Stop getting motion sickness

I sometimes get motion sickness while playing 3d games, it was really bad while playing the boat level of Half Life 2.

Well I just leant eating ginger before hand can help, yes the spice ginger, not ginger snaps or ginger beer.

Of course no doubt the ginger will make you puke anyway since raw ginger tastes fucking disgusting

Just got my hands on the PC Game Overlord Woot!

Lets hope it doesn’t suck like most pc games seem recently

File wont delete ?

We all have a file that wont delete for some reason, windows moans about it being used by another program etc.

Well try using unlocker it should solve your problem.

Microsoft Genuine Advantage pointless

Microsoft Genuine Advantage don’t bother with it, it stinks anyway, it sometimes malfunctions and locks you out of your pc even your legit.

Most software on the MS site that uses WGA can be legally downloaded where any way.

Turn off hibernation and save gigabytes of hard disk space

Hibernate saves an image of your desktop with all open files and documents, and then it powers down your computer. When you turn on power, your files and documents are open on your desktop exactly as you left them, the size of the hibernate file is equal to your memory size. IE if you have 1gb of ram your hibernate file is 1gb.

The hibernate file is stored in the root of your windows disk. your only see it you if have “show hidden files set”

If your dont use it (how does?), Open a command prompt window and [type] powercfg -h off [enter]

Quite frankly its a bad idea to keep turning your pc on and off, lowers life span.

Use powersaving instead.

install Vista from hard drive

Useful if you cant boot from DVD for some reason.

1. Format an NTFS drive.
2. Copy the “sources” and “boot” directories and the bootmgr, setup.exe files from the Vista ISO to the root of the new partition
3. Run boot/bootsect.exe against the new partition
4. Boot from the newly formatted drive.
5. Hold CTRL while booting.
6. Rebuild the BCD (bcdedit /createstore should do it)
7. Run setup.exe
