I am currently going through an ugly separation with my wife. I am almost certain that she has tapped my home phone line and I am wondering if there is anyway that a computer savvy person can actually record or obtain transcripts of my ICQ chats. A good friend of mine is a lawyer and we sometimes st...

OH...you were talking about setting the rate in quake2. I thought you meant setting the rate of my modem connection somehow. I'll try it.

Thanks for the info FP, I'm afraid that you are probably right about my ISP being the problem.

Question: when you say use a rate value of 7500.1 where exactly do I enter this value?

I understand the issues associated with a cable connection and the available bandwidth due to users online. I know that the more people using up bandwidth, the worse my connection is going to be. However, lately my connection has sucked something fearse during peak hours (mainly evenings). That is b...

does anyone know if Micro$oft has come up with a fix to the rodent problem yet?

I've tried every fix that I have found on the web related to this problem and nothing has worked. I have found out that many people are experiencing the same problems that I am and that both Micro$oft and Logitech are currently working on a fix for the problem. I think I'll just unistall xp for the ...

I just installed windows xp and now when I play q2 my mouse feels all "sloppy." It's almost like driving with a steering wheel with too much slack in it. I've d/l'ed the xp drivers from logitech and I've got the acceleration on the mouse shut off but I'm still having problems. Has anyone e...

I keep waiting for it to die so I can buy a new setup but the damn thing just keeps going and going and going...

Did you try disabling the audio and running it in OpenGL 3Dfx mode Penguin, yes I did. still got kicked. Is there any way that I can purge all traces of the old drivers from my system without having to go into the registry? Perhaps there's something screwy in the autoexec.cfg I'm using. It is the o...

VidmanII, WOW, I haven't talked with you in a long time! Howz thingz? Remember that animated gif that I made for you oh so many years ago? I actually still have that on one of my website servers :) check it out: http://www.angelfire.com/md/echoquake/images/VIIANI.gif Anyway, I'm very interested in ...

I'm looking for something to replace a 2d/3d V3 3000. I don't need the latest and greatest (read: most expensive) just a good card at a good price.

thanks

Well, After following Flying Penguin's advice I found out 2 things: 1) Quake II was never designed to be played in software mode :D , and 2) my problem's are most definitely 3D related. In Open GL mode I couldn't play online for more than 45 seconds without getting kicked but after switching to soft...

yea, Q2 worked great and the worst part of it is, I just got a cable modem a few months ago where now, instead of pinging servers at +250, I'm coming in under 100 but usually can't stay in a game long enough to enjoy it. Some nights however, I can play up to 20 minutes or so before getting booted. M...

Hi Blade,
yup, everything worked fine before and everything else is working great now. It's just Q2 that is giving me trouble. I guess I could install Q3 to see if I have the same problems but frankly I don't really like the game enough to go through the trouble...

I haven't installed any other games on this rig since the reformat so I'm not sure if it's just a quake2 problem or not. Also, I'm not overclocking and even have one of the old 3 Finger's Kick Ass Cooling Fans pointed at the card so I'm pretty sure that it's not over heating. Actually, at this point...
