It's windows 7, but none of the programs are applicable. When you look at a zipped file it says opens with, windows explorer, or something along those lines, thats what I would like to associate the .rar files with, atleast for now, but explorer isnt an option.

Hello, long time since posting here. Having a slight problem. I have assosiated .rar files with adobe. Since getting F1 2010 for PC I have been using quite a few mods. Some of which are .rar files, so whenever I download some mods, I can't use them as it tries to open them in adobe and thats not what I'm after. Trouble is when I go to re set programes in the default programes, it asks me what would I rather use for .rar files other than adobe. I just want them to be zipped files that I can use from there.
Or worded differently, how do I change file type to zipped rather than adobe.
Any suggestions?

Quite like it but I cant get my steering wheel to work properly with it, keeps dropping connection, for the couple of laps I have manged to put together properly though it's pretty cool. Looking forward to the dx11 patch.
Fuck sake, now I need to go to work tommorow and hear how rangers held off the onslaught of the might man utd and survived (I'm a celtic fan). You cunts, you better hump them when next time round, I couldnt bear another draw/win
It was my understanding prone was removed because it made the charecters too difficult to make out on the consoles due to there lower resolutions (mind you I would of thought a prone sniper on PC with full settings having all the lighting effects cover him would be damn hear impossible in it's self). Rather than any type of game play ''balancing''.jaydevil2003 wrote:
I think that gameplay acctually improved when they added the prone delay. I ran into too many people that had prone/jump macro'd to the point where they litterally looked like they were flying. Seriously, and it made them almost impossible to hit. To me, this was a issue, But, I think they handled it fine. I like how bf2 plays now. As for UT, No one complained about it cause those that had issues with it, just didn't play it. I for one HATED it. Everything doesn't need to be realistic, but, I think that there isn't anything wrong with trying to make the game better. More than campers hate bunny hoppers and dolphin divers. It got to the point that those that knew how to aim were unable to compete unless they used he same tactics. Using lag and a hitbox delay glitch in this way takes away from the game more than just its realism. It makes BF just like Unreal Tournament,CS and Halo. Simply, If I wanted to play Halo I would buy an X-box. If wanted to play UT I would play that game. But, games evolve and developers try to work out old issues like Bunny hopping and diving. I just don't like that they are just giving up, I agree that it is an insult to FPS game players. Writing it out completly is simply lazy. I like more freedom of movement when I play a game (leaning, jumping, prone ect...) not less. I am willing to accept that leaning makes the game too much of a camperfest and can live without it. Just as I think that Dolphin diving/hopping makes the game too much of a run and gun(no fear of running out in the open) I think that they will provide us with what we will buy. If not BF3 then the next game that comes out that manages to tackle making a FPS/bf2 clone with all the bells and whistles the gaming community appreciates.RDMC wrote:
Entirely removing prone just so we have no 'dolphing diving' and 'bunny hopping' is an insult to the entire FPS gaming industry since it first started. I can remember playing the first UT. That was one big hopping fest and yet..nobody bitched about it. So when did it all go wrong?
Tbh, remove it from the consoles where it might be bloody annoying because it is extremely difficult to keep tracking of jumping players, but on the PC is it just plain simple. All those ideas of prone delay or your accuracy is off might be more realistic but also slow down gameplay, which in terms is just pure shit. Just look at BF2 after they started implementing prone delays and such, the gameplay went to shit.
And I think the keyword in all this mess is 'realism' for some reason this has become the keyword in game development these days..everything has gotta be 'realistic' but then again we do get to shout around Javelins at infantry in urban enviroment, because apparantly that is realistic, no wait that is fun! And so is hopping around and dolphing divings just to evade enemy fire plus it offers a form of defence against campers, because we all know it is the campers that hate bunny hoppers and dolphin divers..
Conclusion: just bring it back, because people that do actually know how to aim don't give a rats ass whether you jump or not.
/rant over.
Conclusion: They should just Fix the issues and not be so damn lazy by just writing prone out of the game completely.
/No rant okay maybe a little but, i'm almost done...
I thought it was going to be another night race. I am aware the track isnt finished yet but it looks a bit bland imo. Still if it promotes better racing that can only be a good thing, I remain to be convinced.

