(In best Yorkshire accent) When I were a lad, we were lucky to have 300 baud, over a rotary-dial phone in a coupler.

Anyway, screw them, I updated Firefox instead. Dunno if it'll help, have to wait and see... -------------------- A mind without purpose will walk in dark places

QUOTE(Callidus Thorn @ Dec 9 2014, 02:59 PM) Ugh. Trying to download Chrome, since Firefox is giving me issues. But the damn thing's taking forever. Apparently it's going to take four hours to download  What on Midgard is it downloading? Well it has to fit those bumpers, wheels, mirrors, and other car parts that are made of chrome through your cable line. It's not easy squeezing all those auto parts down that small!  -------------------- |

No way it should take that long unless you have a VERY slow download speed on your internet provider. -------------------- |

Hence blaming it on google.
On the upside, updating Firefox seems to have fixed the problem  -------------------- A mind without purpose will walk in dark places

Looks sort of like one of those 'Can't get there from here' moments. . . . 1. Umm. . . sever the machine's arcane link to its source of shock magic? 2. Nordic steel reboot? 3. Orcish warhammer? Actually, I think I'd consult SubRosa before attempting option two or three. The IT side of the force is strong within her.  -------------------- |

Yeah, I had to laugh when I saw it, then grabbed a pic. Restarting the task manager got it working, but it seems either something's up with Explorer, or something's getting in its way.
Main suspect: Startmenu8. It seems kinda glitchy, but since it bring back a proper start menu to Windows 8.1 it's not really something I can do without... -------------------- A mind without purpose will walk in dark places

Or install Windows 7. I have not heard anything good about Windows 8. I have it on my Surface, and am very unimpressed.

Sometimes making progress means staying where you are.
Go ahead, Micro$oft. Some free advice right there. If you can comprehend the concept of "free" that is..  -------------------- Lol bird

This is the best news EVAH! I am getting a new PC for Xmas - actually won't get it till the first week of January.
Here are the stats: Intel Core i7 4790 CPU 16 GB DDR 3 Memory 240 GB SSD Drive 1 TB Standard Drive 780 GTX Video Card DVD RW Drive Windows 7 Pro 64 bit He upgraded the power supply from the original order, and I know he will install it - but he left it off the ticket so I can't write what it is - all I know is that it is better than the 3.3 Ghz one I had on the original order. It only comes with a one year warranty on parts and labor, so I better be careful with it, lol. Since I'm coming to this from an HP with an NVidia 8600 graphics card, I know it will be better than what I had - but don't know how it stacks up with today's PC's. Can anyone tell me if this system is ok? This post has been edited by mALX: Dec 23 2014, 11:53 PM -------------------- |

I got my son one too since his PC has been crashed a year longer than mine was, so we will both have decent computers now. (whew!) Thank you, SubRosa! -------------------- |

I´m actually kinda lost after Nvidia´s 8600 card so I don´t have a feeling anymore how good a graphic card is and I´m not good at processors, but even I could sure tell you´re definitely getting a puter good enough for Oblivion..!

[RinryGameGame] Happy gaming! [/RinryGameGame] That NVidia 8600 is the card I was using too - Oblivion at half graphics, couldn't play the Fallouts or Skyrim. My laptop is a GTX 460, which was able to play Skyrim and the Fallouts at (at least) medium graphics/some stutters after adding the official texture pack for Skyrim/crashes entering the Gibson house in Minefield Fallout 3 (because of the scaled house and trees). My son had a basic Gateway that bogged down playing WoW and couldn't even begin to handle Oblivion. So to both my son and me, these new PCs would be awesome if they were anywhere above what we had. I'm so excited! My son picks his up (today), I get mine the first week of January. Can't wait!! This post has been edited by mALX: Dec 24 2014, 10:41 AM -------------------- |
