Well thank you for that and yes I did read it but some indicated there was no reason for this not to work on 64 bit, but I guess it's a crime to ask a question on here....
LFS forums, making Iraq look like a friendly place :rolleyes:
Did anyone manage to get this working in 64bit Vista? I've just done a fresh install of LFS and followed the instructions but program dies the second I launch it.
When I went to download Net Framework 2.0 it said it was already installed.
If you mean the silver knob in front of the shifter, that's to switch between sequential and H pattern. If you mean the black knobs on each side of the shifter, they are just to tighten the mounting clamps.
Yeah once you have paid for the game and registered with the site, go to the downloads page and get the game. Once you've done that, simply launch it click the unlock Live For Speed button. Enter the same username and password you registered with the site and it will unlock the full content.
As for the G25, yeah as written above, the clutch can be fed in like a real car but is tricky to get the hang of straight away. Does come in very handy on the 4 wheel drive cars like the RB4 and FXR. The wheel in general is great and well worth the purchase if you have the cash
There is no easy "do this and your get that" answer to overclocking as every system will react differently. There are hundreds of overclocking forums on the net so Google is your best friend on this one.
A couple of points to remember is that your bios will usually connect elements of your system together so upping the FSB on your CPU will also up the FSB on your RAM. You will need to take things slow and do alot of testing with prime95 or similar to ensure stability. Cooling is a major factor with overclocking - you usually need to up the voltage to your CPU to hold stability which makes it run hotter - get a good cooler before you start!
What spec system are you running? Core 2 duo systems overclock an absolute treat - my 6300 is clocked at 1.8gig stock and currently been running happily at 3.1gig for the past few months (after also passing 24hours testing on prime95). Sometimes you will find yourself limited as to what components you have - some motherboards are much more overclocking friendly than others, same for the RAM and CPU. Download Everest Home Edition to get a full list of system specs if you don't know and use sites like tomshardware to get reviews as they normally do overclock tests.
I'm no expert at this but gimme a shout if you get stuck
Sometimes it depends on which version of Vista you have and how the game is installed. Ultimate edition for example has more annoying security details than I've ever seen. When I had LFS on my second drive (taken from my old PC), I couldn't unlock LFS - worked fine when I copied the folder to my C Drive? Go figure
Try going to the User Accounts in control panel and turn off the access control then try to unlock again. Sound wise, as already posted, what card do you have?
And that sums it up for me too - along with Becky's comments
I do admire those who can hit the ridiculous lap times but for me, it's the drivers who I battle with lap after lap cleanly and fairly who earn my respect. Those who wait if they accidentally take you out, those who want nothing more than to have a good race - regardless where thay may finish.
