Hey, please take a chill pill. This isn't a 24/7 hotline, so you can't expect people to answer back immediately. Stop posting every couple of minutes, it's not going to make people notice you more.

Can you please check what graphics card you have on your computer? Type dxdiag into the Windows run command and look at the Display tab. The important bits have a red border:

Datruth: Updates can be found through Nvidia's Driver page (http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp). Select "Graphics Driver," "GeForce and TNT," and then your operating system.

Yelper: A similar process for you at ati.com (http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html) - select your operating system, then "Radeon," then "Radeon 9200 series" and hit the Go button. You'll be taken to a page where you'll find the most recent drivers for installation.

Hey karyuu, what if you already have the current drivers installed?

Will reinstalling them hurt me?

Your computer will explode!!!!

No, it shouldn't create problems. However, if you are afraid of some issue, I recommend you to check with the support of your graphic card vendor.

hey, i have the same problem. can someone help me?

device: Intel Corporation 810 Graphics Contrller Hub
memory:(for some reason its blank)
Title: Re: help me plz im starting to get annoyed
Post by: Karyuu on December 15, 2006, 03:38:32 am
That's because you don't have an actual graphics card, but a chipset that is integrated onto your motherboard. As this falls below the minimum requirements, I don't think there is anything you can do.

I have an Intel 910 onboard graphics thing, and running planeshift is definately possible. It runs quite smooth most of the time, except loading maps takes a while, and when entering new areas framerate may drop to one frame in 5 seconds for a while. But for the rest, there are no problems. So just because someone has a graphics chip does not necessarily mean there is no way to help :).
(I do not know the 810, so it IS possible it just is not good enough)

I stand corrected, then (http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/7151/pleasedhc3.gif) You can try updating the drivers (http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=178&lang=eng), but that's about the only thing I can recommend.

Do Americans say trillion?

Indeed they do

Does it mean the same?
Title: Re: help me plz im starting to get annoyed
Post by: bilbous on December 17, 2006, 04:25:13 pm
American:
106 ->million
109->billion
1012->trillion

British is different I think.

1,000,000,000,000 (one million million; 1012) - older British meaning, now uncommon in English-speaking countries, but used in many other languages (except Asian-derived languages, which have their own numbering terminology).*


* wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales)
Title: Re: help me plz im starting to get annoyed
Post by: miadon on December 17, 2006, 04:32:33 pm
yes the classic british billion is different from the american.

british million = 1,000,000
american million = 1,000,000
british billion 1,000,000,000,000 (as in two millions: bi = two, so two sets of "000,000")
american billion 1,000,000,000
british trillion 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (as in three millions: tri = three, so three sets of "000,000")
american trillion 1,000,000,000,000

etc

quadrillion, quintillion, sexillion, septillion, octillion and to infinity

altough the british way is pretty much not used anymore and the scientific community use the american way.

Apparently the long scale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales) is still common in most of europe. I am repeating the link in my previous post, if you looked at it already no point in doing so again.

Edit for spelling

It's funny to see how easy people can be distracted by the sentence "Was that a British or american Billion?"
Reminds me of "European or African swallow?".

So, ontopic again ;)
