have you tried explorer into the documents & settings folder with hide folders unticked? if there is no sign of the old user names then they did a format install, but if the old user names are there then the documents should be under the old my documents, and they did a delete install harpo

Reply to Does Sins support SLI/Crossfire, or Dual/Quad Core Proccesors? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I would suggest a higher power psu as 520 watt would be running at 95-100% of total power available ie each video card 140w,cpu 50-100w,mb 50-100w,hdd 10-30w each dvd 10-30w each, and I believe that the psu's degrade about 30% in the first year due to the heat being dissapated in the psu ie between 10-50% of the power rating EXTRA power to supply the output due to the power factors in psu's at high percentage of max power output

the settings will carry over between the versions, BUT the MODS are NOT compatible so should be loaded each time you start sins in the options/mods & DO NOT click on the tickbox to load the mod on startup of sins (ie make sure that the loadmod on startup is EMPTY. harpo

I have done a similar trick on one of my computers. first install sins and update it to the version you want. then copy the sins of solar empires directory to a new name eg sins 1.13 create a shortcut from the sins of a solar empire exe in the new folder to the desktop and rename it so you know which one is when you want to run it finally download & install te entrenchment beta. <p

the startrek mod is still alpha without specialized research. normally the inter star jumping is research the distant visualiation/long jumps at 3-4 civ research labs then click on the star you want to go to and the ships then jump to them. this applies to sins all versions, and as far as I know to all sins mods. harpo

to test the card for overheating try the 3dmark benchmarks like 3dmark06 an 3dmark vantage from www.futuremark.com if the card locks up when running either of the 3dmarks then the card is FAULTY. the PALIT cards have a better fan/heatsink design, so the supplier might be willing to exchane toward the palit 4870 card harpo

if the problem IS a bad sector then running spinrite is the quickest answer to eliminating the problem, game re-installing is not likly to fix the problemas the bad sector might be in the SWAP file or the registry, which means that the problem could get worse harpo

[quote]Quoting Nacey, reply 25 Just so you know Ordian your mod should be 1.13 compatible as it does not change any of the GameInfo or files in the slightest it was merely game engine tweaks I thought it might be, but I have not had the time to test it out as of yet. Sometimes it is better to tell people no and be wrong then blindly saying yes. If someone could confirm this I would be greatly apprechative. [/quote] ordain I HAVE used your mod in

winxp sp2 is almost a MAJOR rewrite of the os for stability AND security issues, unless you are on dialup get sp2(258mb), although sp3 has sometimes failed to install for me on some of my customers machines the failure rate is only 2-5%, it does fail to install then I suggest sticking to sp2. refering to reply#11 if the hdd is "rattling" and suddenly stops then it could be a bad sector on the hdd and I would suggest a LOW level test of the drive with a tool like spinrite from ww
