Well, helping from pirating their software is a fail.

Re: [Audyssey] Crysis!
Hi William, Well, that was true until the release of Windows 7. So far I've found Windows 7 is an extremely impressive Windows release. It is easily as good as Mac OS in terms of stability, reliability, and performance. Almost all of the major problems we saw with Vista such as driver problems, annoying user account control issues, system lag, etc have been corrected in Windows 7. I think many current XP users will be in for a very nice surprise when they eventually go to Windows 7. I truly believe Mac OS, and Linux for that matter, are in for some serious competition from Windows 7. william lomas wrote: windows users always have problems, glad i went to mac --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Crysis!
Hi Dark, Well, your problem isn't multiple user accounts. I use several on my systems with out issue. The root and source of your problems is the Windows registry. Which, as it happens, is one of the major problems with Windows in general. One major feature that sets Windows apart from FreeBSD, Linux, and Mac OS is the registry. All of the default settings for programs are stored in a central registry, and as a result if your registry gets damaged, as it often does, it can easily bring down the entire operating system with it. One way to prevent this from happening is to purchase and regularly use a registry repair tool such as Registry Mechanic that performs weekly repairs on the Registry. If you don't the results can be extremely desasterous indeed. So one thing I would ask you is do you have a registry repair tool, and do you use it regularly if you do? If you don't I highly suggest, recommend, that you find and purchase one for use in the future. Your Windows OS will operate much better if you perform regular repairs on the registry.

Re: [Audyssey] Crysis!
Hi, No operating system is full proof. Mac OS and Linux both have frequent security updates, and security is often what you make it. Even Windows can be fairly secure provided the end user running it is remotely security concious and compitent. If not he or she is likely at faultfor opening the system to attacks. Not saying this is always the case, but I've personally seen it enough to know it is true. I've seen it all from not keeping their antivirus up to date, running always as admin, using very weak passwords, a poor firewall, and the list goes on. It probably isn't very nice to say so, but there are some very stupid people out there when it comes to basic computer security. HTH Constantine wrote: Couldn't agree more. Also come now, macs are catching up in terms of security threats, so you can't say your mac is foolproof any more. And finally, have you seen windows seven?

Re: [Audyssey] Crysis!
Hi, Well, the registry is one of Microsoft's biggest mistakes. If you lose the registry you pretty much lose the entire ball of wax. With Linux every program, including the operating system, stores settings in *.conf files. As long as you make a back up of the conf file in question before editing it chances are you can easily recover and fix whatever changes you made. Most of the time changing one conf file won't result in nuking the entire operating system. Although, there are certain conf files you could screw up the entire operating system with if you weren't careful.

Re: [Audyssey] Crysis!
Hi Dark, Before performing the system restore did you by chance make a restore point to go back to just in case the system restore failed? If so you should go in to system restore and select the latest restore point you have and try and undo some of the changes made by the system restore. As for fixing Outlook Express that is a fairly easy problem to resolve. All you needed to do was go to the Microsoft web site and download the Internet Explorer setup and reinstall Internet Explorer 7 or 8. After that it should install Outlook Express. P.S. Ever thought about using Mozilla Thunderbird? It is much safer and more secure than Outlook Express and works fairly well with Jaws 10 and Window Eyes 7.11. HTH dark wrote: Hi.

Re: [Audyssey] Crysis!
Hi tom. I initially tried to restore things to a restore point created yesterday afternoon, that was what caused the problem. I've just tried to restore to a point created on the 28th of september, - and exactly the same thing has happened. as for backing up the registry, this is something I've actually never done, in fact I always assumed system restore would sort that type of thing out. I personally never muck about with the registry at all. anymore suggestions? Beware the grue! dark. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, October 10, 2009 8:02 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Crysis! Hi Dark, Before performing the system restore did you by chance make a restore point to go back to just in case the system restore failed? If so you should go in to system restore and select the latest restore point you have and try and undo some of the changes made by the system restore. As for fixing Outlook Express that is a fairly easy problem to resolve. All you needed to do was go to the Microsoft web site and download the Internet Explorer setup and reinstall Internet Explorer 7 or 8. After that it should install Outlook Express. P.S. Ever thought about using Mozilla Thunderbird? It is much safer and more secure than Outlook Express and works fairly well with Jaws 10 and Window Eyes 7.11. HTH dark wrote: Hi.

Re: [Audyssey] Crysis!
aah you don't need to fix that removal with a system restore, its in the add windows setup components I have seen it its like a seperate item. if its checked, uncheck and then recheck it gagain and it should work.

Re: [Audyssey] Crysis!
Hi Dark, I will outline the steps you will need to take, if you can use that (secondary) user account to full capacity: 1. Since Outlook Express is part of the Internet Explorer 6 package, you will have to install Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, or in your case you may have to downgrade from IE 7 or 8. Here is the link to download Internet Explorer + Outlook Express 6.0 SP 1 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.mspx 2. SSave the download and try to run it on the secondary user account. Lets hope this works... (And do not, fiddle around with anything during the install/downgrade process :-p) Hope this helps.

Re: [Audyssey] Crysis!
Hi Dark, Ouch! That really is a serious problem, and one kind of hard to fix via e-mail. Without actually standing there looking at your system it is pretty hard to say what is wrong, give advice and or solutions, when I can't eyeball the status of your system firsthand. I'm sure there is probably a solution here, but never the less it may be easier to reformat the system. A good product recovery doesn't hurt now and then anyway. It just means you are starting out with a fresh install, clean registry, and whatever is screwing up your system restores will be hopefully fixed. If you can't or don't want to do a product recovery you'll have to find someone over there to try and reverse the problem. HTH dark wrote: Hi tom.

Re: [Audyssey] Crysis!
Hi Dark, Okay...That's something of a big problem. I know you said you don't have an XP cd, but do you have a product recovery partition on your hard drive? I ask because most new computers don't come with installation disks any more. With my Compaq laptop I have to install Vista from a product recovery partition already present on the laptop's hard drive. There is an option to burn it to a cd or dvd, but by and large it is done by starting up the computer and running the install from a hard drive partition. If not it might be helpful to get a copy of XP for just these kinds of emergencies. dark wrote: I'd really rather not reformat if I can avoid it, not the least because I don't have a windows xp disk and it'd mean taking my computer 100 miles back to Nottingham to get it done. as for user accounts, I hate! the things, sinse every single problem my pc has ever had has derived from them.
