Hi Jason,

Yeah, guess I have been pretty darn lucky with not ever having any hard drive 
crashes.  Don't know why I've burnt up the CPU a few times.  Actually I do, but 
never mind.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for sharing with me what works for you on your computers.

You know I have been running one computer or another since 1980.  I have never 
had a virus, never had a hard drive crash, never had to redo a hard drive, I 
almost never have to reboot either of the computers that I am running currently 
and the only time that I have had to use the XP roll back feature has been 
after I have up dated a windows component.  So I may not run my computers the 
same way that you do, but what I do seems to work pretty darn well for me.

Thanks again.

Hi Jim,

In all fairness, hard drive crashes are hardware errors. The fact that you
haven't had one is probably just statistical luck. Out of the box XP (or any
Windows in recent memory) is far worse stability wise than a fully updated
one. That said, I completely agree with if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

took all the upgrades, even upped my hardware devices. because the 
more stable the box can be the better it runs. had a few viruses and 
dealt with them no biggy.

however, to do this stuff you have to be on the web for more then just email.
Would like to see if someone can get your games running on windows 7. 
That would be interesting to see what is supported there.

2009-02-01 Thread shaun everiss
I have done all the vista upgrades within reason.
I have futureproofed 2 computers, one is a hybrid that can run either vista or 
xp if chosen to.
Another desktop is updated with the hardware at least.
the main system is broken but I will be gutting it, reformatting it and 
upgrading the hardware for this transition.
my digital recorder is updated, my scanner is not because i don't use it much.
Eventually after all the printers die I'd like to get a single network 
printer/scanner unit to run of the main router.
On that note the router is updated with wireless.
So as you can see hardware wise I am all ready.
I am using semi uptodate software to.
The only reason I don't jump right in are the screenreader prices.
I am not willing to upgrade a thing I don't use to the fullest anyway.
The hardware cost me about 2000 over the last 3 years, and I was able to buy 
that in pieces.
the desktop and router were last year, about 700 so was the recorder making 
itabout 900.
the year before that, was the laptop, about 1400.
This next upgrade is another grand for the hardware etc for the new system, I 
also am planning to reformat the 160gb drive and have this as a system drive 
and have a data drive about 320gb in the box as a second data device.
Now that should all be good.
My next jump will be when well I don't know when.
I have an older system that although semi broke I could get to run for a bit 
longer if needed.
Its unlikely if I'd upgrade even then if both systems died.
would be a real bager but I'd get a copy of xp from ebay or something and run 
from a desktop if I had to.
who knows though.
The major obsticle to upgrading anything over what I have done is cash, so if I 
say got into a propper job I could actually get lagit coppies of some of my  
software, mainly office, maybe upgrade the screenreaders to their full versions 
for the new systems or at least one system.
But then who knows.
Most of the lagit stuff was given to me, I couldn't afford most of this myself.

Re: [Audyssey] Rail Racing for speed junkies. was:Re: Would you pay$50for a killer controller?

2009-02-01 Thread Thomas Ward

Hi Jim,
I'm not sure of the exact version of Windows XP you have, but this is 
what I have personally noticed. If you take Windows XP, with SP2 already 
installed, and don't put a lot of other third-party applications on it 
it will run great for a long time. The second you begin adding all kinds 
of third-party apps like anti-virus programs, office sweits, games, etc 
there is a risk you will break something. For example, MS Sapi 5.
I can't tell you how many times if I left Sapi alone, the stock sapi 
voices that come with XP/Vista, it never breaks. If I install some 
third-party voice, like Cepstral voices, remove them my Sapi 5 will wind 
up broken, and then I have to fix it. That has happened to me a couple 
of times, and I've learned there are some voices if you install them, 
don't remove them, or Sapi will end up busted afterward.
So I do agree with you to a point that you must be careful what you add, 
and what updates you install. On the other hand some updates such as 
.NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 are proven, stable, reliable technologies that 
power many new applications for XP, Vista, and Windows 7. Since Windows 
Vista the .NET Framework is a core component of the Windows OS, and a 
lot of programs for Windows Vista and Windows 7 are built using the .NET 
Framework.  Even the XBox 360 uses the .NET Framework as well as the 
latest Windows Mobile releases. My point being is if you are afraid of 
installing the .NET Framework you are likely to miss out on any new 
games, word processors, etc that are designed for .NET enabled 
computers. I know you love racing, and USA Raceway, a game you might be 
interested in, just happens to use .NET Framework 3.5 and DirectX 9.0C 
(June 2008.)

