  1. Peerguardian2 w/ Vista, driver problem

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    Hey all,

    I am running Vista, and am trying to install Peerguardian2, this is the problem, I have been getting this Driver Error everytime I try to open Peerguardian. It states the following:

    Driver Error

    Peerguardian is unable to load the packet filtering driver.

    This could happen if Peerguardian crashed and didn't have a chance to unload the driver, or if the file pgfilter.sys can't be found.

    If Peerguardian crashed, please run "Recover Peerguardian" from the start menu to attempt to recover from the problem

    class driver_error

    StartService: Access is denied

    I've tried to recover, no good. I've removed and added Peerguardian twice to no avail. What could the problem be? I'm soooo lost.

    Thanks in advance!

  4. I Despise The Local Police

    Posted · Edited by jamaicaman

    I don't drive, but our local force seems to be fine, I walk a lot to main street and just chill and stuff. We don't really have much of a force, seeing a cop is a rarity to be frank. Most of the time it's state troopers. Every once in a while you will see "Westminster Police Department" on the side of the car. Maybe they're just not on main street much....

    But yeah no ones ever been pulled over. My brother speeds a lot on the long roads, not like main street, haha, but he's only been pulled over once and that wasn't here. They care more about like home stuff it seems, I see a lot more cops at homes than cops on the side of roads.

  5. Does This Look Good?

    Hey, found this site that sells computers:

    http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/

    Went looking for a gaming laptop since I would like one to be able to take in between my parent's house.

    I found this one:

    http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer...onfigurator_top

    If you scroll down, you can change the settings. I set it at:

    2.50 ghz processor

    2g (2x1g) Memory

    160GB 7200RPM hard drive

    BUILT-IN AC 97 SOUND

    6-cell Li-On Battery Pack (COMPAL)

    Built-in 2.0 Mega Pixel Camera

    Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium 32-bit Edition

    Microsoft® Office® 2007 BASIC Editon (includes Excel, Outlook, & Word) w/ Office Pro Trial Edition

    Plus other things such as a mouse, Halo 2 (that's free though), Laptop fan cooler, another charger (I'll just keep one at one house the other at the other house cuz I forget things a lot), and a 1 year warranty and life-time tech support 24/7.

    This all came out to $1346.00 with free shipping. Is this a good deal? Also, do think it could play CoD4 or Crysis? I think it will but I'm not sure.

    Thanks in advance,

    -Joe

  10. Gaming Laptop?

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    Hey I just got a job (I have training this Friday) and I really have nothing I want to get except a new cage for my Chinchilla and a new computer, a new gaming computer to be exact, so I am fine with saving for a long time. Well, is it possible to have a gaming laptop with the capacity to play Crysis or CoD4? If not, what about CoD2, GTA San Andreas and Halo? Also, how much would each cost? Even if the better one is possible I'd like to know the second one because if the difference is major enough, I'd just get the second one. Also, of course internet capabilities so I can play online, and check my email/myspace/clan site right in bed before I go to sleep, haha. I'm only asking about a laptop so I can take it back and forth between my Dad's and Mom's house. But yeah if it's not possible to have that much of a capability in a laptop, that's ok I'll get a desktop for my Mom's. Someone in my clan makes computers, and he has a special deal for clan members so yeah I might do that but he said to ask about new comps only if you're looking to buy within 2 weeks, and I know I'm not, I only have 2 bucks at the moment.....

    I think that's all, I'll re-post in the thread if I think of anything more.....

    Have a good one!

  11. Happy Birthday, Jamaicaman!

    Thanks guys!

    Been forever since I've been here!

    I'll probably be here more often asking "stupid questions" since I'm getting more and more into computers every day, but theres still a BUNCH I don't know. Also I'm considering taking it as a career, building and fixing computers. Although like a secondary career. I want to teach, so maybe I'll do it as a summer job, ya know?

    Have a good one!

  13. Good, Old Video Game?

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Just a thought. ....Maybe read a book?

    I read books, but I read them for about an hour at night before I go to bed. I can't sit down and read for much longer than 1 hour usually. I don't know why......

    -Joe

    Are your eyes OK? Glasses? I only ask because I've experienced the same problem in the last few years. I used to be able to read books cover to cover in a few days. Now I get distracted easily. I think it's a vision problem.

    Just a thought.

    I get distracted easy, yes. My eyes seem fine. Everything looks as it always has......

    It's ADD, I'm the same way. I usually have to go somewhere, where there is very little distraction to read. No joke, the bathroom is one of the best places to read. There's no TV or Computer in there to distract me. I have insane vision problems though.

    Yeah I think thats the problem. I have the same thing, can't be many distractions or I get away from the book mentally.

  16. Good, Old Video Game?

    Hey, I'm in desperate need for something to do at my Mom's house. All my neighborhood friends are a few years older than me, and have gotten jobs and work ALL THE TIME. So, now I'm stuck here with not much to do most days. All the days when someone is open, my Mom works late, and so I can't leave the yard, and my yard usually doesn't offer much to do. I've done pretty much everything I can find to do online, here at my moms. I check my email, etc. which takes me five minutes, then I randomly scan the net for something to do, which often fails, and when it doesn't, it never lasts long. Now thats getting kind of old. So my question is, do any of you know of a good game - preferably FPS, but most any genre will do - that will run on a computer with a report such as:

    Thanks in advance!

  18. Free Imac/quadra 610

    in Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod

    Posted

    Well, I definitely have the Quadra, and maybe the iMac.

    Here's part of the email:

    "You are welcome to the Quadra and possibly the iMac, but I'll need to confirm the latter."

    I want both of course, but I don't know if he has other offers. So if he says the iMac is open I'll get both if there are no other offers. But I definitely have the Quadra! It may be old and crappy by todays standards, but thats exactly why I want it and the other one. To kind of experience what it was like back then.

  22. Free Imac/quadra 610

    in Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod

    Posted

    OS X requires (for some value of requires) 128 MB of RAM and I think the last version that supported the Bondi Blue iMac was 10.3.

    It's an interesting pair of machines. The Quadra 610 and the Bondi both have symbolic value: the 610 was one of the last 68k Macs, released the year before the first PowerMacs, and the Bondi was the first iMac. One represents the end of the Old Macintosh, the other the beginning of New Mac.

    Is the 1998 a Bondi? It doesn't say that anywhere, but you know a lot more about macs than I do.

    This will be my first mac ever, so I'll probably be on it forever seeing what I can do. Thanks for the help!

    -Joe

    Don't expect much, the old imac and os 9 are very much part of Apple history but both the G3 PPC processor and the operating system have been abandoned some time ago. OS 9 and OS X are two different operating systems unlike Windows 95 and Vista that although very different, still share many of the characteristics and DNA. OS X has no ties to OS 9 and earlier OS's it is Unix based and was brought to Apple along with Steve Jobs from NexT computer.

    I don't know. I like my '98 more than my XP, not including gaming, so I might like it more. I'll just have to wait and find out.

    The guy hasn't emailed me back yet. I hope he does soon, I can pick it up Thursday, after that not until the weekend...... :unsure:
