there has been a few posts recently with various problems so i thought i would post my thoughts on keeping your pc in tiptop condition and also helping solve those irritating problems
Graphic problems Do these in order
Update your chipset drivers
Intel link
Via link
Keep your DirectX upto date (even u lot with Vista should do this). Download and install the FULL DX (dont update). grab this here link
install GFX drivers
best site imho link

general maintenace
Use something like CC cleaner to remove all the crap, uninstall old apps, fix your registry(always backup, it will prompt u) This is free link
regularly defrag your hard drives. preferably using something like O&O defrag. MS one ok, but not the best.

Also, make sure your PC is getting enough cool air. clean the fan intakes or filters or install extra fans.

and finally, there is a nice little app that allows someone to take control off your PC to help with these sort of probs. certainly something i have used in the past (and while I do not want to spend hours dialled into a pc) if someone is stuck then i am happy to have a look. app from here link

spend some time maintaining your PC and the likliehood of it screwing up are less. backup your registry and set the occasional MS restore point. i dont leave this on all the time. but will run it once in a while, especially after any major install or tweaking.

jim, can you make this sticky in this forum

1 - Defragging is moving files around your hard drive to make it more accesibble to your system and easier to find therefore faster. The reason to clean it is much the same as defragging - to help windows find the right key faster.

2 - The windows registry is where certain bits of information that are specific to that system are stored. It can be anything to programs setting to product keys.

Welcome!
Imagine This:
Going to a massive game server, where everyone knows everyone else, its all taken in a good manner and there to be enjoyed. The way Gaming should be. Thats what we do every day!

Like None Other
Team MX is like no other 'clan' ever conceived, we are a team, Team MX. We're probably the largest UK clan ever, we have over 170 team members with well over 130 of them actively playing. Team MX is over a year old now, celabrating its first birthday in November last year. Headed up by the worlds biggest n00b, MoggieX and backed up by some outstanding n00blets, known as the core admins.

We don't recruit twats!
Quite frankly we ain't interested in matches, or 'twats' (mainly gobby teanagers, you know the ones), if this is something you're looking for, or are, you're not in the right place at all. However, IF you are a utter n00b (like I am, MoggieX) and enjoy the 'whole' online gaming expereince, where you can make friends from all over the world, then you have found yourself a new home.

A Little More About Team MX
Also quite interestingly, every Team MX member gets a limited amount of admin privilages, its been the norm for people to pay for such rights, here you get them free and you can also feel at ease that there is only small group of admins, the core admins that have the access to any player abuse commands. So you can play in realtive safety, knowing that the server you're on is patrolled by an army of admins. We have members from the ages of 9 to well past retirement, probably with an average age twice that of other clans, a prime example that this is no ordinary clan.

Joining Team MX
We don't let just any old person join, you have to prove yourself over a long period of time. If you're turning up here thinking you're going to join us in a few days, you're sorely mistaken. In most cases it takes over a month to be recruited and thats just the lucky ones! People (not players) rarely leave Team MX, if they do, we never really seem to get rid of them, lol.