I don't see why, surely everyone knows if you gain a place by cutting a corner, you give the place back straight away. Not getting at you specifically, but why does anyone, including alonso, think this was some sort of special case? as kez said, when hamilton took kimi in spa, he gave it back (funily enough he still got penalised after that race, think because your meant to wait till the second turn or something in the rules).eskimo_sammyjoe wrote:
There needed to be a penalty of some sort, but the drive through was a little excessive I reckon
What was different about this situation? What did he expect? Kubica is not going to compromise his line to let alonso through, why would he? Everyone knows you gota give it back, end of discussion. Alonso should of known that and so should the team. if he had, he would of gained the place anyway when kubica retired. He made it hard on himself by not giving the position back. it doesnt matter how the events conspire to you cutting the track, be it on your own, or by being pushed, you cant cut and get away with it. Otherwise it be just constantly cutting the track where a better, shorter line is available. Hell, the could of just used the old siverstone course in that case and not bother with that whole section. Am not kidding btw, if someone said they where blocked and had to go the other way, do they get away with it too? Cut is a cut, give the place back and get on with it.
Someone please explain to me why they think alonso was justified in keeping the place? Every other occasion, like in spa 2008, you give it back, why is this different?
Keeping an eye on Button as he is supposedly kinder to his tyres, if he manages to get himself some clear air he could very well jump some of the ones who are tearing there tyres to bits, especially towards the end.
I would just so I could troll forums and have people go ZOMG NOOB KNOW NOTHING ABOUT PEEE CEEEEEEES whyd u buy it!!!!
Where they even using the F Duct in turn 8? Why would you want to stall the rear wing and reduce down force in a corner like that where you need as much as possible? Maybe you mean it wasnt enough to make up for how much they where loosing in turn 8 which I suppose I would agree with.Mekstizzle wrote:

http://www.worldcarfans.com/11005302656 … -for-crashRed Bull's F1 chiefs on Sunday backed Sebastian Vettel after the young German's crash with teammate Mark Webber in the Turkish grand prix.
Australian Webber said the sister RB6 turned into him during the overtaking manoeuvre, but team advisor Helmut Marko pointed a clear finger of blame at the 33-year-old and his race engineer Ciaron Pilbeam.
"Webber was slower and Vettel had immense pressure from Hamilton," Marko said on German television RTL.
"Unfortunately, Mark was not told about the situation accurately by his race engineer," he explained.
But Marko was also critical of Webber's behaviour.
"He had radioed the pits to say he was slower on the straights (than Vettel). He knew the situation and had just been informed about the pressure Hamilton was putting on (Vettel).
"Vettel was so much faster than he had to pass. If Webber and he had braked together, then Hamilton would have passed Vettel," said Marko.
Initially, team boss Christian Horner had indicated he was angry at both drivers, but eventually it was Webber who took the blame.
"It looks as though he didn't leave Sebastian enough space. It was very clear he (Vettel) was by his side and in front. But I still have to speak with both of them," said the Briton.
I am somewhat unsure about this to be fair, at first I was shouting vettel u thick german fuck (I dont like him, hes too much of a shit in my eyes). After seeing it a few times I am not so sure, but blaiming webber is just unreal. I hope webber kicks there heads in like a proper aussie should.
Didnt give him enough room, the daft bastard turned into his team mate ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know where i can source a replacement motherboard tray for a lian li armoursuit PC-P80.
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/ … s_id=24607
Took me an eternity to find that but even if it was in stock, I'd rather try and source it in europe (preferably UK). The tray I have has bent and I'd quite like to get rid of this case as I now use a TJ-07 but bent tray is making it difficult to get offers on it
Thanks for any hints.

In my ongoing saga of the new build, it appears the retailer I bought my motherboard from, has rejected the warranty on my P6T Deluxe becaus of two bent cpu pins. I have been fortunet (in the past) to never have an issue with a mobo so I was wondering, is that really grounds to reject it. I'm to say the least a little pissed off since thats me £200+ down having to now go out and buy a board to replace it.

Certainly hope so, Currys want £35 for a DVI cable, but then I did just spend £330 on a GPU for fuck all reason so why not!
One other thing, my PSU is making a very loud static like noise when I turned it on today, really loud, I think its scupered aswell

I have been half arsed trying to fix my machine for a month now. I finially got my 5870 vapour X in yesterday, booted my machine and I am getting no picture on the display.
I get the same problem on both my 4850 and 5870. I have tried it plugged into my HD TV aswell via DVI-HDMI adapter, no dice. So I am fairly sure it isnt the GPU (less my 5870 is teh fucked aswell) or the monitor.
Motherboard fault maybe?
All it does is go, digital, analogue, digital, light goes onn and off, then the screen just sits black. I cant see the BIOS or anything. Machine seems to run fine, but I just cant see sod all.

It is going to take atleast a respin, over even a die shrink before fermi becomes a contender for me. It doesnt justify the wait nor price over a 5870 when it comes to price and performance. And if I really thought to myself, well, I will pay the extra over a 5870 for it, why not go a bit further and get a 5970? Atleast for gaming.
GTX 470's scores where reasonable though considering price point, atleast it is an alternative to the ATi cards. I dont really see the 480 being useful to anyone less you are after Nvidia specific technologies and I certainly am not.

