PS
The server would necessarily have to be hosted from Australia though, so places in the far North would have high pings. East coastal America South America and Britain have acceptable pings to Australia in my experience Hosting the games from my PC

Btw, how are things in tommorrow land ? It's still Monday here ... anything new happing tommorrow I need to worry about?

Only if you have relatives in Siria.

No seriously. All is fine here in Ausland except for floods and American CI TV series bloat.
I worry about you guys so it was good to hear that things are turning around for some sectors of your economy. We here are bearing the brunt of that in cuts to or held over contracts etc.
Our Auto industry could be crippled if GM pulls out so we are bailing them at the tune of nearly 300 Million bucks or so.

Speaking of that did you see the Chrysler Superbowl Commercial "Clint Eastwood: Its Halftime in America" During the superbowl?

Talk about a Obama PR move !!!

Man OH man. I felt the spirits rise in that one.

Good to see Clint still around, like his style.

Detroit has had a few close calls if I recollect.
Although Chrysler left Australia in the 70's or so.

Hey Kensta...I was thinking about your PC problem and recall the CPU being mentioned.
Have you recently recovered or reinstalled Windows?

If you have you need to re-install the CPU drivers that are configured specifically for the Motherboard Make Socket and Chipset

Without them many features will not work and the CPU can malfunction under load even fail temporarily.

You would need to ID the Motherboard and get the drivers.

Example:
Gigabyte G1-ds3 and Pentium 4 needs the Gigabyte Drivers for P4 Socket 775 G1 chipset.

Generally the CPU and MoBo only have enough default functionality to install the operating system, some boards need CPU drivers before install as well as 3rd party Raid Drivers (if in use) Onboard Graphics Drivers in this example and even a Bios flash with certain CPU MoBo combinations.

If this is the case you can post your CURRENT Motherboard and CPU specs and I can locate the drivers unless you already have the disk.

I have purchased the xp disc and the recovery disc specialy for the comp

motherboard says ibmrev 2.6

the specs are posted in the comp cat on this forum

and yes it was used for office work thats y igot it because its cheap n easy to run old games :P

[Guest001]

I would Need to know if it is a Gigabyte or MSI etc...board makers mix and match all this gear IE. Intel IBM AMD etc...so the brand name is necessary if possible. Then I can match the specs to the brand and find the right driver set.
Knowing it is an IBM Rev 2.6 is good to know and will help.
Hope this is the crux of the issue as I have a sneaking feeling it is.
