Hi guys (& gals, if applicable ;)), as practically all of my computing hardware has become outdated to obsolete in the meantime, I really need to get a new notebook, and one candidate I'd so far favour would be the new/current Dell Latitude E6440 in the configuration with AMD/ATI graphis and med...

Hi guys,

just popped in to wish you all a merry Christmas 2013 - hope you'll all have a good time with your families & friends!

Greetings from Munich & all the best wishes!

Brick: No question, I miss you guys, too. Nevertheless I haven't reinstalled BF1942 on my current, also outdated notebook (that replaced my older, even more outdated, broken notebook), yet. Especially as I just recently tried to buy a new, current one - but that plan failed rather miserably. I decid...

Nice - but that rather appears to be a Flash version of Wolfenstein 3D (ID software) and not of the original Castle Wolfenstein (Muse), which some might still remember from their Apple IIs, Atari 400/800s, C64s... Greetings from Munich! Manfred / lini P.S.: Zouga: That on the first glance strange la...

Just wanted to drop in and wish all of you frohe Weihnachten und ein gutes neues Jahr!

Gnome: Erroneous BIOS settings reports sometimes also tend to turn up, when the battery is getting low. I.e., might be worth to invest in a new CR2032 cell and give it a try...

Server list functionality is back - here at least. I've just tried: First with the old server list files in the custom profile still renamed, then also with the old server list files renamed back to their original file names: Works no problemo! So, for all those, who followed my recommendation and j...

Alf: Not intending to scare you, but modern malware conglomerates can be rather hard to kill completely. Hence I'd suggest to run a couple of additional checks with at least some good tools like Malwarebytes' Antimalware and GMER. And also check for other anomalies: For example, if the Explorer refu...

On a sidenote, imo it kinda sucks that GameSpy doesn't even seem to deem it necessary to post some information on that problem at prominent position either on their main site or in their forums - I've surfed around there a bit and found no official statement yet. One would think that they should rat...

Same problem here - and I'd also think it's the server list host that is unreachable. Deleting and recreating complete profiles isn't really necessary, though. All you need to do is delete or rename the two server list files (standard & favs) for that profile, then the existing profile will work...

...but nevertheless: It was Sysadmin Appreciation Day on Friday...

...so, our dear JiF-Sysadmins of the forum and game servers, be hereby appreciated!

Thanks for your work and greetings from Munich!

I do that about once a year on my old notebook - unfortunately cpu fan & cooler only, 'cause for being able to reach the gpu fan & cooler one would have to almost completely disassemble that thing. Last cleaning time only was a couple of weeks ago and took me a bit longer than usual, as I ha...

I'm running mine with NoCD patch ever since the combo DVD reader/CD burner drive in my old notebook had given up, i.e. a couple of years now already. Haven't had any issues with PB.

Thanks, guys! Had a "gud un" - just can't move anymore after well over 500 g of filet steak plus 3 baked potatoes with plenty of peppered cream and butter beans as well as a nice trifle after that... Anyone know where to buy a trolley for my belly? :hihi: Grinnings from Munich! Manfred / l...
