Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
So yeah, some weeks ago, my dad bought a new pc, just after I asked him for a new pc, it made me kinda mad, but aight, I was still saving up money for a new pc, and I almost had enough. He bought this pc..
I tried some games on it and they all ran so good, I mean.. a loadingspeed of like 10-20 secs in BF1942, while I used to wait around 5-10 minutes for loading. The new soundcard owned ( I never knew the BF1942 sounds were that cool ) Etc. etc. So yeah, I wanted a pc like him, it came with a flatscreen, while I had an older screen.
I bought exactly the same computer set, just.. exactly the same, same box.. etc. I installed some games, and tested BF1942 first, it seemed not to run as smoothly as I thought, but I could live with it. So I changed the resolution to 800x600x16 instead of 1024x768x32, it ran better, duh, but uglier. Then I installed some more games, one of those is Atari's Test Drive Unlimited. I started the game, and the mouse went soooooo slowly, I couldn't even move it. So I changed something in the video options.. everything on lowest settings. 640x480, everything on low. Guess what? I could play the game! ( With 11 frames per second ) I wasn't THAT happy with it, but aight, it was a new computer, and it was better than my old one. I told my parents about it and they were like.. we bought you a new computer, you told us it was great for games and now you come tell us you dont like it!? So yeah, I didn't know what the problem was. Today, I opened up msn on my dads pc, dragged the window and saw something different between my and his pc. When I drag an msn window on my pc, it goes slowly and lags a bit, its like an old 400 mhz pc.. the window is all over the screen and while I already took my hand off the mouse the window is still moving. On my dads pc.. its just.. fast, etc. just like a normal pc. So I was like, how will Test Drive Unlimited run on this pc. I asked my dad to try it, installed it, and started the game. First thing I saw was that the recommended resolution was 1024x768 and recommended graphics on High. The mouse didn't lag, but still I changed it to 640x480, everything on low, just to compare. GUESS WHAT? I got 99 fps ingame! I was driving the Lotus Elise for 10 mins till I realised I was there to compare performance ( lol ). So I told my dad, and he said its all because I uninstalled norton antivirus on my pc, and installed AVG Antivirus. I was like, no, that doesn't make a difference at all. Now it seems like, if you uninstall the software wich comes with the pc in the netherlands, then the warranty would be.. err, how do you say that? Invalid? Expired? So my dad said, I can try to bring it back for you, but everything from your hd will be lost. Well, since I already used around 50 gb, I got nothing to put 50 gb on.
1 - move all the important stuff over to ur old pc`s hdd.. 2 - return the new pc 3 - get a new pc 4 - play TDU 5 - wait a few months and your pc is super old again xD
Are you saying that your computer has slowed down because you uninstalled Norton Antivirus? That makes no sense at all.

Google it... Removing Norton gives you warp-speed! Norton eats resources. Sounds like some kind of weird hardware error, and the screens you showed me could very well be a fried gfx chip. Return the P.O.S, you'll find a way to backup the important stuff. Save it on your dad's computer

Hmm, ok, i'll make a backup tomorrow. Also i've been thinking of just buying a new gfx card on my birthday, games run now, but they'll run better with a new gfx card, and even better with the better gfx card i'll be buying on my birthday, lets hope that one'll work lol. Lets hope I can still return it since warranty expires when you uninstall the software wich comes with the pc here..
agree,if its the same computer it should have the same clock speed,also the same gfx preformance,if its tha case that your computer is more sucky (not saying thet your dads is) then your fathers,you should get it on the warranty. Same model=same computer preformance output
Of all the signatures you have read,this is properly one of them

Norton is extremely unessesary unless you download a ton of files and randomly go to annonymous sites
