Greetings,

Enjoy!

Greetz,

Saw this advert on the telly the other day, and couldn’t resist but to share it:

…Just FYI, this video was taken from the FLU.GOV web site, NOT ripped by me from the TV.  Sorry.  

Enjoy!

Greetings,

Just wanted to take a minute to “pre-welcome” a new “member to the family”…

Its Persona:

All the best wishes to my new “Portable” Machine, WyteLyon — This is gonna be one hell of a ride, buddy!

Greetings,

Finally had some chances of late to slow down just a bit, and relax a little…In-the-process, finally got my hands, albeit a good bit “late”, on a copy of “Halo 2″ for Windows Vista.  However, it seems that, for users (like me) of recent update-versions of Microsoft’s “Games for Windows LIVE” client programme, and owners (again, like me) of NVIDIA Graphics Cards with up-to-date drivers, that there is a BIG issue with the latest NVIDIA drivers causing sluggish (or “stuttery”/stuttering) performace in-the-game.  Well, I think I may have a workaround here — at least, this small set of changes (which you can make in the NVIDIA Control Panel software) seems to resolve these issues in my particular instance of this problem.

NOTE: I’m not going to tell you how to get to your NVIDIA Control Panel interface…There’s several ways to do it, nonetowhich are very complicated — If you’re really desperate, though, you can pay me to walk you through it — Contact me if you REALLY need me to hold your hand on that.  

Anyway, to get started, let’s bring up the NVIDIA Control Panel to the “Program Settings” Tab of the “Manage 3D Settings” page…See the following screenshot (you can click it to enlarge it, if you need to) if you need to know where it is…  Once you get there, I *highly* recommend you tick the “Show only programs found on this computer” checkbox so that you can much more easily find (and select) the “Halo 2 (startup.exe)” entry from the “Select a program to customize” dropdown menu.
