Problems with 64Bit.....?

Well.. sad news. I didn't do the OS install. I got side tracked.. had other stuff to do tonight.. (One of those things I Did.. was a girl) Sorry, tried to keep that PG.

that and some errands I had to run.. now I'm tired and going to bed.. I'll do the OS tomorro.

I can get FEAR for FREE on there website. entire game. or a demo or what?
and Crysis is amazing. I can't wait to try it with a better GFX card. I'm pretty far but been busy with new build and have not played in a while. but I'll get back to it ASAP. I really like it so far. How is FEAR?

FEAR for free here: FEAR - First Encounter Assault Recon

Thanks for NOTHING Dmex lol. I already purchased and installed FEAR. Why didn't you tell me sooner lol? I had a heck of a time installing it til I stumbled across the solution then it was easy. Well At least I got it for like 10 bucks with all both expansion packs so I don't feel so raped.............

Gunther, your g15 will work as a normal keyboard until you use the installation disk and/or the driver upgrade from logitech. I did so many installs lol that I don't quite remember what I did with my g15. I THINK the last time I installed VISTA and my g15 I didn't do the disk, I just downloaded the latest drivers and updates from the logitech site but don't take that as gospel, I really don't remember. One thing I DO know though is that VISTA will see and recognize the G15 as a "generic usb keyboard" until you install the software. Now that I think more upon it, I'm pretty sure that I used the download from logitech rather than the installation disk the last time I did it. How is THAT for a Teflon brain answer lol.

LOL, yeah sorry I just forgot to tell you its free before you even asked...Ill remember next time

It's free.. but only the multiplayer part.. not the other..

and I have the G11.. not the 15. and when I plugged it into my current machine.. it didn't work at all until the drivers finished installing. Vista called it Generic USB keyboard then once it finished it said G11.. and I ddin't install from logitech. I just let vista install the drivers automatically like it always does.. and that worked Great.. I might need there software to set the G keys tho... not sure.

but ya, it didn't work til all were downloaded.. I'll try it. if not I'll just use the old one..

ok tonight I'll do my OS install

OK, OS install is basically finished.. one question tho.

OK.. so settings are liked you said.. Floppy, then CD Drive, then HD
I did everything right, no problems. install did everything. went through all the steps. Now Here's my question.

It went through the main steps during install.. then when it did Updates.. it restarted.. loaded from Disk Again.. and went to last step.. Completing Installation.. Then it Restarted Again.. so from here WHAT do I do.

It just restarted after Completing Installation. Now I'm at the Press F1 to continue, since no floppy is in.. If I hit continue it will load from the Disk again.. but it already said completing Installation.. Should I load from the Disk anyways??

Or should I take the Disk out now, and then hit Continue???

LET me kno ASAP as I'm right here waiting

EDIT:

Nevermind...

Finished.. already chose name and all that Jazz.. Now it's checking my computers Performance.. Thanks for your help dudes.. everyone!

I'll post back in a bit

OK. everything is going good so far,

64bit works fine, I downloaded all my mobo and GFX drivers..

got Speedfan, CPUID, CoreTemp, RivaTuner, and 3Dmark06..

so far it's all good. My CPU temps are OK. considering I have the Tuniq Tower cooler. I'm missing 2 main input fans, so those will help the temps go lower also.. but for now Here's a little Screen shot of the Coretemp showing them..

one question bubba.. when PC boots it stops cuz doesn't detect a floppy drive.. so should I change the 1st boot to the CD/DVD drive, and second boot to the Hd.. and completely get rid of floppy from the list.. afterall i dont have one. that would make it boot without me having to hit F1 to continue right..?

anything else I should do. I'll get more pics soon

Hey dmex, thanks!


Later Ted

Boot order may not affect the system trying to *find* a floppy drive - if you have the floppy set to a particular drive and it is not actually installed, you may get this 'error' even if you change the boot order.

Older BIOSs also used to allow you to set whether the BIOS would actually *check* for the presence of a floppy drive, but newer BIOSs should (almost always) have the option of simply setting the floppy drive to "not installed" or "not applicable" or whatever the option allowed under floppy drives. Then it will not try to search for the floppy in the first place.

I also, as a rule, disable the FDC since I do not use it at all - but that is just me :P

well i just changed the boot order.. first is the CD/DVD drive, second is the HD.. and third WAS the floppy and I set it to disabled and it still stopped during boot at floppy and requires me to hit F1.. can anyone PLEASE, help me get rid of that. Please, Please!!
