Basically, the problem is that the game requires Pixel Shader 1.1, and your Graphics Card doesn't have it. ( I'm speaking from experience since this happened to me once). You will have to get a new Graphics card to play that game, sorry. "if you vote me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine" - Michael P. Butler.

Forget about WEP. It doesn't work good, and gets in the way. Set up a real firewall in front of your wireless routers. Allow anyone to get on your wrieless network to see the web, fetch email (POP and IMAP), and send authenticated email. (I don't recall how to do this offhand, and few ISPs support it, but you don't want to allow them to send email unless they have a logged into their ISP.) When you do anything that needs secrutiy settup a VPN to the firewall, or better yet to the other machine.

There used to be quite a few in the old DotCom bubble. They would give away millions to get the eyeballs on their sites. My wife earned something like $8k in a year off of them. One site they had was called GiantRewards.com (which was under a completely different model than today). When they came first came out, I made $150 in a weekend and my wife made I think $75 on that weekend. Those were the good old days ;) Now, almost everything requires hundreds of hours to maybe earn a blockbuster gift card or something like that. I will be offering rewards myself for my HintsAndTips site shortly. I had originally planned to off one decent $200-$300 prize per month for the best tip (first was going to be a dvd recorder) but I decided to award points each month for each tip a person has on their memebership. This allows them to earn every month on their old posts as well as their new. Will just take a percentage of any advertising revenue (will be out of my pocket probably until fall) and buy different gifts and post them in an auction format. Many people will not have enough points to get anything each month, but can save them up and get something worth while. Also plan to offer referral points. Anyway, I do not see many sites out there that really give you anything. Even my HintsAndTips.com site will take a person a while to earn anything decent unless they post a lot of tips and refer a lot of people. One thing to watch out for is if your points/credits expire. Many of the earning programs have a clause that if you do not sign in like every month or three months that you points are lost. Some offer referal earnings, but you have to watch out, since they might require you to partake or buy things to recieve your credits. That is more like the old pyramid schemes of the past. Searching for "Rewards programs" on Google should give you a list of earnings sites that can give you information on different programs. The only one I know that is reliable is FreeRide.com but it takes for ever to earn anything. Rocky <>< www.HintsAndTips.com www.GotTheAnswerToSpam.com

It was a small company, named "automate" (I don't need to explain why :) ), then this "unisyn" came and bought then. Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:
