Loading a map

When I try to load a map nothing happens. It doesn't crash or take me back to the desktop, it just doesn't load. The progress bar doesn't move an inch. I have Geforce 2 MX 440, Athlon XP 1800+, 512 MB Ram.

Have you updated your chipset drivers? Can you provide any more information about your system?

I have updated my Geforce 2 MX440 to 44.71. The latest version is 45.23 but when I update to that version my Warcraft 3, NFS: Hot Pursuit 2, and Madden NFL 2004 all have some kind of missing artwork problem. So I'm sticking to version 44.71.

I fixed the problem. I just had to turn the resolution down to the lowest. But now there's another problem. The mouse pointer won't move when I start the game. This problem started while I was playing and I got a blue screen telling me the problem. It wasn't my RAM's problem so it must have been a program problem. I have Windows XP Professional Edition.

Wow -- really? I haven't heard of that fix before.

Your system can handle a higher resolution than 640*480, so I would suggest turning it up one or two notches to see if that corrects your new problem. This can be done by doing the following:

Browse to EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\Profiles\<your profile>, open Video.con, find "game.setGameDisplayMode," and change "640 480" to "800 600" to start with.

If your mouse is USB, are you by any chance using a PS/2 adapter with it? Those can be known to cause some problems.

I'd also suggest taking a look at your log file.

I don't think there was a log file. I only got a link a Microsoft support site which led me to http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp. I used it to check for problems in my RAM but there wasn't any. Now there is no way for me to play Battlefield 1942, I even reinstalled the game. Just forget about this.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
