that program is pretty nifty! Lovely peice of freeware.
I just recovered all my .psd files that I lost a while back when I deleted my CMX viewer folder. Niiiiiiice! A lot of my photos that I lost by overwriting them are gone I think, that was a long time ago since I deleted them by mistake. I think I have defragged and the areas of disk were probably overwritten. Still fiddling around with it. Does anyone know of other software that does this sort of thing.
Is this program safe? I get a lot of errors while using it.
And when I rebooted my computer I got this error.

Sorry to keep digging this thread up. 
I got more questions for ya! I'll try and keep it easy to read.
OK! Are you comfy?!
First is my 5:4 FSB:RAM ratio.
Right I sort of understand a little bit more about this since ive been reading on it, although its all quite hazy still. Ive got a P4 so im ok because it can handle asynchronous ratios like that, but I read somewhere that this possibly could give me as good as 1:1 or even better performance as 5:4??? due to the way P4's have some sort of architecture to handle this? could this be true? maybe I didnt read enough and it was actually from some overclocking to a ratio of 5:4. rather than underclocking like mine is.
Second is my temperature stuff.
Cool so ive got a few ways now of monitoring my temperatures and getting a general idea of what my winbond chip is reporting. I tried this program called Thermal Analysis Tool or TAT from Intel. Weird error I got when trying to use it. I dont think it works with Pentium 4's I think you need a core duo for it. Anyway, when I double click that program I get an error and I can visibly see in CPU-Z my CPU clock speed from from 3400 to 2800, after a reboot its all ok again. Crazy stuff, careful with it. I wanted to use some of those features to log my temperatures over a long time and stress it a bit.
What do you think about thermoelectric cooling see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling for some info on it. Says you can use it with a stock HSF. uses a lot of power though. thought that was a cool thing.
I read somewhere that you need an equal amount of air being pushed into the case as is being pulled out is this true or does it not matter that much? Does that mean if the fan on my HDD at the front of my case is not as big as the fan at the back of my case that its not getting enough air? Should I think about modding my case a bit and maybe getting a similar fan?
Third is my voltages.
Now this one is really really confusing, trying to monitor the voltages from my winbond chip im not quite sure exactly what its reading from if its reading correctly or how to fix it or check it properly. Is that winbond reading from the voltages actually on the CPU itself, so if those are reading incorrectly it would mean a faulty CPU? That doesnt monitor the voltages on my motherboard or whats being fed into it does it, so how would I know if my PSU is doing all the right stuff in that area? You said I would notice things cutting out or not working. My DFP loses all power sometimes while im racing, this is a new problem.
Fourth is my USB ports maybe related to the power
My DFP used to be plugged into the USB ports on my mainboard but I have since moved it to the front panel USB ports. Now im guessing these ports are buggered up because the microphone / headphone ports dont work but the USB ones do. Do you think that little front case panel containing the ports is not getting the right amount of power? As its a little circuit board on the front of the case. This would make my DFP randomly lose power, in LFS and in windows would it?
Do I need to borrow my mates multimeter and learn to use it to really find out about that power stuff?

lol im best mates with my barber, hes got one of those nasty cut throat razors. i like to keep all my ears!
always tip him too!
sorry for OT.
every winner gotta deal with backmarkers its part of racing, its one thing being in the lead pack but can you deal with the backmarkers as good as the guys your fighting for position? if you can nail those backmarkers a bit quicker than the guy infront or behind you, youll gain on em. racing has a lot of this in it. most notable is in formula 1 where you often have to watch how P1 gets passed the backmarkers.
you gotta accept that a backmarker will add time onto your laps but how much is all up to you.

totally not meant to be a moan ... just an area i thought could be improved thats all. i mean loading a layout is going to cost resources and frame rate and then i thought about the repetitive graphics going down the pits...
the tyre marks thing was just an "alternative" cos i was trying to think of what could be done i mean its just a discussion no way mean to be a negative one at all
i didnt think of the auto x layout i dunno if others did but yes that is a very good point indeed. just the white arrows on a layout might not hog resources and will do the job just fine!!
sorry if it annoyed you!
yeah that picture looks sweet. if there stuff is already there in game then its hopefully easier than first thought! cool stuff!
but im not quite sure what this means?
what options are already availble to use?
whats the rant for?

ok so my paint sk33lz arnt quite up to scratch but y'know. you get my drift? (no pun intended 
)
)well it officially used my LFS license name. And I would not have known about the option had it not been in the general section because I dont go to the league sub forum.
Just my 2 pence.

