I usually just double click the BF1942 desktop icon and voila. The upgrades were automatic before puter shut down. I did right click and try to run as administrator. Same end. Nothing happens. Tried system restore and it keeps saying "system restore failed. Try again or use a different restore point:. Did BOTH to no avail. Didnt install anything between running game last evening before shutting down for the night. It is set to run compatibility windows XP service pack 3 too!
  More thanks for the trying help than I can type!

FYI I pay $178.00 per week for Dental and Health insurance, for 3 boys and myself. With a $10,000.00 deductible for Medical. Employer gives us $3,000.00 on a FSA account which brings deductible to 7 grand. Gotta love Obamacare for those with full time jobs and I live in the Insurance capital of the world, Connecticut. My out of pocket doubled in two years and deductible from 6k to 10k in those 2 years.
Costco eh???? Looking GOOOOOD!!!!

Last evening when I shut my computer off, it waited for 16 automatic updates to install before shutting down. This morning when I get up I try to play and Battlefield does not even open. Windows 8. Battlefield CDs install, all 8 discs inclusive. Has anyone experienced this and have a clue as to the correction? Got those shaking hands from the DTs.............
THANKS in advance.

Anyone can ask Admin for 'MAPVOTEOFF' and it should eliminate the issue for that map only. I get lazy myself and the memory for hitting #8 is practically automatic. Suddenly I feel like a cause and affect crash dummy.............

Being that I worked for the Thompson Drilling Company in 1977, in Utah on a 90 foot rig, I know the term.
"We trip all night long. There is plenty of dope to go around. We have a pusher on every crew".
That was the saying on our rig.
Trip: Removing or re-installing all the piping to get to the drill bit to replace or after replacing and getting back to drilling depth.
Dope: Pipe dope to seal the screwed joints.
Pusher: Equivalent to crew chief. He ran the hydraulics.
Incidentally we were paid $18.85 per hour and $100.00 every time you get soaked. That was A BUNCH of money back then.......
Plus overtime.

Being the Supermoon issue, I am sticking with PipeR but reversing the pants wearing pattern.
Its the ONE day Monkey does NOT wear pants.
Best viewed from behind.
PS: My auto tracking died when the batteries corroded inside the power compartment and ate the ferrous pieces to dust fragments........
Its ALL manual now unless at 100X magnification or better and then nobody can hand track at that level.
EXCEPT for someone with 4 thumbs to scroll the thumbwheels........

#768 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Ban Appeal » 2015-08-16 18:18:54

Hi tuia, I accidentally banned Dink W on Stalingrad CTF.

I used !ban .12   to ban him when I meant to ban another player avoiding a 15 minute ban.

The person that was supposed to ljs (keyhash) 8cc515203cde1038789679b83392

I don't know how to thank you for the help tuia and if you could see to un banning him I (and HE) would be very VERY thankful.
THANKS!!!!!

#769 Re: Report Abuse » Another TK fest » 2015-08-16 08:03:05

Dink, this is like the second time I did not ban an asshole when you were being targeted. I did not realize how BADLY you were getting tked. I know we should get proof before a ban etc. but this guy deserved a Graves Grain Alcohol enema.
  Next time this is going on insist I try to help you OK. I am going to keep this bottle, tubing and straight jacket handy. After the enema we can interrogate the perp and find out what makes you so attractive to him! Maybe its your cologne??????
My apologies for you having to call a game quits.

This is so very similar to the old Olias of Sunhillow LP back in the late Seventies if my memory is right. And I believe Roger Dean (sp?) did the artwork as he did for most of the Yes albums. And Uriah Heep too.
Gotta tell you TOOKIE, I did not know of this LP and you just kicked my 1970s memory right back into the fly agaric and amanita muscaria memories!
THAT says a mouthful. Pun intended!
Thanks and this was a pure surprise for me. I thought I had all that stuff from that era and this one I never knew about!
Dayum!!!!

There are some KEY pieces of information missing here for the education of humans Monky. If it can be phrased that way.
Seems they did not mention us Pleaiadians also have Halos. I keep my halo tucked under my camouflage hat. We only show them to select individuals, carefully chosen for enlightenment.
We also contain Libidis Humongous. Commonly known as a large sex drive. What a great life.
We have 6 toes on each foot. Improved balance and weight distribution when walking. Stealth movement improved.
A "Third Eye" resides under our hair. Hence the long hair in our culture. It gives insight into the soul of others.
We LOVE Blondes. Human or Pleaidian. Sure does explain a lot.
Volunteers infiltrate the CIA, FBI, KGB, Mossad and other other non-conventional intelligence gathering organizations.
We love sugar and chocolate. Dammit.
Where the HECK do you FIND this stuff??????
LMAO
