail the file to hand_e_food@hotmail.com

What part of the information do you need?

Just click Save All Information. It will save all of the pages.

Ahhh.

Mea, are u on WinXP? can't help u (sorry!) in thar case. but i know in Win9x, u can sort of disable paging in favour of maximising the use of the physical memory (RAM). this is only good if u have 256MB or more.

wish i can help more. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

winXp recognice the wrong tv capture card.
unfortinaly, everytime i reboot, Xp automaticly installs drivers for thaa card i don't have!

Windows XP and Tv tuner cards == hell on earth. (personal exp)

Just bought a new motherboard agp x8 and Graphics card, geforce thingy agp x8

Every thing is up and running now expect the AGP port. It's in PCI mode.

The direct X dialog says that AGP is not available.

I've installed the AGP drivers that came with the card.

Card and motherboard are full compatible (from same vendor).

Is it something in the BIOS that I need to do to enable AGP?

Splinter Cell - the first game featuring the "third eye".

For sure i know that it is able to set the speed of the AGP Port in the BIOS.
But to change betwen PCI and AGP <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> i don`t know.
But this is not difficult to find out. Just look in your BIOS if you start your PC.
In every Bios exist an option to set the BIOS on the default settings, so you cant really make a mistake.