They do not need to. If they do, it willl purely be to take some of Nvidias launch week light.
Practically everyone is expecting them to sell out on launch day, they simply wont be able to meet the demand. You are looking at late april before you get a sniff of them at reasonable prices.IrishGrimReaper wrote:
They could come down in price a few days after release, I bet if the price was €800 people would buy it just for the fact it's Nvidia's new card.
Would love a 470 myself, even sli. But price has to be fair first.
I myself was waiting on them, and I might still go for a 480 sli to go with the new dell 27'' I have my eye on. However from what we are hearing on the reported performance, dont have much faith personally. Nor do I think AMD will really need to drop the prices of the 5800 series cards. Although that said from the benchies we have seen so far, it appears the 400 series does pull a better minimum fps which is very important to me (more so than average to be honest).
Price could go either way, but for launch I dont expect to see any under £400 (480s).
Hey guys, put a machine together today but it isnt for playing ball. Basically getting no picture and I am sure its the graphics card (which is the only non new part in the build).

Now, I was all set for the GTX 480 release (tis why I got the Corsair PSU) if not two, but my GTX 260 was litterally starting to cry so RMA'd it.
Meaning my 4850 came out of retirement, but alas I killed my old mobo, so the whole thing got replaced (I was going to anyway). Still, thing is when booting it up, I get get anything on the screen. Everything is connected, I tried it through my plasma, I still get no image, so I am sure the GPU is causing the issue, but, I dont get why.
Would leaving it basically unused for months mean I cant use the card?
Kind of pissed because I cant play BC2 (btw, if anyone could jump on that server in my sig and give me a nod if its actually working, be really appreciated). And no word yet how my RMA is doing other than they have received it.

How about this, it is also saying no HD detected and when I remove both sticks of RAM, it doesnt turn off, but I get no picture. :S
Well I had a go at that, went at it with a dust blaster, no mm left unblasted and no joy.
Thing is, I turned it on earlier and got no image on screen, went and did something else, came back half and hour later and it was still on. Too bad I couldnt get an image on screen. Took it to bits, (fourth time now) and getting same problem. I pressed tab at the start and got it to detect everything, but alas, I get the same error, again.

So I took my PC appart so I could RMA a GTX 260. Put a 4850 back into the pc and I get:
USB Over Current Status Detected, Computer will shut down in 15 seconds
Now, I thought maybe I had some sort of short so I took the PC to bits (three times now) and it still does it. Even with all USB devices detached, (even from mobo header) I still get the issue. It also comes away with no keyboard detected.
I am now starting to think when I had it in bits, static or something has damaged the board thus it is fucked.
Can anyone think of somthing else to try?
The board is an Asus P45 P5Q.

Hey guys, I am somewhat in the market for a new monitor (may actually be going eyefinity, it looks ). Anyways, as I look around, I seem to be seeing a lot more 16:9 screens vs 16:10 (or 1920x1080 rather than 1920X1200 for those of you who dont understand what I mean).

NEC have some new gear that I suspect we will see at CES and again, there 27'' is expected to be 2560x1440, just like the mac (and apparantly the dell).
My main point is, where should I put my allegiance so to speak. I wouldnt attempt to justify 3x30'' monitors, for price or practicallity, but if the 27'' screens are priced realtivly well, I may go for my eyefinity set up. I'd prefer 16:10.

So whats the deal with BF3, is it PC only? I assume we arent hearing much about it since it would detract from BC2, but I have done some googlazoring, and I cant help but think it's hot air. Shhhhhhhhhurley, they wouldnt ignore the consoles?
So why do anything? They have a card, that has it's place in the market. What reason other than trying to fuck customers is there to rebrand a card, if, ''especially in this ecnomy'' money is tight, why go to the trouble exactly?The_Sniper_NM wrote:
There is no reason, especially in this economy, for Nvidia to throw R&D money at developing a version of G200 that has 120 stream procs when they had G92.
Knowone is really disputing there motives in selling the card (though I would of thought you would try and take the market forward in all price ranges, it isnt 2007 anymore). They can sell G92s for as long as there are buyers, and good luck to them. This rebranding though is only ever about suckering people into thinking it's a new product.
If it's the same price and same performance why would they change the name other than to succer less informed consumers into thinking there buying into 300 series tech? That's all this buisiness practise ever was, ATi have done it in the past aswell. It's to shift stock.The_Sniper_NM wrote:
