I was thinking of starting a guild for "hero online" with users from this forum. I don't expect to get many takers though, considering that there is already a couple guilds going on for other games.

Well, HL2 Deathmatch or not sign me up.

I'm good for HL2 DM, DOD: S, CS: S, and any other free mod.

That's amazing, I really love how it makes your desktop look simple and uncluttered yet functional.

Is there a way that I can do something like that on my desktop without having to purchase any software?

All I need is to have different regions of the desktop that I can click on to start ...

ya, the graphics were on low, not in game though. I turned all the settings in my graphics card to focus on performance instead of quality for another game. Not sure but I from what I've seen it doesn't really make that much of a difference in FPS.

Some games have ways to modify the HUD's and ...

Also, I've noticed that when using the tactical overhead map (while running in widescreen) the circles representing the player locations sometimes get WAY off course. Here is a screenshot:

Well if it's 12CST on monday, then I'm out. I have school.

That works for me, just name the day.
I get about 180Kb/s, and it says it takes about 11-12min. I'm located in Texas, Mountain Time zone, so that means for me it should be 11am.

When I make the custom resolution of '800x500' I restart my computer, then the resolution is available, when I switch to it, it goes to panning mode. To figure out why it does this, I right clicked the tray icon

display profiles -> configure -> advanced timing options

Well, thank everyone for all of your help. With the custom rez I added I can my game now has that resolution available, However, there is still one more problem.

Just want to say that is awesome.

I would like to use that instead of my old recycling bin, but how can I get rid of the old one?

Would be nice if there was a section that had downloadable widescreen wallpapers and screensavers.


[EDIT] I just saw the banner at the top of this page:

OK, I've figured out how to make the .ini file, but now I'm haning trouble installing it.

well I have powerstrip and I can't figure out how to do it. Would you mind going through it step by step please?

I have a game that gives the option to select only those resolutions allowed by your desktop. I would like to play it in widescreen, but the lowest 16:10 resolution available is '1280x800'.

I only bring this up because I read somewhere about a game that did the same thing, and they posted a way ...

Ok, nm. someone mentioned that Firefox will make it work so I downloaded Firefox, and now everything fits in my screen just fine.

I've noticed that when I click on some posts the screen is wider, and others it fits perfectly. For example, this when I come to this post it fits my screen and I don't have to scroll left or right at all, but there is a post on this section of the forum titled "image gallery ?" when I go to that ...
