I lost my BF1942 discs :-(

I bought it and hated it. Couldn't figure out how to play it properly. I'll swap you the complete collection set for a different older game. I'm looking to play some older titles.

looking for cool base building strat game

Ceasar series? I think Ceasar IV is the latest. Haven't played the latest, but the originals were a lot of fun. More city building than pure base building. Kind of Age of Empires meets Sim City.

Do those old shooters have updated mods, or did they not build the capability into those games back then? It'd be really fun to play new missions and maps (not multiplayer). I play civ 4, and some of the stuff people have done is amazing.

Vista Media Center Full Screen Stuttering Solution

So, like apparently many others on the web, had a problem with Vista Media Center. Videos would play fine when the menus were on the screen, but as soon as the menus disappeared or you went full screen, the whole video would stutter and flicker horribly. If you have a Nvidia card, do some...

Jerky Live TV from Tuner Card

Resolved: It was a mix between bad reception (like some of you said) and a conflict with an audio device that caused stuttering during full screen mode. I'm going to have to think about getting a new antenna, because I only get two broadcast networks, no matter which direction i face it...

Netflix streaming question

The low cost plans still have limitations on the amount of hours, I think. But I think 2 dvd's and above is unlimited streaming. Check the website. For windows, you need to use Internet Explorer and download the Netflix player, and I think there's a Mac client now out as well. No Linux streaming...

Jerky Live TV from Tuner Card

But should a brand-new installation of Vista have a bunch of stuff using the hard drive so much it becomes impossible to watch live TV? That seems like it would make most tv cards useless, and I haven't really seen that problem online. I don't know what to do about reception. I can switch to...

Jerky Live TV from Tuner Card

I'll stop background tasks and check it out. My HDD is a WD 7200 640GB drive. Does live tv even use the hard drive? I thought it just came through the tuner card, and your HDD was only put into use when recording tv. I don't know what to do about tuner reception. Both Vista Media center and...

So I just built my brand new system. Core2 Duo E7300 running Vista 32-bit, 4GB Ram, Radeon HD 4670, and a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 dual TV tuner. I'm trying to watch live TV through Vista Media Center. I configured the card, and I recieve digital channels from my antenna, but the video in...

DVD Ripping - What format to use?

Hmmm. I did the registry hack, but nothing showed up. I ended up with a video folder and an audio folder after ripping. I need to now put both those in another folder, and then keep all ripped dvd's in another folder, and then add that one inside media center? I'll try that when I get home...
