I didnt notice this before but now my computer is hardlocking to where I have to hit the reset button every time I approach a 3ds file...

One I have tested so far:
Phobos and Space Station V...Both didnt do this before I installed Win 2000...I'll check under Win 98 to see if this is happening there as well...

Ok thats not happening with 98...

Also my roommate who also was running win 2000 said that after running Celestia it caused bad sectors on his harddrive...Not 100% clear on it but it was a coincedence since he just got done running it and all the sudden nothing worked to where he had to uninstall it and run scandisk...

I suspect Win 2000 and Celestia dont mix...

f this crap Im going back to 98 and thats where Im staying dammit :roll:

I reinstalled XP and it still locks up on the 3ds files...hmm I am really beginning to think ther is something wrong with my video card...I swear that for 1 never saw those blocks on the night textures...AND on eclipse shadows before and I KNOW 3ds files worked in XP...

I get the stupid black squares on night texes and on eclipse shadows under 98 to, and since Im the only one seeing them...I guess its my video card...

You know what...better yet...Im gonna take a break from this damn computer before it kills me...Its been nice out...I think Im gonna go outside and watch the grass grow...brainless amusement :mrgreen:
