I was wondering if there is a way I can connect the HDD via USB to the router and use it on the network as a ...

Ok. So I have the move method working in Grid, it moves the pacman. But how do I bring it all together so I can move the pacman with the keyboard keys?

I just don't know which class to put the methods in.

So I have had this bug ever since I installed the game. These line shadows show up on surfaces where ever I go. They also move around when I move around.

I took some screenshots. (I have updated my graphics drivers)

It's a little better, but the blacks still aren't black, and text (for instance) will burn into the blacks and make a residue of them if they fade out. It's also still has a VHS tape look to it.

Re: Overclocking Q6600 Help

So removed my battery and now when I change my values and hit F10, it actually resets the computer :D .

But now it doesn't apply the settings, it just loads the stock clocks. Even if I restart and go into BIOS, the values are still set to my overclock!
