Hmm, fulminate of mercury, hmm.
Pour it all over stupid Intel machine.
No wait, I have do a DVD of Mandriva on the desk.
Impact craters avoided.
Got game fixed. I still don't get it. It just will not work on that Acer branded Intel chipped machine.
Now, I have a powerhouse XP games box, with an x86 64 bit 3.4 Ghz Athlon, 1 Gb of DDR2 RAM, an Nvidea 7600 GT with 512 Mb of VRAM, and 400 Gb of raided hard drives. EAGames, has its own 40 Gb Western Digital Caviar drive.
My Documents\EAGames\The Sims 2, now resides on a 120 GB SATA disk, of its own.
Three days of nothing but EA repairs, all fixed now, all EP's and SP's re-installed. Even got back my back-up downloads and Neighborhoods, all fully functional.
I'm going to send them on vacation next week, update patches depending of course.
But, my big beautiful server is no more. Make the Intel a Mandriva box.
That'll teach it. All it had to do was play a game.
Now, it will have to do math and real compute functions. So there.
