C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
It's been 8 months
Not much has changed really since the last 2 desktop threads. I wonder how many Vista desktops we'll see (Losers) Edit : Btw Dave I like that Winamp skin you have, Could you give me the link to that?
Lol. Nice empty desktop. You should really think about formatting and reinstalling XP.
the 3gp file isn't what it seems....
RoShamBo wrote on Wed, 11 July 2007 23:58 the 3gp file isn't what it seems.... Maybe not but I bet that vibrator one is though, haha. I thought my desktop was abit messy
vibrator one isn't what it seems either I'll even send you it. .
We have the same background, dan. I just didn't change mine from the default, cos when i installed windows to begin with, it was meant to be just for gaming, cos i have linux on a dual-boot.
Caveman wrote on Wed, 11 July 2007 18:57 Lol. Nice empty desktop. You should really think about formatting and reinstalling XP. I've had nothing but good experiences running Vista so far. I've had it since March.
here's mine similar to that cloud one but C&C style:
Well, I'm on my 16" miscoulored monitor that I usually use as a secondary because myu 19" primary quit on me. So, here is my lower res than usual desktop: It's just the earth texture that comes with 3ds Max 9. BTW: I posted a desktop thread less than 8 months ago, and no-one really cared for it at the time. BTW2: Sir Phoenixx, can I have the image you are using as a background?
Mines always empty.
Awesome background you got Sir Phoenix I didnt created my wallpaper, got it from DeviantART, photoshopped new bliss called Waterbliss
<3 Bloom.
mrpirate wrote on Wed, 11 July 2007 17:54 this one's for Caveman Not had a problem with it yet.
Looks like I win, because all you fags have useless stuff on your desktop (and actually use wallpapers).
You want useless shit on a desktop SK? I'll give you useless shit on a desktop lol...
WHAT THE FUCK. Check your desktop for porn before showing it.
LOL, cool background, pokemon = ace combat = good mix
Mine's boring.
@ Sir Kane PLAIN BLUE BACKGROUND FOR THE MOTHER ***KING WIN!!! I use it too!
Vista is perfectly fine, works great for me.
Viking wrote on Thu, 12 July 2007 19:26 I herd with vista you cant use google? The Google and the Vista are the enemies.
I get the feeling this might turn into another Vista vs. EVERYTHING ELSE war. My experiences with Vista aren't so good. 1st install > BSOD on boot-up for ages 2nd install > Drivers kept hanging 3rd install > nVidia ForceWare's full of bugs; window borders keep refocusing People say it's because I have a crap computer, but I can run XP, Server 2003, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora and MacOS X with no problems at all. (Well, MacOS needs some kexts to work to full potential)
Jonty you just said you should be able to run Vista because of a string of OS that require less computer power... "I can run Crysis because I run Simcity 2000, Doom 2, C&C 95, even Tiberian Sun!"
Hehehe, I had to install XP 7 times before it would work.
I can confirm that you CAN use google while running vista (Yes, I know it was not a serious question, I just felt like posting it anyway xD )

