excuse me, but I do believe this should be in the Wow Pite of Woe section?

What kind of an outrage is this?

There's always EQ2!

I've been having an amazingly good time this week playing WOW. With my job being a pain, I must need the escape or sumfin...

Someone come buy me a new computer, I cant log in, and now I am sad. Maybe I just need a new soundcard, I have a new video card. Anyone have any suggestions that are good but relatively inexpensive?

Are you running SP2 and DirectX 9.0c ?

Look online for refurbished complete systems. I picked up 5 workstations for $250 apiece earlier this year from HP. From there, they just needed extra ram(for our needs) and you would need to get a video card(I'm sure Taxx has one or two laying around no?).

We just got her an FX 5200 about 2 months ago. She has a soundblaster video card and like a gig of ram...I don't understand why it's making her system reboot all the time.

Have you tried double-clicking the orc face like I suggested?

yes, LOL

The only thing weird is that my C drive only has 7 mb, so I bought a slave drive with 180? I think? So I run WoW from my F drive, and for some reason my system downloads SLOOOOOOW so I just have Taxx dl the patches, out them up on our network, and then I run it from there after I install it on my computer.

Change the swap space setting to the second HDD... or move the 180 Gig HDD to your primary spot and run off it, versus the tiny one.

Will it work without windows being installed on the bigger drive? I'd really just like to totally get rid of the small drive but I don't know how to copy it over without losing data already on the larger one...is there an easy way to do this?

Power supply is enough for current needs? Fans all working properly?

What happens when you need to reboot or the computer reboots itself? Did someone put a javascript file in your startup that reboots your computer after an hour automatically?

No, it's like anytime she hands in a quest the computer completely reboots. It could be the power supply though.

Go to Symantec's website and download an eval version of Ghost. Install both drives into the machine - leaving the 7GB one as the Master and the 180GB as the Slave. Run Ghost - imaging the 180GB drive with the data from the 7GB disk and expand the space to fill the entire drive. Power off, remove the 7GB drive and jumper the 180GB to be Master. Boot up... it should work - if not, you still have the 7GB to plug back in.
