  1. Are you using Internet Explorer and therefore possibly viewing the offline files under a different 'security zone' setting than online files (hence prompts for executing scripts in local files)?
  2. If you can get MalwareBytes on a USB stick and rename the exe to something innocent you may be able to install it without it being attacked. Some trojans looks for AV/Malware Removers by their EXE name (mbam.exe, etc) so renaming the EXE file before running it can get around it.
  3. Confirmed by DICE, there will be no ingame squad management on PC. You have to manage squads in Battlelog (web browser) before joining a server!!! https://twitter.com/#!/zh1nt0/status/120072134226751488 An absolutely retarded decision.
  4. It wont run on XP Rob as the game doesnt support DX9 (XP's limitation), you need an Operating System that supports DX10 or DX11 (Vista or Win 7 - I'd recommend the latter!). I've played the beta on the PC, the Origin Client (formerly EA download manager) is pointless as you dont play via that, that acts basically as a shortcut to launch your web browser (which requires a special plugin) that loads their touted BATTLELOG, which is basically an external Server Browser and Statistics Portal rolled into one. This means that the web browser is running in the backgroung consuming resources whilst you play the game. I dont see the point of BattleLog to be honest, they could easily have those features in game like they do now in Bad Company 2. Other things Im not a fan of are: :: It plays more like Call of Duty than other BF games (atleast, thats the impression Metro gives you) :: You can join squads, but your cant choose which squad to join (makes it hard teaming up with mates) :: You cant leave the server or edit the options to customise your settings UNTIL you DEPLOY in game. I've played both Metro and Capsian Edge before they pulled the servers down, Metro made me want to cancel my pre-order, but I really enjoyed Capsian Edge....the jungle areas are amazing. Graphics wise they are good but not setting a new level like Crysis did when that was first released. I believe the reason people where falling through the map when proning/dying was due partly to the destruction of landscape, they have turned this off on the PC and say it will be fixed in retail version.
  5. They make Westwood sound like an English gent!
  6. I dont think it will be released on STEAM, EA seem to have fallen out with them ...hence they launched their own digital distribution client Origin (well, its not new, its the EA download manager with a face lift). Wont be suprised if other Publishers do this as they will make more money cutting out the middle man (steam). Digital Distribution is the future as broadband becomes faster and more available. It will kill of the 2nd hand games market that costs Publishers millions, it will reduce their distrubution costs (wont have to ship DVDs all over the world) and they reckon it will reduce piracy....time will tell.
  7. Have you checked if your hosting package included daily backups of your website? If so, you may be able to get your hosting provider to restore the last 'working' version of your website before the sabotage.
  8. Have you used the dLan configuration wizard to authorise each lan adapter?
  9. As its most likely a one off, the owner of the car probably owns the mould as opposed to the company that produced the composite...otherwise Im sure others on here would have had them by now. The mould is more time consuming than producing the composite itself. First there is the time spent to create the shape, then the time made to create, trim, polish and prep the mould for production, then you have to create the composite itself and then trim that. I'd imagine with those curves on top that if that is a real CF panel it was done under vacuum as carbon is stiff in the direction of the weave and doesnt 'sit' well on bends without being vac bagged or having a layer of GF over the top...which defeats the purpose of having a true CF panel. I wouldnt be suprised if the customer paid £1000+ for that taking into account time and materials.
  10. If its a clear CF splitter and you've got cracks within the resin you'll never get it looking as good as it was, its nigh on impossible to force resin all the way into the cracks (even under vacuum) on a cured composite. They can be repaired, but it wont be mint as the crack lines will be viewable - hence most people opt to paint them when it happens.
  11. The best one seems to be the PLX Kiwi Bluetooth connector but it is only suitable for 1996+ cars. It's not cheap (£80-100) compared to the other ones on ebay that are around £30, but it does appear to be more reliable - so a case of 'you get what you pay for' would appear to apply: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PLX-KiWi-Bluetooth-OBDII-Android-mobile-devices-/110658960938?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item19c3c9be2a Note: Only the VVTI Supra's have OBDII, earlier models are OBDI (info: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?233488-Supra-and-OBD-II&highlight=obdII)
  12. If you have an Android Smarthphone there is an app called "Torque" that you can use to read OBDII via a OBDII Bluetooth connector ...thought I'd mention it.

  13. I must admit, I was tempted to be a driving instructor as I've never seen an ugly bird learning to drive around my neck of the woods, however upon passing they must get taken into a room and smashed in the face several times with a spade.
  14. A perfect example that money doesnt buy you taste!
  15. Hope she isnt one of his underworld connections or your in trouble...
  16. I would say that damage is repairable with it being made of glass fibre, if it was a good fit before the accident it would make sense to repair it rather than buy a new one hoping the fit is perfect.
  17. The reason BF3 doesnt support DX9 (and therefore XP) is because the Devs didnt want to be held back in their pursuit for amazing lighting effects and other features only available in DX10/11. A very brave move on behalf of DICE as lots of people still use XP, however you cant make the game of tomorrow supporting the technology of yesterday....just like web designers these days dont build website to cater to IE6. Depends what you like in your FPS I guess. IMO, BF3 will beat MW3 hands down in what it offers, but thats because I like FPS games that promote teamwork (squads) and tactics as opposed to the rambo-on-crack experience that MW seems to offer these days (for me, COD4 was the last decent game in the franchise). I like Frostbites destruction in BC2 as its another element to master in gameplay, the destruction capabilities in BF3 are far superior from what I've seen/read on various sites. MW3 has a destructible environment, but it is all scripted whereas BF3's destruction isnt. MW3 will come with "MW Elite" that gives you more online features, BF3 will come with something similar (cant remember the name of it - though it is free on the PC).
  18. FYI, Battlefield 3 (PC) does not support DX9 (and therefore Windows XP), you must have a GPU/OS that supports DX10/11. It will come with both a 32bit and 64bit EXE (64bit is recommended by DICE). The FrostBite 2.0 engine on the PC is different to the FrostBite 2.0 engine on the Consoles (PC is more advanced).
  19. Very nice, looks a bit awkward reversing through that tiny window and low roof.
  20. Damn, I got quoted £80 each + vat to get mine refurbed, I only need 2 of them doing (lacquer has failed and water has got under) but you have to get all 4 done to ensure they match up.
  21. I swear it was entirely innocent
  22. BodiWorx FukkinA ^ Deliberately spelt wrong