heres the other idea.
i dont know how this is able to be implemented if at all. but if you could have it so the marks in the pits dynamically change with the direction of the racing so you would sort of know where to go without having big arrows or a pit crew there?
do pits even have marks like that in real life heh

man STCC rock! i didnt hear about it here either.
I refreshed my server list and it showed it there and im like "hmm new and bronze whats this about" i go there, and im hooked.
I didnt join a league. I didnt sign up to race anything or have any need to visit the league section for now.
But i got my cool userbar!

yeah but i like to think we can say that cars get disabled in heavy impacts because well even though it isnt meant to be like that it does happen in the extreme.
its a good selling point sort of in a weird optimistic way.http://www.memtest.org/
get this and run it on your memory and look for any errors this may help you.
Also have you tried downloading an alternative file and reinstalling LFS as maybe something got corrupt in the download. just a thought.

good article man.
can I just add a bit. body damage can affect your cars performance. in some cars, you can get damage that is warped enough to lift the car off of the road surface and so during braking your bodywork will rub on the road and make braking very dangerous. it will also make you spin your wheels and all sorts of trouble including a disabled car.

Heres a pic of joining an empty server.
You can sort of wiggle as you exit the pits to get the "wrong way" message up...
I just thought it would be nice to have some sort of foolproofing...
especially if say, a race is going on with pit required and someone joins and pulls out the wrong way.
I figure instead of having a big arrow splashed up on the screen to integrate some sort of graphical feature to the pits to hint which way the flow of traffic is going.
maybe if we could get those pit crews in there then there could be a guy there with a sign on it

When pulling out of garage a direction sign or something
Hello all. Ive always had this thing where I pull out of the garage and I end up going up the pits the wrong way, have to slam it in reverse then turn around and head the correct way...
does anyone else experience this or am I just being careless. I was wonder if there was some way to indicate the direction of traffic as you exit the garage?
Is this even a needed suggestion, I was figuring we could incorporate something in the pits that could indicate this. The best thing I sort of came up with would be having a slight tyre marks leaving the garages either left or right depending on the direction of the track.
Does that even make sense or is this even a thing to bother about?

heres my thread where I discovered some things wrong with my system. It appears by your everest that this is none of this really applies to you but its a good reference I suppose.
I would suggest running everest while you play live for speed then alt tab and check out what the temps are saying. Temps while idle are lower then when its under strain.
Check out the running processes by pressing ctrl - alt - del and then click the processes tab then google them to find out exactly what they are. This is an awesome peice of software for this, http://www.snapfiles.com/get/processexplorer.html great tool. alternatively run msconfig from start menu.
Another thing is checking for Viruses / Malware / Spyware.
Defrag your hard disk and do a disk cleanup too.

hahaha quality stuff. you should get a stunt team together. now all you need is some bikes that you can hang off and do some stoppies!!!
looks quite realistic you know. i guess the speeds might be a bit extreme but from when ive seen cars doing that 2 wheel thing, looks quite similar. maybe a bit too stable? possibly because its a computer game.

Rar what a thread.

personally i am a heavy user of inferno setups. I havent the time nor patience to actually set my own setups.
i dont get the WR's with them, and im pretty sure I could go faster if I did put in the time researching and making a setup like the others guys do. like tristan says you need to drive the setup just like the guy who made it so you need to find their WR replay too! then play copy cat! yes I guess that makes me a shit driver or someone who isnt the best but I just want to have close bumper to bumper racing there and then. im not trying to be competetive, I just want to be able to keep up with the pack.
However, in regards to the OP's suggestion of making inferno sets available in-game:
I think it works well as it stands, inferno is a 3rd party resource, but still if you integrated it into the game youll just have a different 3rd party resource show up because all the inferno sets would be standard.

Thank ye STCC for this, and thank ye for the awesome servers.
lub me XFR.
bonnet vent. rear wing not too big, front spoiler low on the road. sweet wheels and tyres. looks awesome while racing and is a bag of fun to drive. Yeah thats my choice always has been always will be.

oh yeah forgot about this,
it might need to wait until the future when we have a better damage model, then we can incorporate overheating say if it gets stuck in a vent or it could jam the suspension or something along those lines.
for now i just think its there as a deterent to cutting the grass i guess.

i get nervious the rare opportunities that i ever get out in first place.
sometimes i swear lfs has a option somewhere to make first places car more sketchy. ketchup mode or something.
