THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED!! Sorry for yelling... Let me explain my situation and why I #$@%! hate my computer. Ok I get into the d-mod creation prossese about 8mounths almost ready to finally release my d-mod and the computer $@%!s up and I lose everything on my computer including my d-mod that I've slaved over dayly. This has happened 3 times now. The sad thing it was my lap top this time... so now i have to use the family computer. Guess what its Windows Vista!! Now I need to figure out a way to get vista to work or buy a new lap top...



PS:I put in the sensors my self I don't condon swereing so don't give me (South Harmin Instatut of Technology)...

It happened to me, after attempting to make my first ever DMOD, LOD (Land of Destruction). Unfortunately my comp is still stuffed and won't turn on. But luckily i got a brand new computer the next day. (BTW it was christmas. Great timing you think? wrong. bad timing because i couldn't send files to other computer)

LOD was later abandoned, and DESA was started

I probably will abandon my d-mod i had on my old computer and make a compleatly diffrent one.
QFMM (Quest for More Money) Was a compleatly stupid d-mod and i probably lernd enough from it to acutly make a good d-mod.

PS: if you dont know where i got the name rent or borow heck even buy the movie space balls lol funny as hell paridy of star wars.

How do you manage to lose all data that quickly, anyway? My stuff's been on here since two years, and I messed around plenty with the partitions...

Besides that, I have a backup anyway.

You're not using nested view are you? I don't see why any other view is allowed, misunderstandings like these are becoming all the more frequent.

Maybe they could just include something like "replying to Phoenix"?

You just ran into the same brick wall I did. I think I'm going to wait for Phoenix to come out with the new EZDink-C.

You might try running the editors in win98 compatibility mode, and see if they work. I have an older Compaq that is slower than molasses, that I think I'll haul out and strip everything off the HD except Windows2000 pro OS, and see if all the editors will run on it, if so I'll put PSP7 on it and sluggishly plod through working on my Dmod till EDC is up and running.

Wow Tal! I didn't mean to screw up your day, so disclaimers it shall be.

I suppose not, not that people think others are saying things to them that aren't actually meant like that, just the fact it's happening such a lot recently I found pretty funny

Oh, misreading things is quite funny, especially when you get odd answers. I was just making an obscure reference to the amount of timezones in the Soviet Union

The view you use has a lot to say, because Tal wasn't addressing you, but you replied to Tal as though he did. Perhaps I should point out that now I'm addressing DRATH, since you people apparently don't realize that by your view.

Depends on the country. Here in the US, it's perfectly okay to say the President is a moron. Threatening him, however... won't necessarily get you killed, but it will get you a less-than-pleasant visit from the Secret Service.
