Maxx has cable as I have cable so a 4MB graphic zips right on in. No problem. But I try to remember that other people have dialup and that 4MB would take 28 minutes to download. But it only took me 8 seconds to send. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Yip, done that too.

bistro,
Just read back through this thread. Didn't find anything offensive https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
However, I DO believe you were involved in the thread that seeked to blame my wonderful cats for the meltdown. I'll take the apology and give it to them. They have been really depressed since all this occurred. And I don't think they like the new HP...LOL https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Still been tinkering with the Emachine. I'm either going to get it back or use it's components in a real cheap and quick build. I'll let ya know.

E-machine modding....hmmmmmm....a cardboard case might be appropriate....
There's something real good to treat the card board with, I'm thinkin' - I'm thinkin' and then you soak it overnight and if it survives you can use it to build a case. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Train did you get my Email? Computer went offline just as I sent it.

Tame rabbit at the fancy eatery went meow in real life, I read in the papers now and then.
Seems they buy 5,000 servings of rabbit and then sell 3 or 4ooo more servings?? Anyway things always hit the fan for some reason.;0

You aint gonna believe this... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I installed Myst 3 on this ME machine and immediately got an error message. After many reinstalls, it still kept coming. So off to the manufacturer site I go. Turns out it is a known issue. Here is what I got from the FAQ:
Q. I am getting an error message that says "M3 has caused an error in M3.EXE." when I try to run the game. What can I do?
A. Check to see what type of video card you have. To do this, bring up the START menu and select "run". Type in DXDIAG in the window that pops up and press OK. A window will pop up with a series of tabs near the top and have the title DirectX Diagnostic Tool written across the top. Click on the Display tab and look for the video cards name near the upper left under Name.
If you have an Intel® 815 Chipset (Direct AGP0) or all Intel chipsets and lower end sets such as S3 and SIS chipsets, this is a known problem. This error has also occurred a couple of times with users that have high end video cards but out of date drivers. Do not return your product to your retailer, as we will have a patch available shortly and quickest way to get this problem fixed is to check the www.myst3.com or www.ubisoft.com/support for updates to this FAQ. If you do not have an Intel card, try updating your drivers or playing in software mode.
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Now I have to wait for a patch to play this game. Notice my new sig...

AH GEEEEEZ! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ That just about includes most gamers! Tell you what...I'll be picking up a copy here probably this week. I'm running an Intel CPU ( 933 P3 @ 1.03 ghz)---have a VIA chipset mobo. Will be curious to see if MYST III will run the way it's supposed to. Gonna be real 'pyst' if it doesn't..... Will let you know when it happens.
(Using a Asus GeForce 2 GTS too....is that "high end" in their book?)

Oh Oh, maxx at least you have paved the way for me as Myst is the first computer game that has caught my eye. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

It's a great game, greengoose. Can take your time exploring (incredible graphics) without
worrying if some 3-headed ghoul is gonna jump out and demulsify your head...
You can go to their Homepage and get some background to the storyline. Or...I can send you an email with a 4,567 page explanation....
Max, take my advice and dump that game. Its not worth it Man. Come on now, it has done cost you a PC once......LOL

Please remember to let us know if it worked or not...JJ
Don't listen to him, maxx!!!! You just keep buying new systems until you get one that'll run the game!!!!! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Dodge, I'm a "Myster"...what can I say. I played Myst1 on a friend's computer, years ago. I played Riven(Myst2) on sony playstation. I'm going to play Myst3 even if I have to buy a CRAY. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Grengoose1,
This is the only game that I make a point to play. It's more a puzzle than a game. I could take or leave the others. Just can't get into large beast-like critters, armed to the teeth, chasing me around.
Bistro,
I thought VIA chipsets were for AMD processors. I didn't know they would go with Intel processors. Learn something everyday. Let me know how it goes. In the meantime, I'll take advantage of the delay and try to learn more about this machine and ME. Hey, what does this button do...

https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Looks like my first draft of a research paper I finished recently....
Was fascinated by Myst, Riven was good, but didn't enjoy it as much; "Real Myst" was fun--but didn't get a chance to finish it. In between the only games I ever played were the Tex Murphy series and Unreal (Myst on steroids).
[This message has been edited by bistro (edited 05-18-2001).]
Bistro,
Actually, that was my Final draft. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Greengoose,
Just a thought here for people taking advantage of your indexing of the Delta threads. Perhaps you should put in a note telling people not post in those old threads, but to post there questions in the most recent Delta thread. Otherwise you might find all those old threads becoming active amongst the current stuff. Might get confusing if a whole bunch of Deltas started floating around. Or perhaps ask the mods to lock them down so they can be read, but not posted to. Just a thought. Thanks. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

maxx, good point. Will add that.
Any body ever do this?
Bistro I'll pass on your Email offer until I catch up on ALL THE REST of the readings you and Train and alot of others I would name if you ask me real nice.
Dodge, I play chess and therefore Myst is of interest.

Thanks Mo,
If Intel processors will work with VIA chipsets, the question is begged for the reverse. Will AMD processors work with Intel chipsets. The reason I ask is this. Before the disaster struck, I was in the process of looking for a suitable motherboard for the build. I seemed to notice that everytime the processor was AMD, the mobo had a VIA chipset. Thanks. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

There are several chipset out there that work with AMD, it is just that VIA got on the AMD bandwagon first and with both feet as they seemed to know that Intel was fixing make a big mistake. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Also,heard on the news that AMD is coming out with a new??? cpu for notebooks that use a lot less juice. but just as powerful.

Honestly, I know you guys have been reading some of my replies lately in the other threads. I must be getting tired--most of them have been really stupid--misread posts, etc.. I'm thinking of taking a break; maybe write my autobiography...thinking of calling it "It Takes A Village To Raise An Idiot".
And you presently live there?

I feel like a complete failure. Here all this time spent on building/modding tips, and someone comes along who has the unmitigated gall to actually state his desire to have an emachine....let's all quit and start a silent commune somewhere in Death Valley...or joint-invest in a franchise that sells tire pumps for canoes....go rappelling off a cliff using dental floss....play "bobbing for hand grenades"...
