GP3

30% race distance

22 lap race

p1

lap 22 of 22

+28.000 to M. Hakinnen

How can I lose?

Corner

Game suddenly slows

Norton Anitvirus appears on screen

"Checking Drives"

Hear car screeching off

try to switch back to game

game crashes

Throw computer out of window.

I hate computers.

30 minutes wasted due to task scheduler. I think I'll sue microsoft for emotional trauma.

AAARRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yours in hell,

Chris

ROFL! "A computer is only as smart as its user."
Try EndItAll next time ;)).
Learning by pain - seems always to be the best method.

Hi Chris...unless you really REALLY feel you need all that stuff running
in the background,
try this.
A) get a program called enditall. It will shutdown most of the uneeded
programs. Don't worry they will restart next time you boot.
B) clik start/run/ type msconfig. choose the start button tab.
UNCHECK any item you
don't want running. This is a permant(usually) fix and won't take effect
until you reboot.
But your desktop will load faster because all those little hidden programs
aren't tying up
your hard drive and cpu as they load.
While you may have lots of programs running, all you need to play most
games/sims/programs are : systray and windows explorer .
Now lets deal with your frustration. You ran a good race...You had FUN.
You didn't
get to finish it....so you are frustrated....perhaps looking with, to quote
Gallagher, a new
set of eyes, you'll feel differently.
You ran a good race, you had FUN, you didn't get to finish...that means
YOU GET TO HAVE FUN AGAIN! Time wasted? Never. Did you get the result you
wished? That never happens all the time except in fairy tales and ***os.
But if you enjoyed it once...why not again? Hey you may not win,,,you may
not be Numero Uno..but you'll probably realize, its the racing itself that
is exciting...Racing doesn't care if you are first or four***th...Racing
only cares about that next car up ahead or that guy pressuring(sp?) you from
behind. Racing results were probably only invented to satisfy the
newspapers...

>Where can you find the enditall program? tks

http://www.yahoo.com

put:

enditall

in the box labelled "Search" and press "enter"

this little known and arcane method works for a suprising number of
seemingly insurmountable problems related to finding things on the
internet.

Now I see, you must have once had a terrible accident as a child involving an
F1 sim, so every time one comes out, your defenses instantly come up!!! Is
this true?

Quick question for all the smart alek answers:

Why don't I just pause task scheduler and save time having to restart the
computer, run suspicious software that I first have to find and download
everytime I want to play a game?

Congratulations on kicking a man when he's down.

BTW: I have since won this particular race in my own inimitable style with
a pitstop (only driver to) and 10 second lead. And I paused task scheduler
and it didn't crash.

Chris

Now honorary King of Argentina due to his godlike racing genius over taking
both Hakkinen and Schumacher and lapping 2 seconds quicker.

Henceforth I shall be known as Your Highness when replying to posts, thank
you very much my loyal subjects.

Odds for San Marino:-

Win 1/1000000
Podium 1/999999
Points finish 1/999998
*** spin ending in shattered leg putting me out for rest of season
