Well i leave for Stevenage tonight so i'll be away from the forum for a month, not like thats a lot, I'm sure my previous departure from the forum lasted 6 months didn't it Roz?  but i'll try get on the forum whilst im there. All the best everyone 

Just got of the phone to my dad, he is thinking of buying me a bike now so i can keep some of the insurence money to pay of the last bike, it will still leave me with debt but atleast another bike 

regulus has been mentioned elsewhere too and it sounds about right, how did dumbledore get the ring by the way? did it say i can't remember 

the insurence i got was dreadful...the bike dealer chooses them. £600 excess, so many loopholes and ways around stuff, its a pile off crap. I'm just lucky to be safe.

I'm so angry, my bike got stolen today, its 2/3 months old £1800 perfect bike, some scummy chavs stole it and smashed it to hell. I rang the police within 10 minutes of it happening, got in my mates dads car and left the street looking for it, within 15 minutes a helicopter was out atleast 15 police cars surrounding the area, about 3 of them with the lights flashing, all for my bike (Obviously was not a busy day) street wardens were everywhere. 5 lads were sighted pushing it, they were never found nor was the bike, 2 hours later my step dad picked me up and we where going home and saw 2 lads on MY f***ing bike, i was so fukin pissed i cudnt breath i wannid to kill them, we chase them in the van, tried to run them over, didnt work well, ended up going right up there back beepe the horn, they turned around the jumped of the bike, i got out the ran, everywhere swear word and discriminating term was being thrown out my mouth chasing the chavy c*nts, ran back to my bike, saw the mess, picked it up, and bolted after them, cudnt see where they had gone so i went back to my step dad, about 2 mins later out of no where and gang of about 15 pelted around the corner, with bats the lot shouting s***, i knew that was to much to take but i dont think my step dad minded, told him to get the fuk in the van and drive, looked behind and saw them beating the s*** out of my independance. Now i am no longer safe for saying the stuff i did around that area and in town, my mums making me move to stevenage untill the gang know i havnt pressed charges, if i do it a guarentee i will not be alive, they are the scum of the earth, they care of nothing, so it looks like i have no bike, £1000 debt because of the s*** insurence and now have to go into hiding mad.gif

ive had better days, this had changed my life 

Actually thinking about it how can this happen. I thought you have to commit murder to be able to use the horcruxes, Dumbledore hasn't has he, maybe he has just...died  :'(

Totally feel the same about the Dumbledore using the horcruxes and also about it being fawkes, its ties well with Dumbledore telling Harry about Nagini (using animals) I would love to see that happen anyway, that would make him and gandalf quite alike lol kinda

celeron is pentium 3 basically

Im shocked, kinda upset, i get well into the book, Snape killing Albus, its pisses me off silly, everyone shudda seen he wasn't loyal from the first book. And the next book is going to be totally unique, maybe no more hogwarts, it'll be about harry, ron and hermione on their quest to defeat Voldermort and the teachers and Aurors helping harry along the way. I'm happy about the  background of voldermort being looked into i thought that was class. Well upset about Dumbledore's death i just can't see how harry is going to survive without his protection. You see the way he tried to fight Snape, he was over powered everytime, it will take alot of learning to defeat any death eater now, and without hogwarts maybe, it will have to be lupin or someone teaching him how to fight...ahh i want the next book

on chapter 25. I love dumbledore in this book 

he is defiently evil

The pc sounds old, the graphics card is defiently causing the glitchs in characters, and the memory/processor speed is what causes the crash. It may be a  Nvidia GeForce 3 Ti500 64mb but thats not really going to help the gaming quality, that is basically a standard graphics card for those select few motherboards which do not have onboard graphics. A shop will charge £40 for a card like that when really it will go for £10 on ebay, which is what its really worth.

Another thing i have over-looked, in the game options, some games give a choice of what renderer to use

Software
Direct 3D
OpenGL

OpenGL is what you need to be running on if it gives you that choice, your graphics cards supports up to OpenGL 1.3 which is cool. Basically i had the same problem as you with a 64MB card running it on Software, i changed to OpenGL and the graphics quality is perfect, have a look around on the game options.

If this can't be found/solved i recommend a new pc, one from ebay, have a real good search, you can pick up a intel celeron 2 GHZ which is great for gaming with a 512 DDR 400MHz memory, 60 GB Hard drive,  onboard graphics with an AGP slot for you to buy a 128gb Nvidia card (£30+ sometimes less) for about £100.

I'm watching the JK on Telly Lark, then i jump on my Scooter, bolt into town at 1am and buy the book 

[Click Start> Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Computer Management> Device Manager >>DISPLAY ADAPTERS ...double click and read if the driver is installed....if it is, the graphics card is not sufficient for the game]

Don't do the ctrl alt del and delete processes you'll probably stop something you shouldnt like explorer.exe and your pc will turn off. Nvidia Geforce 3 what though? mine was a GeFroce Mx 400 64mb piece of sh*te. I'd play counter strike and basically my graphics were so poor you could see though walls, i upgraded to a Nvidia FX 5600 and now its much better. When you got the Graphics card it should have come with a disc which has the driver on it, have you got the disc?

To find out if the driver is installed first.

Click Start> Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Computer Management> Device Manager >>DISPLAY ADAPTERS ...double click and read if the driver is installed....if it is, the graphics card is not sufficient for the game 


128mb is the minimum requirment, 512mb is what you really need so it allows you to run other appilcations/processes in the background such as msn, internet explorer, or norton without lagging up the game, which is what its doing. Other than Ram/Memory if could well be your processor if it is below intel celeron series then this may be the problem for the lag/jitterness

I'm just shocked America lied to its own people and the world saying a boeing 757 (Flight 77) went into the pentagon.

he's probably fightinh/being protected by double which is shown on the front cover, dumbledore may die, harry gets angry and next books chops voldemorts head of with a sharpened wand 

i Agree with Roz, and i'm annoyed about the the no snow 

its going to be way over 50 dead as they havn't brought any bodies out from kings cross underground 

I think the government fail to look after it's people, but yet they continue to allow unidentified foreingers in. One way to put some sort of end to it would be for the UK should to suspend all people coming in and do it like australia. If you can't proove an income before applying to move then you aint coming in... also if you can't make £25,000 in your first finacial year then you're sent back home. Any one in this country who can't : 1. Proove Birth in the UK (have no identidy). 2. can't get a job within the first month of coming into this country or 3. can't proove savings to keep themselves while looking for a job. Should simply be stuck on a boat and sent back to where they came from. Thats not a backlash against communities that are percieved to be responsible, it's putting your foot down and thinking about your own people by crushing fear and animosity.

Ive actually competed in all three you just mentioned, and won..woohoo!
