don't forget http://clantemplates.com/ ;)they have many gaming related templates, but their mainly for gaming clans. Most of them are easy to edit though so you can use them for a normal (non-clan) website.

found an link to solve the problem yourself (rember: don't try it if you don't have some experience... an Xbox is expensive ) http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ found it in one of the replies that have been posted at hardware.info (see wutske's post 1064365693[/snapback])

Xbox scratches your games Scratches (read destroys⌠since the games won't play anymore) on your expensive game are a good reason to back to the shop with your Xbox, but it is sent then you from one to another (from the shop to Microsoft, the maker of the Xbox, and back again). According to Microsoft the problem isn't the Xbox, but the user of the Xbox. He 'probably' placed the Xbox on an instable position and moving the Xbox during the gaming. Some complainers even got to hear that they couldn't do anything since it is Microsoft's 'policy' that the Xbox can not scratch the disks. In a couple of cases the Xbox was switched for another one, but then you'll get another repaired Xbox. If that really solves the problem? That's the question. When you start to talk about compensating of the scratched games (which cost about 60 euros each) Microsoft even starts to act harder. Almost no complainers got compensation for their scratched games. Xbox problem goes worldwide Not only in the Netherlands are the problems with the Xbox the discussion of the day. A little search on the internet shows that gamers around the world experience scratched disks. Microsoft also refuses to listen them. The Dutch consumer TV show 'Kassa' put an Xbox to the test by the independent experts of hardware.info. They have opened the Xbox and looked at it with a microscope. The results show that there are clear wear tracks on the lens of the drive (a TSST, Toshiba Samsung) from the Xbox. According to hardware.info it has been proven that the lens makes the scratches on the disk. The problem is in the missing small rubber containers around the laser-lens. To compare the drives another DVD-drive of the same manufacturer was also examined. But this time a drive that is normally used for computers. That drive DOES have the small rubber containers around the lens! Because of those containers contact between the lens and the disk is impossible. According to hardware.info it has been proven that the Xbox has a mistake in it. What even is called, by the Dutch consumer rights, a product error. More vibrations at vertical position Since this was a nice possibility to test the Xbox a bit more, a couple of other tests where preformed. According to Microsoft the Xbox may be positioned horizontal and vertical. But hardware.info showed in the broadcast of Kassa that the Xbox 360 vibrates more when you place it vertical and is more stable when placed horizontal. After these tests Kassa contacted the Dutch part of Microsoft again. The company does not want to explain it in the broadcast of Kassa and is not even considering an appropriate solution for the problem. All that Microsoft says that "if the Xbox 360 console is positioned stable and not moved or tilted while gaming there are no risks for scratches". With other words: it's all the because of user actions. According to a Dutch lawyer Richard de Lange that you can expect from a product that costs 400 euros there won't be complications like these. At normal use the machine should not make any scratches on the disks. According to him it is not normal that the Xbox can not stand vibrations. --------------------------------------- For those who would like to watch the broadcast of the show I was talking about Click here to watch it (the Xbox part starts at somewhere near the 17th minute of it ) cgi.omroep.nl/cgi-bin/streams?/id/VARA/serie/VARA_101142168/VARA_101141463/bb.20070224.asf

The main difference between cracks and mods is that cracks are illigal in (almost) every country and mods are not. Let me explain it a bit more. Cracks A crack (or software crack) is a modification to an program that removes protection methodes like: - copy prevention - trial/demo version - serial numbers - hardware key - CD key These kind of modifications are (as said before) illigal in (almost) every country in the world, but appart from that cracks are the worst nightmare of every software company because it is getting easier to get an illigal version of a program. But there have been some a bit more positive effects on the industry, as well as general consumers. For example, because of the piracy the popularity of file formats like Xvid and mp3 have increased very, very much. More information about cracks Mods (or modifications) These are usually made by the general public and can be entire new games! They can include things like new items, weapons, characters, enemies, models, modes, textures, levels, story lines and even new game modes. There are basicly two types of mods: - Singleplayer mods - multiplayer mods Mods that add new content to the original game are often called partial conversions, while mods that create an entirely new game are called total conversions. Some gaming developers (like ID Software, Valve Software, Bethesda Softworks (the TES-Construction Set), and Epic Games) even provide extensive tools and documentation to help mod makers creating new mods for the game. more information about mods/modifications ------------------- Hope this answers your question backflipkid

maybe one of the anti-spyware programs listed here might detect it and delete it. If nothing works, remember on thing: Google is your best friend with this kind of problems

Do you mean something like this? I did like this: - Select the layer that contains the image (in this case the image is a rose) - Then go to filter > Pixelate > Crystallize - Change the cell size (in the pop-up you get) to 4 - Press ok Note: you can change the cell size to what ever you want/like

can't you just 'connect' to your brother's pc by going to start > My networklocations?My networklocations could have a bit different name though because i've got a dutch version of windows

nice joke Niru A little note for the people at the technical support of Microsoft:1) It's always the users fault2) If there is an unexplainable error... look at number 13) If there is an (fatal) bug in the system... the user probable did something wrong (remember point 1?)4) If we DO make a patch... we make it in a way that an other problem will arise (so it will look like the user made a mistake)

I've seen some screenshots of WoW, but i still wonder what WoW makes so special that it is the best MMORPG ever(atleast according to WoW players)?Every one is running around trying to do some sort of quests, but you can do that too in free MMORPG's. So what could be the big special thing that WoW has but other MMORPG don't have?

Don't ask me why, but I have played a (tv) game called duckhunt REALLY much

I use the free version of AVG at the moment. I'm quite happy with it (dutch guy + free & good AV = happy dutch guy ).
