Stefan or anyone, is there a big differance in the different models of the new Core i7 Proccessors? Is the 920 2.66 fine or is the 940 2.93 model way better?

The one is slightly quicker than the other one but I don't think the slight speed increase justifies the price unless you are loaded with cash. 920 will be fine. You aren't really going to notice 0.27 mhz difference imho.

My laptop is just completely & utterly fucked. It crashes way too often.

Any idea how to detect if it's a hardware or software problem?

First you should format and set new Windows, just to know if it's software problem or not. Usually such things happen when Hard drive is displaced or damaged.

Do you have any external Hard Drive?

1tb External HD is not so expensive (60$ for a 500gb, and 99$ for a 1T), imho, the best way is to put your data on couple of DVDs.

P/s: nobody play C.S 1.6 anymore:(.

Yea I think I should get an external HD.

I don't have one right now, Anne Marie. Well, I do have one but that one is very unstable too, sometimes it just refuses to be turned on. (Damn I just realize how dirty that sentence is. :D)

But yea, I think they're having an IT fair next week and I'll wait till then to get one and I'll reformat my laptop then.

If you are getting online cracked download- go for it, if you buying it- don't. Bad mix of Warhammer series and Civilization series.

I bought it :p It seems quite good, but there are limited game modes and that makes it not worth its money. I usually buy a PC game every 6 months nowadays since I'm more of a PS3 gamer, and play Football Manager 90% of my time on the PC, so buying the game didn't harm me.

Hey folks. Anyone here play Warcraft III and use the patches from CuteWorm?

I ran into a problem earlier and found a solution:

http://forums.dota-allstars.com/index.php?showtopic=275365#

On the surface, it seems that I have solved the problem (Can't access run --> cmd or regedit) but in the steps mentioned in that link, I can't run those .inf files. Anyone know how to do it? I'm using Windows XP btw. And yes, Ehsan, I'm looking at you. :p
Guys, I really need your help.

How do I run .inf files in both Windows XP and Vista? It's very urgent. I've tried Googling it up but I just ran to jargons and more computer lingo.

And that's it?

The instructions found in the file (If I open it with Notepad) said that I have to 'right click' the file and select 'install' but there was no such option.

What you need to do is:
1. Fix your HOSTS file as it has been modified so you cannot visit all the websites

More technical information:
The 'hosts' file is located in different folders for the different version of Windows:
Windows Vista = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Win 98/ME = C:\WINDOWS


Look for entries like these and remove them:

?????????? dota-allstars.com
?????????? www.dota-allstars.com

?????????? getdota.com
?????????? www.getdota.com

?????????? garena.com
?????????? www.garena.com

?????????? zincplay.com
?????????? www.zincplay.com

?????????? dotapod.com
?????????? www.dotapod.com

????

It's the 3rd post in that thread, not the first one. And even then, you'd only see the "Right click install" instruction if you download the .zip file and the instruction is in one of the files.

I really can't get your problem, sorry :) It says Inf file is if your regedit is disabled. Is it?
