ahem. :oook:

Well, it depends on what you want to get out of your mouse. Do you want/need a gaming mouse? How much are you willing to spend on one? I personally can't justify buying a mouse for $100 when a $10 mouse works just as fine... The way I chose my mouse/keyboard was how well they'd match my case :lol:

But this won't be a problem if the hard drive is SATA right?

I've tried pressing [F12], but the computer makes this loud *beep* sound then continues to start windows up normally. There is no splash screen that allows me to enter bios, and the 'press any key to boot from cd' screen doesn't appear either. I searched around and found that this computer is "Legacy Free," which, if I'm not mistaken, means that you cannot access the bios upon startup. If this is true, then the only way I can install windows is if I remove the hard drive and install it via another computer, then pop it back into the laptop. I can't log in and install it normally because this computer has a virus and as soon as I log in it shuts off. Any other thoughts? Currently I'm researching this 'sysprep' command. OMG! I just had a brainwave! What if I just connect this hard drive to my computer, scan it with my antivirus, then delete the virus! Think that'd work?

I doo too! I play this on my crappy Celron computer when we go on vacation :lol:

:agreed: I too played DRIV3ER before GTA, and thought it was a great game. I still think it's a good game, it just isn't as fun to mess around in as GTA is.

Hey all- Basically I'm trying to reinstall windows on a friend's computer. The thing is it's a laptop, and since it's a laptop it likes to make things complicated. The malfunctioning laptop's name is Toshiba Satellite L655 S5150. I tried feeding him an OS CD upon startup, however he shows no "press any key to boot from CD" option. There is no splash screen which allows me to enter his bios. When booting up normally the computer immediately shows the "Starting Windows 7" screen. I've googled around and found that to boot from the CD you must hit either [C] [0] or [F12] but none of these keys work. Do you think I can connect the laptop's HDD to my computer as a secondary HDD, install Windows using my computer onto the laptop's HDD, then simply put the HDD back into the laptop? So far google has told me that it will work, but there may be some complications... And of course I'll have to reinstall all the drivers for the laptop. Any help is much appreciated ;)

That hard drive is a good deal!

Personally I wouldn't rebrand mainly because it's what kills companies, however I do see why some people are interested in rebranding now... Of course if modding doesn't ever come to TDU:2 to revive it then I'd see a good reason to change our forum name.

Why not The DUck Central? :p

That's a pretty good price for 4GB

Sweet! What brand did you go with? And are you planning on installing it yourself? I hear it's easy to do, but I feel like I'd screw the whole thing up lol.

Usually having one fan in the back of the computer blowing hot air out and one near the front blowing cool air in should be enough. I don't think you'll need a super-expensive case but if that's what you want go for it! :p Just for an idea of how air should flow through your case: Almost all cases have a fan towards the top of the back panel of the case to push hot air out. ;)

:omg: Epic. I'd +rep but I need to spread...

Yep that should do the trick! You may want to do it in another room just to be on the safe side as this is your first computer build...

I hate the dentists :mad:

All you have to do is make sure you touch bare metal before building your computer. To be on the safe side, don't be in a room with a carpeted floor. The static electricity may build up in you and you may accidentally discharge the static into the part you're holding. ;) I built my computer without the wrist strap and I was fine.

Oh, trust me. It is a novelty. Gratz on your permit/license? Driving is fun :D

I've updated my graphics card drivers (I used drivers from ATI, as I have an ATI card) and nothing's changed. I also connected this monitor to my parents computer and it did that same "fade" thing right after the manufacturer splash screen.

I looked into that, but I don't run crossfire so that doesn't really apply to me. However, I did open CCC and ran TS3, and for some reason it worked! Then I closed the Sims, closed CCC, and restarted the Sims and now it works. However I still have that random "fade out" at startup.

Lol nope, I had no idea what to search for :o

:btup: Good choice. ASUS motherboards are really good!

It works fine in windowed mode... but when I go full-screen the problem still occurs.

Since when were you a doctor Sponge? :confused:
