  1. Looking through a site that I found threw the link NEWT give.

    Seems very similar to the problems i am having wat ya reckon?

     

    unofficial patch

     

    This patch has to go through more testing in Taiwan from several departments before it is released officially and in fact will probably end up being a silent install patch in the next version of the 4in1 drivers – that is if further rigorous testing proves that it is in fact a fix to this issue. If you choose to install this patch on your computer, you do so at your own risk and full responsibility yourself. Speaking frankly, normally new fixes, patchs, drivers and the like are never released beta to the public.

    So what does it do? It closes the RX55 memory register in BIOS. The RX55 register's official name and function is Memory Write Queue (MWQ) timer. The MWQ timer is actually a timing device included in the memory host controller to prevent write data being held in the memory queue too long. After the data has been in the queue too long it times out. This timed out data is then given a higher write request priority. Now that might sound nice – a bit of extra performance BUT the procedure fails when overloaded. 3D games and Win XP put too much load on the memory queuing timer procedure. The nVidia new driver exaggerates the problem even more as the driver enables nVidia cards to use even more memory than previous driver versions.

     

    So in a nutshell it’s a memory timing problem that only happens when the RX55 register is opened. Some motherboard manufacturers have already released new BIOS that have the register closed. In other instances, this patch is needed.

     

    One thing I have noticed is that I think some people in are confusing one issue with the issue that I am referring to here. Symptoms I am talking about are the infinite loop error, dropping to desktop in 3D games or spontaneous reboot in 3D games. What I strongly suggest is that you try these trouble shooting suggestions before trying the patch:

     

    - Load optimized defaults in your BIOS and do not modify memory settings

    - set your memory settings in the BIOS less aggressively and test

    - make sure you have an adequate power supply

    - update your BIOS and test

    - disable or enable AGP fast write and test (this has worked for some people)

     

    The reason that I make these suggestions is that I think some people are confusing general instability because their systems are being pushed to the max, with this error. For example, if you have a 250watt power supply, 128mb RAM and have all your memory settings at max then you may be asking for trouble – the symptoms may be similar to this issue but it’s not the same. If you still get the issue after gong through these suggestions then try the beta patch (if you want to – remember it is BETA).

  2. Ye I was thinking about the power supply ages ago i think its a 350watt is it!

     

    Wat would u suggest?

     

    The specs are as follows-

     

    xp 2600 Amd Athlon Processor

    80 gb HDD Master

    20 gb HDD Slave

    Sound Blaster Live!

    512mb DDR ram!

    Tv Tuner Card!

    Cd Rom Drive

    Cd/Rw Drive

    Floppy Drive

    Gforce Fx5200 256mb DDR Graphics Card.

     

    Mother board is a Gigabyte KT-600 Series with onboard sound and network card etc.

     

    It also has 4 extra usb ports running on it 2 on the front and 2 on the back plus the 2 that are built into the motherboard.

     

    The cover has blue lights on it which are powered up at all times just was the cheapest case at the time when i bought my PC!

     

    Running Windows XP Pro at the moment. Got all relevant software installed with spy bot s and destroy, everest, zone alarm, norton a/v., avg a/v.

     

    Please HELP! Any suggestions now?

  3. Just put a Gforce 4 128mb in to my machine and believe it or not it worked perfect.

     

    So basically graphics card is ****ed but its virtually brand new

     

    GFORCE fx5200 256md DDR!! its a brillant card!

     

    So i am very sad going to buy a new NFORCE one i think :)

  4. Last time I looked at the petrol station it was like bettween 80 and 85 pence a litre.

     

    Not driving yet so dont no the exact figures! basically we are always going to get ripped off over fuel prices! We need to travel so they can charge wat they want!

  5. Between me and you airbus have developed a way to connect the stringers and the wing skins togeather without using any rivets at all therefore not putting weakness and stresses into the skin. However titanium bolts are still going to be used on the wing by the fuselage as this is were the stress is concentrated and apparently these titanium bolts we use cant fail!

     

    O yeah its called Laser Weld! Basically the stringer is put on a machine, skin is placed on top and the two materials are welded togeather but its done in such a way they basically form into one complete metal.

     

    Reduces weight aswell as no sealent and no rivets. Sealent is not needed to be use around stringers as no fuel can get between stringer and skin due to the weld. And overall MORE efficent!

     

    And for those of you who havent got a clue wats been said above.

     

    For example a birds wing!

     

    The skin being the feathers and the stringers being the bone structure :D

     

    Sorry for boring you again!

  6. Hello me and kendo had a crack at it last night for about 2 hours and we seem to have got no were still. We followed newts instructions step by step.

     

    I finished doing everything this moirning and it seems to be still not working.

     

    One thing i have noticed when kendos computer is on the light on the hub stays on! However wen my computer goes off the light goes off!

     

    Could it be some sort of hardware error?

     

    I really am stuck in a rut now!!!

     

    Wish you lived a bit closer NEWT ya could have come and give us a hand!

     

    Any more info be much appreciated!

  7. it will carry over 555 passengers. this seating is based on loads and loads of leg room. all our planes are its just when there given to the customer they tend to ram loads of seats in because they can make more money!!!

     

    crazy!

     

    nursejudy- ill try get one on ebay soon for dave :D:D:D

     

    the first one is going through testing now and i only know of one problem and that is the thrust on the engine is ripping the lights out of the runway. but they have sorted that now and alot of airports are starting matienance work to ensure this plane can land there.

     

    o yeah one more thing the way they will be used is. for example they will fly out 555 passengers to florida say then the people will get off this plane then on to another to there destination.

     

    boeing tryed to match airbus but it was not viable, airbus are starting become a major leaded in the aircraft market.

     

    p.s. sorry for boring you all just thought some of you might be intrested!

  8. hello everyone just thought ide share this picture with you. thought a few of you may be intrested only got this one off google for the time being. but at work on my email i have the first pictures of the aircraft coming out of the spray shop in tolouse france. ill get them on here soon, its going to be big very big!!!
