i am using english 2.1 but that had many flaws so i have upgraded to english 2.3 and everything seems much better.

another thing, is it just me or are a few things backwards around here? e.g 1st > last post?#

EDIT: i have fixed above problem, just had to ajust settings

Yeah we're using counting version 3 beta.
Can't you bring the comp back to the store?

Ultimate · 12-07-2003, 12:20 PM

well no i got it a few years ago and it was second hand, i have "upgraded" it, (motherboard, GFX card) and i dont think theyll help.

btw by "fixed problem" i was referring to some display thingy.... my "computer wont turn off" problem remains

Have you ran scandisk just to double check? Since you have XP, it might just be taking a crappingly long time to shut off. What's the specs of your comp. Ultimate?

Ultimate · 12-07-2003, 01:14 PM

i think i will run scanndisk to make sure at some point,
and i dont think its just taking a long time, one time i left it for ages

the specs as far as i know are
-1.2 ghz amd duron
-256mb sdram
-64mb geforce4 gfx card
-black keyboard (with grey handrest)

It's that black keyboard causing the conflict. Older computers prefer the older, off-white style. You may be able to keep the handrest though...

On a more serious note, what exactly was the location of the wires you "fiddled with?"
