To Cyrax- I am running an Athlon T-Bird 1.33 ghz with a GeForce 2 GTS. It works perfectly fine with Win 98 2nd edition. I've never had any problems with it. Sorry that I couldn't help.

I've learned that faster computers are not often compatible with older games (especially newer OS's), but X-Com seems to work fine with me. Sorry again that I couldn't help.

The girl that's on now (blonde in blue) is the first one I had, but this time she's cut out (though it's not very clean, I was just trying to figure it out). She's the one that is sort of a model, but not really.

If you mean the pic of the TWO girls, then I explained that in my response to Cyrax.

I explained both pics because I was fooling around with changing the avatar at about the time you posted, so I'm not sure which pic you're referring to.

Err.. I don't even know what I'm talking about, so I'll just be quiet. :D

how do you pronounce avatar??? i've never really known:unsure:

It's phonetic. But in case you need to hear it:

i love that car. got one parked in my garage over at shoreside vale.

Nice desktop Ric, simple, yet effective.

Actually, you answered this question perfectly Yoda. I'm runing a GeForce3 graphics card, and that's what wouldn't allow the game to run, according to Infogrames.

They said WinME should play it fine, but the GeForce3 needed either a VESA 2 patch, which PNY didn't have, or if I was wiling to take a chance, buy a program called "Display Doctor". Infogrames dosen't endorse Display Docotor, in other words they don't troubleshoot problems with it, but said it had helped some people play the game, and that it was worth a try, unfortunatly, there was no version of Display Doctor for the GeForce3.The company that makes Display Doctor said to check back from time to time, and see if they release one though.

Yeah, that game is pretty fun. I hope you get it running. You've beat it right?

hey, townpoption, i found a desktop u might like. here is the preview of it....

my new desktop thanx to that xp theme place which i really like....

Here's my desktop:

Shooter that is AWESOME!!! Very creative man! Bravo! Are you a Mac user? :D :D :D

Here's mine

Looks cool. You make it? Interesting website down there at the bottom...:D

HAHA... I'm too lazy to make my own wallpapers. But my friend makes amazing ones.

But his are not about gaming, but marijuana. He's a pothead... rather sad.

No, but I wish I was.

I've been wanting a Mac for years, but my dad won't let me get one because he works for Compaq, and that would be against his "intrests". It's sort of like me buying a Dell.. :rolleyes:

I personally think it's the stupidest thing in the world.. but what do I know?

azazela31, I absoultely LOVE your signature -- it kicks ass.. I just had to tell you that.

The pics are from gamespot;) I could make anything better... I'm not very artistic.

Well, they still rock -- I love 'em!

You should have just deleted the post.

Hmm, for some reason the link stopped working. But I saw it before it stopped, so...

I thought it was good, mainly because of it's simplicity, and I like it a lot better than my second desktop I posted. But when I changed to the second one, I didn't really like it because it wasn't very personal. So I went back to the style of my first desktop, with something comedic in the middle.

Thanks, though, :) I would have changed it to that if I was still using the second one.

that site just got really messed up all a sudden! hope not hacked!

You're in college right? How would he know if you got yourself an Apple laptop like the Titanium Powerbook? I have to admit, those bad boys are out of my budget. If interest strikes, check it out here . :D

No, I'm a freshman in High School. :lol:

But when I go to college, I'm probably going to buy a Mac.

Well, I feel downright sheepish. :D

S'ok -- what made you think I was in college?

Pinkerton Academy, btw, what happened to Kristen's Bedroom?

*shakes head*

shouldn't have asked that...

(they broke up)

Oops, uh, sorry man. :(

Oh.. it's ok.. and Pinkerton Academy is the name of the High School I go to.. it's bigger than some colleges - it's the biggest High School in the U.S. :D

That's cool. I hope the number of students in your classes isn't too high. Here in California, we're trying to lower class sizes so each student gets more individual attention.

I changed my sig... so if you want I can send you link to use my old sig.

Me?! Change my signature?

Nah.. Nate would be heartbroken, after spending all of 5 minutes making this..

I like your new signature, and I like my signature, I don't change it often.

How do you guys feel about mine? Annoying, too much self advertisment? :unsure: :confused:

I think his sig is okay...

Sing! Annoying as hell.. your signature, I hate the most.

The sig was OK, but not as interesting as some, DH used to have some very cool ones.

However GameMaster2000, what ever ypou do, DO NOT cahnge that Avatar!!! I have an A;lienware PC, so you know how attached I am to the Alien-head.
