when i start my computer it beeps too... when it's loading the bios, right after the ram check. No software missing here.

Locked... this has gotten way off topic and I doubt if it is helping Volts at all. Volts, if you require additional !@#$%^&*istance, feel free to start a new thread with the new information you have found. Seriously guys, this is tech support, not a lounge, there are more than enough other forums to hold the undying "which version of windows is your favorite" discussion.

get a multimedia keyboard with ffwd and rev keys

What is occuring: some other application is stealing the window focus. Hit cntl-alt-del and close all apps except 'explorer.' But do this one by one until you find out which one is causing your problem. Once you have discovered the thieving app, make sure that it is not running when you play.

jin, punctuation helps.

he means the duration of the super (ie: set it to 60 sec super for all super prizes) and no, you can't do it.

if all else fails, replicate the noises yourself (like the guy in police academy.) I bet you cant do the engine hum and a thor at the same time, hence, when installing yourself, be sure to put 1/16 duplex.

from whatsnew.txt (for continuum) * added configurable colors. Background color, menu colors, radar colors are now read from colors.bm2

this has been a known issue with cheaper keyboards for years, replace the keyboard with a "better" one, and your issues will be solved.

1)monitor drivers 2)"force default resolutions" in the options (try it on and off)

sounds like the profile has 640x480 set for it. Change the res in your profiles to Default, then select the res you want from the dropdown on the main screen. http://www.alphasvs.com/images/profile_settings.gif

this is one of my favorite features, and with continuum, you can use 4 now!

Maybe the "brick and mortar" stores are getting hurt, but the recording industry, as a whole, will remain strong (the recording industry includes the producers, engineers, editors, agents, etc. all of whom remain essential ingredients to a well produced album. I would even go so far as to say that record stores wont entirely be forced out of the market. There are basically 2 types of stores: Chains (Sam Goody, etc.) that are found in the malls across america, and who offer teenagers (the big spenders) things like posters, CD inserts, and promotions. These kids probably listen to songs on walkmans that their parents bought them, rather than on $200-$400 mp3 players. (I know that burnt CDs are still an issue, but that is limited by a number of factors as well.) With all of these things combined, it's easy to see how the chains can survive. Independant stores sell specific types of music, typically non-mainstream. There is a large amount of consumers who still buy vinyl and many who prefer to buy used CDs (like myself... I rarely buy any music when it's brand new.) Both types of shops provide additional products such as apparel, stickers, posters, and other promotional items... none of which have a comparable "downloadable" equivalent. Loss in album sales will be recouped in the cost of other merchandise, and the consumers will ultimately pay the price ($17-$20 T-shirts, $4 stickers...these things used to be available for much less.) Over the years, I've spoken to many people on both sides of the fence regarding downloadable movies. DVD's sales aren't in much trouble due to the amount of effort needed to make one viewable on a TV, the low quality of the video and sound, lack of extra features such as deleted scenes and director commentaries, and the entry requirements needed to gain pirated video (high speed/bandwidth connections.) Since the cost of TV's, DVD players, and an acceptable 5.1 digital audio setup has dropped by quite a bit over the past few years, as well as the price of DVD's and the availablility of used DVD's, this market isn't in much peril at all. One last thing I do want to point out though... Used CDs, DVDs, Video Games, and other Media generate NO profit for the original producers/distributors. This type of product can also lead to a decrease in sales of "New" (still in the plastic) products. These sales are pure income for the shops which sell used media, with a low cost of overhead (go to your local blockbuster or electronics boutique and trade some stuff in and see how much they offer you for it.) I would again wager that this type of sales contributes to a lot of the loss of sales being claimed through mp3/video/media pirating.

unfortunately madhaha, your article makes no !@#$%^&*ertion that P2P improved sales. It never created any supply/demand relationship between sales and P2P file sharing. The article actually argues against your theory. What is being pointed out is a well known misinterpretation of success, which is easily described using the stock market as a model: The rate of inflation is 3%. An index fund represents the overall growth of any stock market (there are index funds for the NYSE, NASDAQ etc.) and this growth is typically 13% a year. If an investor sees a net growth in their fund of 8% during a year, then essentially they have made 5% growth on their investment (you must maintain at least 3% growth or your investment is actually losing value due to inflation.) So the investor says "woohoo, I made 5% above inflation!" While the knowledgable investment agents know that the stock market, as a whole, has increased by 13% and therefore the given investment has actually lost 5% of its value, due to the fact that the market, as a whole, grow by a total of 13% (10% growth after inflation, compared to 5% of the example fund.) This is the same thinking that this article points out. Just because sales continued to increase during the prevalence of file sharing, that doesn't mean that sales weren't hurt by them, and it definately doesn't infer that file sharing helped those sales.

continuum/ss uses a different default 256 color palette than the windows 256 color palette. Some video cards get confused when switching display modes.

http://www.shanky.com/server/bot.html MervBot is probably your best bet.

amen, my brother.

just want to show exactly who is getting ripped off when an mp3 is illegally downloaded, and by how much.

just some interesting data I found: http://www.cnn.com/interactive/entertainme.../cd.pop.pie.gif

in SS 1.34 if you leave the playername empty, or start it with an invalid character, and try to enter a zone, it shows this: http://www.alphasvs.com/images/symbol.gif In Continuum .39, if you leave the name blank or starting with an illegal char, it only shows: http://www.alphasvs.com/images/connection.gif Thats pretty confusing! (i tried it with cont .37 too, but it just keeps telling me the zone isnt connected to the correct billing server, and asks if i wanna use the same password anyway... over and over and....)

basically ya...anyone out there that's got a resume that's better than PriitK's and willing to do this for free? anyone? anyone? (long echo) Considering what features have been added so far, I'm a happy camper as-is. Sure I'd like to see fast and expanded development, but... you get what you pay for! (this is also a reference for the people who are keeping track of the P2P discussion. ) And I'm pretty peachy (now that prox is fixed - I think.)

I think the solution to this (which would require an entire rewrite of the curent code) would involve separation of the networking code and the game code. It is possible to allow users to change the graphics, movement, lvl, lvz, etc. without needing access to the source of the networking code. It would help if there was a single player interface that could be put in place of the multiplayer networking interface, to allow for testing. But honestly, I think the time spent to acheive this would be better off spent on a scriptable subgame. Server side bots/scripting would be embraced by the community moreso than a scriptable or rewritable client.

not all bugs are problems, but they are still bugs.
