Quote:i just noticed that..... my computer was made a YEAR after jesus was born O.O... WTF!!... HOW THE HELL!Yep, as mentioned in previous post, upgrade to SP2. It really helps.
Those driver dates are really hinky looking and suggest corrupt driver installations. Yes, I know it's a new computer, but even Dell can screw the pooch at times.
In the ATI thread I mentioned in the other post, Bill gives a good set of instructions for correctly uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. I'll recommend using DriverSweeper since it is still free, unlike the excellent Driver Cleaner that Bill mentions. Just follow the same basic steps but use DriverSweeper in place of Driver Cleaner.
Keep us posted on how things go. -
OH i would LOVE to get rid of that... its pissing me off!

Quote:i just tried that Disable desktop composition, didnt work... i think that SP2 may helpsGlad you changed the wording on that.
Installing SP2 would be the first order of business for me, but I think the culprit is likely the DellDock. It uses similar coding to WindowBlinds or is just a reskinned version of WindowBlinds and can cause problems as panthera noted above. Something you didn't install but came on your PC from the OEM.
Also, since you are using an ATI video card, I would highly recommend starting off (once you get the launcher problem resolved) by setting your Catalyst Control Center and in-game graphics settings by the first post in Bill Z Bubba's ATI Issues and Settings Recommendations thread. It will save you many headaches at first. Once you get things running smoothly, you can start tweaking some settings (keeping in mind the ones Bill lets us know are definitely problematic in CoH) to increase your visual settings. Bill likes his pretty in the game, so you may find that the settings suit you fine, but you may want to play with them one setting at a time on your own.
Along those lines, you may want to download and install TweakCoH which will allow you to adjust your graphics settings before you get into the game as well as letting you change some of the fonts used by the game. It likely does more that I just haven't played with it enough to know about.
One other thing you might want to try is another setting in the Properties of your shortcut to the game. On the Compatibility tab, try putting a checkmark in "Disable desktop composition". This turns off Aero when you launch the game, and when you close it will re-enable Aero. So you can have your shiny and not have it interfere with your gaming. -

Quote:uno do know the "ughhh.... what?" part is about that HJT.... dont go on about everything else... i dont even know wth that thing isOk.
I've seen people put things on Brand New Computers that caused problems before they got the main application they usually run installed. It happens.
I've also seen enough crapware installed by OEM's to make my eyes bleed.
I've seen software that goes with the motherboard's hardware cause game problems (I'm looking at you nVidia Network Firewall, among others).
I've also seen inadvertent settings in HJT logs that had people saying "How the heck did THAT get there".
If you are going to ask for our help, please give us the information we are asking for that allows US to help YOU more efficiently. It doesn't take that long to download, install and run HJT then post the results here.
It's not like we are asking you to run a 24-hour MemTest.
also, the first thing i did when i got my computer was install CoV and then try to run, then when that failed i got everything else i used to have to my computer *steam, Teamspeak and a few others* -
Quote:ehhhhh.... what? i JUST got this computer so it 'should' be running fineAre you using WindowsBlinds or a similar skinning program?
If so, it must be disabled.
My advice is to post a HiJackThis report, and let people see if there are something conflicting running. -
im gonna skip this Silos TF and pre-sign up for the Kahn..... i REALLY wish i had my dm/sheild to 50 so i could add in ~180dps XD.... but im soo game for that.... i wanna kick poor M. Bisons buttox
-
I just got myself a brand new computer today and installed CoV into it after doing its updates and all, but everytime i try and launch it it just hangs at 'checking updates' i dont get those images or anything... and im running on Vista x64 SP2
i REALLY dont know what to do -
hmmmmm, without a rad fender/troller this will be a lil harder *no -def or -res* but as with the scrappers, they should have approx 45% def to melee, AoE, Ranged *provided they went out and IOed up for that*..... O.O i jus remembered sumthin.... we NEED an auto-hit defbuff or else LR is gonna -->**<-- me up with all his banes
Edit: they dont allow F and K to be together? O.O -
okay okay okay...... i KNOW im the tanker.... im still gonna be in...BUT.... if i at some point in time from the start to finish i just suddenly stop..... itl be because the courier will be dropping off mine and my dads computers *O.O sooo much power in mine* *starts drooling*........ *snaps outa trance* what?... eh hem... ill try and give a warning, because those sneaky buggers seem to only 'really' wanna stick round for like 10 secs *i know! >: (*
But yea.... just giving a heads up, i may not even gets me comp then **.... but yea... a VERY early heads up
-
Necro posting..... i know >_>.... but i tried to import the DM/stone builds to mids but i keep etting something saying the databuild is incompleate
-
not to be mean or anything.... but fail post.... itl NEVER happen, the devs have stated when /SD came out that it wasnt going to stalkers for thematic(?) reasons --> hiding behind a sheild...
and whatever they change caltrops into.. and hide.... i still wants some /Nin for the reason of i hate /SR.
a lose build of a /nin can match up to a tight build of a /sr *except ddr and scaling resistance* -
this may sound supid, but wouldnt it be a smarter idea to build upon a brute since it already has /elec, and just leave spaces and say whats going into them?
but from one of Umbrals builds, he has 2 end/heal HOs, 1 acc/dmg HO, Hecatomb: DMG, and i cant remember the last 2 slots... i think 2 of either of the accurate healing sets into Siphon Life -
Uno, if we get enough people backin this, we could get it to happen... take 'Claws 4 Brutes' for example.... im sooo game for a */nin scrap

Next week we'll be running the Statesman TF-levels 45-50, requiring an 8 man team, 5 missions long and worth 39 merits. Now, I've NEVER done one of these successfully, so I'm hoping some vets will join in and show us the ropes. We're not going for the MoSTF, so no worries about that. When you sign up, please let me know your toon's name, powersets, AT, level, and whether or not you've done the STF before. Thanks!
