anus Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I've accidentally deleted two files in the WINDOWS/Installer directory and now there's a certain game I can't install anymore (crysis). Do I have to reinstall Windows? That seems like the folder for the Windows Installer, try downloading the latest Windows Installer and installing it, it should fix it.

GTAPlay4fun Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I did install the WinInstaller 3.1 and didn't solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtamodder Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I need help with this... I am trying to extract a .RAR File, all files extract fine, except one file. It gives an error message saying CRC Failed. The file is corrupt I tried using WinZip, Winrar, Windows compressed folders, downloading the same thing 4 times, and it still won't work. I tried downloading with Opera, FireFox, IE, And none work. What can I do to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmachine Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Simple. Nothing. The .rar is broken. There's probably nothing you can do. Maybe try 7z, but most probably won't work anyways, if the file is corrupt. We will be the arms that lift you up We will be the hand that strike you down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anus Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I did install the WinInstaller 3.1 and didn't solve the problem. Like Girish said, try repairing the Windows installation. Or, if you remember the names of the files you deleted, you can ry searching for them in Google and then put the files in that folder. @Gtamodder, Yeah, like Ed said it's probably just corrupt, but it could be showing 'CRC failed' if you entered a wrong password (if it has password protection) and try to extract it.

Girish Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yes, the file was corrupt, I tried 7z, but that said it was corrupted too. Oh well. Try repairing the rar file. Search Google for 'Rar file repair'.

Gouveia Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 So, I have a 440MX, and I heard that this program, 3d Analyzer, could make some games work with it, like Spliter Cell Pandora Tomorrow and Prince of Persia. Is there any way to make Battlefield 2 work on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to make Battlefield 2 work on it? The lack of pixel shader in your graphic card is causing the game to not run. 3d Analyzer won't help your cause. Battlefield just can't work without pixel shader support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoAcHcliP Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Hey people I have a problem, I hope its not too confusing. I have an hdtv, which i use as a secondary to my analogue here on my desk. I used to be able to play cs and such in high definition, but now I cant get past 1280x1024 which is what my primary is set to. . When I have my hdtv set as the primary monitor, I get the resolutions I want in my games, but my analogue monitor starts to pan, even though i have both set to 1280x10424! As you can see, my normal monitor is set up as primary, and the resolution is at 1280x1024 which is the highest it goes. This does not let me use my hdtv at any higher resolution in games and its driving me mad! I cant figure it out, it used to work fine! I have them on clone. Both screens in windows are fine when my analogue is primary, but not in games, but if i switch them round so as to make hd gaming possible, (both on 1280x1024 in windows) my analogue starts panning in windows when it should be able to support that resolution!

So the problem is the pixel shader... sh*t Also, someone said that she was going to give me a capture card, and I plan on playing my 360 with it. Will it lag or will it run just like it would on a normal tv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnyboy Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Should I go for a 8800 GT Turbo, or 8800 GTX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, just wondered because I know the 8800 GTX is better, but I don't really want to go for that, so I was looking for a lesser. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anus Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 8800GTX isn't really that much better than an 8800GT, and is not worth it if you want to go high-end IMO. If you want high-end in the 8 series, go for an Ultra straight away . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saget Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Anyone ever had that problem where your download rate is higher than 200kB/s, and your network adapter overloads, and then you get a BSOD? Yeah, that's happening to me. |DeviantArt|Flickr|YouTube|#amf| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picolini Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 What do you guys think of this PC? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1204331848110 The worst thing is there's not graphics card, but a Q6600 w/ 3GB RAM, and it's got a 350W PSU (good enough for my spare 8600GT), for $750... I think it's pretty good. It'd cost a similar price to make it myself, I know I could probably get the same set up with a card and a 500W PSU for the same price, but thing is I don't have the cash, I'd be putting it on my Best Buy card. This isn't an immediate purchase, probably won't get it for a month or so, if I do. Just wondering what you guys thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4milton Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 @picolini That web page took me 5min to load and found that the PC is awesome, with a 8800ULTRA or equivalent 3850/3870 you can play CRYSIS at highest detail level(i think). 2GB RAm is enough and 3GB is more than enough as it was COre 2Quad processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingvercetti Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I shrunk my main C:\ volume using the default Vista tool and made 20GB of unnallocated space. Firstly: Would I be able to install Fedora 9 on this 20GB of unallocated without touching my Vista stuff? Secondly: How can I stop Anaconda (Fedora installer) defaulting to 1600x1200 on my 8800GT, my monitor won't support it so I can't get any further than just before the splash screen.

I got a cheap one last time (only £25), but it kept crashing my computer I use, so I had to get a expensive one (works fine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kewfmwpj Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hey all, I'm looking at buying a Geforce 8800 GTS, Vista Home Premium and a Gig of ram. Roughly how much will that total? As you can probably tell I don't have a clue with most PC related things, but any estimate on this would be a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
