Actualy, now that I posted, it works! Maybe a mod should delete/lock this thread.

Ok, so I fill in the https://support.xisto.com/ just as stated with the web address finance.astahost.com and the rest filed in and click submit. I then get the message that it is not a valid subdomain of Xisto, this isn't Xisto so I click ok and the type yes to confirm and it process my request. I get the completed message and now my site doesnt work, my cpanel doesnt work and it recons my ftp address is ftp.finance.astahost.com.com which isn't right. Please help.

Anyone who doesn't use a Anti Virus or at least a Firewall is an idiot. No. Seriously. Do you have any idea how crapped up you PC will be if you don't do at least a scan a month for viuses and a scan a week for ad/spy ware? Maybe you should read my guide on these fourms Optimize You PC .

That Studio Traffic thing appears two good to be true. Actually, it doesn't look good. If you only get 1% of what you invested per day they could quite well be paying you your own money for 100 days and then stopping. It does seem slightly ridiculous, investing $100 and making $1 a day. You would have to be a member for 100 days just to make your money back.

Most people that use the wonder that is X-Fire know that Yahoo have filed a lawsuit against them. I think it is just an attempt to buy up X-Fire's technolodgy. What are your views on it?

I played the original sim city for about 5 minutes before I just went aaggg and imediately ininstaled it an put the disk in the bin. I also snapped the disk so no-one else could face the horror that is Sim City original.

You haven't played the GC versions???!?!?! I mean, that's the best console, far more powerful than the weak pathetic Playstation 2, and far less expensive than the overrated Xbox. As a person that knows what their talking about when it comes to PCs, I would assume that you knew the Gamecube is far more powerful than the PS2, I mean, the PS2 doesn't even support AA. I must tell you that your mssing the best resi games: Remake and Zero. I suppose you stuck with Code Veronica as your best game . Or maybe you just made the wrong choice accidentely when you went to buy a console. I live in the UK, so no multiplay resi until Capcom gets their priorities right.

It don't play AA for two reasons:1) I don't find it fun and you have to be connected to the internet to save your progress. I think that's just stupid.2) It is blatantly an attempt from the US military to overexagerate how 'good' it is to become a soldier for the (supposedly ) world's most powerful nation. I wouldn't want them to think it was working so I leave it well alone.

