Just hooked up by 2nd "PC" in the spare room

:russ:

I had a spare monitor, HDMI, mouse, SD Card, usb hub and keyboard.

Only had to buy the Pi, the micro USB power supply and a wireless USB adapter.

Formatted the SD card to boot linux and after some terminal magic, I was browsing this thread :noah:

No more than a total $60 bucks spent to get it running.

fukk these GTA4 fakkits. I was in a free play match with like 14 people on the server, huge spawn kill fest going on, I see an infernus, hop in and just start cruising, at this point I've been cruising for like 15 minutes without killing anyone and the host of the server says, "Everybody name someone you want to get kicked! 3 votes gets the person kicked" and immediately everyone was like (my live name is larrybirdthough)

"kick larry"

"larry bird"

"larry"

"larrybird"

Wait, if I use a system restore disk, can that be used instead of fresh windows install?


eh...it doesn't look like it :patrice:

fresh install is better, any improvements in performance yet? if you rolled windows back to a time before you installed skyrim does it not flicker any more?

I couldn't roll back before the time i re-installed skyrim because windows erased my restore points at the start of the month :patrice:

No performance improvements yet, and @2gunsup helped with what seemed like every possible solution. I gotta do a fresh windows install I think (which I really, really, really do not want to do:sadcam:)

You got me thinking, since I made the restore disc not too long ago, can I use that to do a system restore?

a system restore shouldnt affect the "personal files" but it depends on your disc and plus i wouldnt count on it, anything really important or a large file you may want to back up