Smile.

Hi.
the games will run on windows 7 I'm farely sure. All you have to do is install 
a game that installs the vb6 runtime with it, such as GMA Tank Commander, and 
boom windows 7 supports it like vista does. I do know windows 7 runs GMA Tank 
Commander, as I have it installed and play with it.

2009-01-31 Thread Thomas Ward

Hi Jim,
Other than the fact .NET Framework 1.1 creates an extra user acccount 
you can delete I don't foresee any problems installing the .NET 
Framework. The .NET Framework is just a set of libraries that run 
C-Sharp and Visual Basic 2003, 2005, and 2008 applications. I've sold 
about 200 copies of Montezuma's Revenge and at no time have I gotten any 
tech support e-mails about .NET Framework 3.0 or 3.5. When I released 
STFC, which initially was built for .NET Framework 1.1, I did get a few 
tech support issues about that extra user account 1.1 adds. They would 
restart and got a login screen and wanted it turned off. Simply deleting 
the .NET account it created solved the problem. To date that is the only 
issue I've heard of.
As for your issue with updating Windows in general I am a bit mystified 
as to the problem. Generally installing service packs are a good thing. 
They fix all sorts of nasty bugs, fix critical security issues, and 
generally make Windos more stable not less so. I've got Service Pack 3 
on XP and it runs great on XP. XP with Service Pack 3 is several times 
more stable than Windows Xp without any service packs.
Anyway, not trying to convert you here. Just commenting as to the fact 
updating your system shuldn't be causing you grief. Windows Update and 
Windows service packs are meant to be easy and painless to install for 
both technically and not so technically minded computer users. Smile.

Hi Che,

Yes, I remember that you sent me a demo of Rail Racer.  Truthfully I

installing the game.  I do not up date my computers with the newest 
Microsoft stuff because it always has screwed them up and I then have to 
turn the computer back to before I did the up date.

tried it.  I never installed any net framework on either of my computers.  This 
one might have it though.  So I might have to try installing the game.  I do 
not up date my computers with the newest Microsoft stuff because it always has 
screwed them up and I then have to turn the computer back to before I did the 
up date.

 Hi Jim,
 I must say if you are into racing games, it is surprising you haven't 
registered with rail racer. I offered several game developers on list here 
copies of the game, and I remember specifically sending you a free key way 
back, in partial payment for all the fun I've had with your games.
 Rail racer isn't a standard racing game in that you must do jumps, avoid 
force fields and the like, but the essence of high speed racing is 
maintained throughout, as I too am a racing junkie from way back.

 Come join us man, you don't know what you're missing.

Hi Che,

Well I paid $100 for a steering wheel joystick.  Right now I am very happy 
that I did.  Mach 1 tts is really fun to drive with the variable input of 
the steering wheel, gas peddle and brake peddle.  Plus all of the handy 
buttons for speaking information.  I am just really into car racing and 
driving.


Ok though, I would want to know that a game is fully accessible and that 
it is a game that I would really be into before I spent $50 for a 
controller just for it.

 Hi Jim,
Actually I sent you the full version download and a license file, I checked 
my records to make sure that was the case, so yer all set for the full 
experience.
 As for installing .net framework and updating to direct x latest version, 
I've sold around 360 copies of rail racer, all those computers must have 
.net framework 1.1 and direct x installed, and none of them had any probems 
with the components.
 The only trouble I've had with any installs were sapi issues where third 
party sapi voices weren't playing nice.
the frameworks and direct x stuff are basically extentions of windows, so 
the chances of them messing anything up in and of themselves is almost nil.

 Later,
che