Optimizing your PC I will separate this guide into sections to make it easier to navigate. Ok, you want your PC to run faster but you don't want to upgrade it physicaly? No problem. You would be suprized how inefficent Windows is, and it is easy to make it run a lot faster if you know what your doing. Please note, this guide is intended specificaly for Windows XP, though some parts may be relevant to other windows installations. Part 1 - Cleaning No! I don't mean getting a duster and cleaning the dust you fans pull in (thought that isn't necisarily a bad idea), I mean wiping the rubbish from your hard drive. If you have been using your PC for a while then you probably won't have noticed the massive performance decrease from Viruses, Ad-Ware, Spy-Ware, Messy Registery, Manualy Deleted Instalations, etc but I can assure you your PC is. Follow through this guide to get rid of this rubbish. Not all viruses destroy files, some just sap your PC's performance and can go unoticed for a very long length of time. Choosing a decent virus checker is vital to keeping your PC healthy. Now, you might think that because you instaled some standard checker and disabled updates that your PC is safe. Well, you are far from the truth. Some virus scanners may be blind to certain types of viruses. That is why you must pick a reliable checker. Having ICSA Certification is a great way to know that your virus checker is doing its job. If your scanner is not listed on their site (ICSA Certified Virus Checkers the you should uninstal it now and download the trial of Panda Anti Virus Platinum, which is a ICSA certified product, and the virus checker I use. You can find Panda's site at http://www.pandasecurity.com/germany/homeusers/. Once you have got a certified checker, run a FULL system scan and remove any viruses that may have accumlilated. Spy ware and Ad ware is another major problem, and the main culprit for degrading performance on PCs. If you use a Peer to Peer program it is highly likely that you have unknowingly instaled some spy/ad ware (don't say I didn't warn you) and running through these steps is vital. Download these to spyware checkers Ad-Ware SE and Spybot: Search and Destroy, update them and do a full scan. Remove any problems you find. If you find the horrible, horrible Cool Web Search spy ware you will need to download this program CWShredder to remove it. Now that we have removed all imenent dangers it is time to remove the unharmful, but anti-performance problems, such as unwanted registery enteries. Download this wonderful tool CCleaner and run cleaner/fix selected issues for each of the tabs in turn. This is a very useful program, but you may just want to check what it is removing before you carry ou the 'Run Cleaner' command. Part 2 - Updating If you have never updated anything, (which is a very bad habit to get into) you will have no idea how obselete you PCs software will have become. While this does not directely improve performace you should still carry out these steps. Updating Windows is always a good place to start, as it will always have errors. Go to windows update and install all availible updates. However, DO NOT INSTALL SERVICE PACK 2!! Unless your PC has a specific problem that it will fix. SP2 is known for ruining a large proportion of the machines it is installed on and sometimes it may even require a reformat and a fresh windows install to be carried out to put it right. Instead, you should instal SP1 (now called SP1a by microsoft). SP1 makes changes to the way windows handles certain things, which can downgrade performace. Never fear, downlaod this small fix and run to remove that minor problem SP1 Fix. You should also update all drivers for you PC's hardware from the manufacturers site to ensure compatibility and latest bug fixes. Installing the latest verson of DirectX is another great way to improve performance graphically. Part 3 - Optimizing And we come to the last part of the guide that will explain to you how to carry out some vital procedures that will increase your PC's performance tenthfold. They should all be carried out to provide maximum performance boost. Uninstalling useless windows components is a good way to improve perfomance and clear clutter. You will no need these two 'features' windows decides to install ever. Go to "Start", "Settings", "Control Panel", "Add or Remove Programs", select "Add/Remove Windows Components", uncheck: Indexing Service and MSN Explorer. It is very important that you should run a diskdefagmentor becuase if you have never used one, you will have no idea how slow you PC will have become from fragmentation. If you do not have a comercial defragmentor such as the excellent Diskeeper (which can be found at Diskeeper you will have to run the standard windows version. Got to Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defragmentor and run it overnight (as it can take a very, vey long time depending on the size of your hard disk(s). And that brings us to the end of this guide, I hope you have enjoyed it and it has proved worthwhile.

Anarchy Online was put the original game for free on their site (http://www.anarchy-online.com/) until sometime next year (you still get to keep your free account after that time) with no client cost and no subscription fee. You will have to download either their 'lite' client (700-800mb) or their 'full' client (1.2-1.3gig) to play and you will have to register. Yuo will not be required to input any payment details at all. Because of it's size it is a definite no for no broadband users. I think that kind of destroys the point of Runescape. Even if you're not looking to become a regular member it might be worth a look if you have the time to download it. I haven't played it yet so I can't comment to the gameplay. You will, however, be restricted to a maximum level of 200, then you will have to pay for the expansion 'Shadowlands', and pay a subscription fee.

Garrys Mod is great. It really adds to the game and makes it fun once you finish Half Life 2. It really is worth the download. The newest version (7) uses an easy to use menu driven interface and gives you a lot more options than the older versions. Spending you time creating cannons/rockets from explosive barrels and firing them in the general direction of a bunch of zombies is a very fun way to spend spare time.

It is possible to play Half Life 2 without being conected to the internet, but you need to correctely configure your firewall while being online in steam otherwise you will get the message 'The Operation Could Not Be Completed At This Time'. This means, if you don't have a configurable firewall you will have to be connected. You will have to be connected no matter what the first time you install Half Life 2, becuase the instalation requires file validation, which took me about an hour on my 512kb Broadband.