"I can run Crysis because I run Simcity 2000, Doom 2, C&C 95, even Tiberian Sun!" Very well then. AMD Sempron64 3400+ 1.5GB DDR4000 SDRAM 160GB Hitachi DeskStar IDE HDD 16x DVD+-RW-DL nVidia GeForce 7600GT 256MB AGP Will it work on that?
You need a faster hard drive, I'd imagine, it seems that no matter how much RAM you have, Windows wants to use the page file... Turn the detail off and went for Nvidea to release Vista ready, working drivers.
CarrierII wrote on Fri, 13 July 2007 20:59 Turn the detail off and went for Nvidea to release Vista ready, working drivers. Nah, seeing as all of my games run at about half the speed they do in XP (and yes, I've tried all the tricks like disabling SuperFetch, although it annoys me that these things have to be done in the first place) I'll just stick with an operating system that I actually don't dislike (XP). The second I get some proper free time I'm going to install Ubuntu x64 off the LiveCDs I just got posted ( ) and then marvel at how the 3d effects are somehow much better than anything Windows can offer*. * Better, but utterly pointless, and that's why I love them!
Here you go.
Wtf is with all you fags having 8409584095840958409 tray icons?
Sir Kane wrote on Fri, 13 July 2007 17:24 Wtf is with all you fags having 8409584095840958409 tray icons? haha
Dave S. Anderson wrote on Fri, 13 July 2007 17:29 Don't you mean desktop icons? No, he means the tray icons in the bottom right (and left). I think.
Sir Kane wrote on Fri, 13 July 2007 23:24 Wtf is with all you fags having 8409584095840958409 tray icons? I have 5. I guess I'm not a fag then.
I have 3 on my desktop Firefox, aol, recycle bin Aol for checking my mail Firefox for surfing web....and recycle bin...... then I have a objectdock docking station which loads instantly when i login, it has skype, nero dvd bining software, the time. what the heck, you guys have like 100000000 icons lol, ever heard of making folders or using the recycle bin? You guys remind me of my uncle who recruits people online, he has a clean documents folder, then all his "documents" on his desktop, even people he recruited years ago, he still has their files on his desktop lol.
I use Vista and I have not had a *single* problem with anything. Even RenGuard 1.03 with SVKP worked fine the first time. I have no problems with * Google (lol who the fuck started the rumor that vista cant fucking web browse to google? you are an idiot whoever you are) * Renegade + RenGuard * Teamspeak2 * BF2 * BF2142 * The Matrix Online * Nero 7 * MS Office * ITunes * WinAmp * Command and Conquer3 * Supreme Commander w/ dual monitor mode * Firefox All of the above and more work flawlessly, no compatibility mode shit etc...so don't believe the "OMG you can't run anything with Vista" haters talk. Hardware: Intel dual core E6400 Overclocked 30% BFG GeForce 7950GX2 (1GB RAM, SLI) Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard using digital audio Not saying Vista is great or that everyone should upgrade...I'm just saying that I have so far had no problems whatsoever. The only thing I highly recommend is turning off UAC as all the prompts to "protect" you, get annoying real fast.
This is not an opinion, this is a fact. nubster is crap.
Blazer wrote on Sat, 14 July 2007 02:18 I use Vista and I have not had a *single* problem with anything. Even RenGuard 1.03 with SVKP worked fine the first time. Ah, but if you run FRAPS on games like BF2142 in XP, then in Vista, are they the same speed or faster? That's why I didn't stay upgraded. Quote: The only thing I highly recommend is turning off UAC as all the prompts to "protect" you, get annoying real fast. Oh yes, I think the entire world is unanimous in saying that. Any Vista computer I've used for any length of time I've turned it off, whether or not it's mine.
I need to get off my lazy ass and remove some of those icons.
I got off my lazy ass.
z310 wrote on Sat, 14 July 2007 03:10 I got off my lazy ass. If you're using uTorrent 1.7.1, I highly recommend switching to a Open Source client, Now.
z310 wrote on Sat, 14 July 2007 04:35 1.6.1, why? Don't update. Not now, Not ever, You'll thank me later.
z310 wrote on Sat, 14 July 2007 12:37 You just expect me to listen to you? You should do some research on uTorrent and who bought it.

Bit-Torrent bought it, that's a bad thing? (I don't use utorrent all that much and when I do its some version from 2006 anwyays.)
I used Bittorrent and Utorrent,they were crap, sometimes they blocked stuff without a reason, then changed to Bitlord, and now Azureus, they are great
BitLord is a big pile of steaming crap. BitTorrent is way better than it, even if it does have a bad memory leak. Azureus is the way forward

I can see your dedicated to cars, would you like me to get you one that looks nice, with your name on it?
Those aren't cars, they are UTEs. BIG difference. And no, they are NOT pickup trucks either.

Stick with 1.6.1, For your own safety. @Caveman: Well.. Whatever you download, Someone will know about it with 1.7.1, And not just anyone.
Sorry, mine isn't too flashy.

http://www.utorrent.com/privacy.php Shut the fuck up.
I have no idea what either of you are babbling on about, I've been using 1.7.1 for ages (well, since it was released) and not noticed anything strange.
@z310: I read right through that, What am I looking for?
uTorrent Privacy Policy We do not track which files you transfer with the BitTorrent Client. Merely using the BitTorrent Client does not cause a record of your transfer history to be kept by BitTorrent or BitTorrent on behalf of any third party.
Rebuilt my PC a little while ago. The photo was taken by a friend of mine
What XP theme is that? /me likes.
Jonty wrote on Mon, 16 July 2007 18:38 What XP theme is that? /me likes. Metallic Shades http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:vKFeHGXKwfsJ:www.getskinned.org/modules.php% 3Fmodname%3Dsubs%26action%3Dmoreinfo%26subid%3D1371+GetSkinned+-+Metallic+Shades +2.1.1&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=nz http://www.getskinned.org/download.php?subid=1371 Uses the hacked XP Theme DLL to work. It only works on dual monitors because I paid for Ultramon, but it was worth it.
Do you really think Ultramon is worth $40?
z310 wrote on Tue, 17 July 2007 00:20 Do you really think Ultramon is worth $40? It's good, but it's not worth $40. Also, thanks for the theme, it rules.
From Ultramon's website: Quote: Trial version limitations: the trial period is limited to 30 days, the software is otherwise fully functional. I think you're thinking of Multimon.

I honestly do, considering I use the PC daily and it makes using dual monitors so much easier than Multimon or nothing else I worked it out on a cost-per-day and decided it was well worth the cost. Plus I can install it on my laptop + desktop. It makes running my laptop in dual-screen at uni really easy. (You either buy a license for users or systems, whichever is less).
I've thought about purchasing Ultramon, but its pretty expensive for what it does.

Dave S. Anderson wrote on Tue, 17 July 2007 20:52 I've thought about purchasing Ultramon, but its pretty expensive for what it does. Yeah, but I see myself using it daily for quite a while. Plus it integrates with my theme, it's being actively developed and the developer answes the support forums really quickly.

Vista works great, if you have a computer for it.
