It is absolutely not the blue screen of death, i am a competdent linux user as well so i am well seasoned with it. Here is a readout of my full system specs and some of its configeration, a good program to recomend to people to do this is Belarc Advisor just in case you didn't know about it. That way you don't have to hunt all over your manufacturer's website which also lacks detail.

 I use the omega ati drivers rather than my manufacturer's out of date display drivers which have trouble achieving beyond 15 fps in a 3d environment. The omega drivers are stable and used by many around the world. Hopefully this helps. I know it is a lot of clutter and thanks for  your time.

Response recieved and it worked! Thanks.

Alright, i read through the thread and i am supposed to email you. I hunted for a contact page or any sign of an email but i can not find one besides the noreply[at]hydlaa[.]com one i got my activation email from for the forums. I also checked your profile but it sais your email is hidden. By any chance could you pm it to me or maybe i could pm you the info on the board.

Thanks!

Edit: I found it. It is on all your posts. Pardon my stupidity. Email sent.

Hi there,

I am new to the game and tried registering an account. I have been waiting almost an hour for a validation email but still haven't gotten one. I tried resending it 10 times but to no avail. By any chance could an admin help me get registered?

Thanks,
