Ok guys, go buy a car from Toyota (huge company, lots of customers, makes millions of dollars) and when you buy that car, every month you have nothing but problems.

blizzard reimbursed 3 days for the crap that happened a few weeks ago.

regarding your 'toyota' reasoning:

sure, i'll go buy a toyota, then every week i'll have to stop and go put gas in it (downtime & $) and every once in a while it needs to go to the repair shop for a day or two.

sure sucks when your own reasoning comes back to bite you in the ass huh.

just because you can post, doesnt mean you should

[QUOTE="Peter_Darkstar"]

I asked a similar question yesterday, but was unable to get a definitive answer. Hopefully I can make my scenario a bit clearer.

I plan to essentially build a new computer, although the only components I'll be changing are the motherboard, RAM, case, and CPU. I plan to salvage my hard drive, GPU, and other drives/peripherals into my new machine.

Now my question is whether or not I will need to purchase a new copy of my operating system. One suggestion from the previous post was to simply put the hard drive into the new machine without reformatting it and simply delete and replace drivers. Would this work, at all? or what would happen if I were to do a clean install?

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do?

You can try deleting the files for your old mobo,but many have problems. If you have your O.S. CD just lie to MS and say that your Hard drive crashed and can you get a new number.

qft.

as long as the current OS doesnt have an OEM key, you should be able to reinstall at any time. I've reinstalled windows a few times with different versions of xp and i've never had any problems.

on the computer:

control panel

network connections

local area connection 1 (left click)

local area connection 2 (hold shift and right click)

left click bridge connections.

for a modem -> pc -> xbox connection the bridge is a must.  then you'll be able to go on halo 2 and tell people youre bridging!!!

I did the smart thing and rented it.

1:  The music was horrible and whenever I went into the overworld I had to mute my TV

2:  The load times were unnecessarily long for a GC game IMO

3:   The fact that I had no clue what I was doing at first didnt help.

I was hoping for a nice rpg game, didnt find it in FF:CC.  I returned it later that night, it didnt seem worthy to collect dust at my house for the full 5 days of the rental.
