Strange ... I have that exact problem on my desktop (P4 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM, GeForce FX5200) ... but not on my laptop (9300, 1GB RAM, 6800Go) *touch wood* - it's dead smooth, no jerking or anything. Both installs are UT2k4 patch 3355. I've...

Has anyone who has Cygwin installed on their 9300 (and, I presume, the XPS2) noticed that in some X applications (eg. xterm and programs running within an xterm), the left three media keys - mute, vol down and vol up - also generate...

If it were my computer and was using it for anything other than straight gaming and entertainment (ie. losing all the data on it would mean more to me than a spoiled night in), I'd replace the hard drive completely. Hard drives...

Even better, wait for a deal when they throw in Complete Care for free Good luck, tell us how it goes!

sounds to me like that's a temporary file that got left over from an install ... I wouldn't worry about that file as such. I'd be more worried about what's causing it to become corrupt though ... I wouldn't delete it just yet, if only so...

Sounds like something really strange then ... there's a flag set in the partition table that should tell Windows to check the disk in the startup phase. It's beginning to sound a little virusy (in that if it were a hardware error causing...

I would *really* check the hard disk first, at the very least using chkdsk /f ... if this problem is hardware related, reinstalling will NOT fix the problem and you'll need to replace the hard drive (and given the symptoms, I recon the...

My gut feeling is either you've got a virus or your hard drive has gone whacko. In either case, your hard drive access is screwed. Have you been able to drop to a command prompt and run chkdsk /f ? If it comes back and doesn't find...
