Windows Vista "Flashing" Taskbar Problem

deathbringer — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:41:58 +0800

I've recently assembled my rig and it's currently running on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

However, after installing all essential drivers (chipset, gfx, etc.) as well as SP1, I began experiencing weird stuff with my taskbar. My taskbar is set to hidden, but every 5 seconds or so, my taskbar does a super-lightning-fast pop-up, like..errr...a flash of lightning. Also, the status bar on some windows I open flashes as well...like it is trying to refresh itself.

1) I suspect this has something to do with SP1, coz I only noticed it after installing SP1. However, I'm also running Vista Business with SP1 on my Vaio and never encountered this sort of weirdness.
2) If it's not SP1, then i suspect that it is the Nvidia drivers. I'm using the latest official drivers (175.19) for my 9800GX2. The latest beta drivers are buggy and i do not use them.
3) i'm not the only one experiencing it. Look here and here.

If someone has experienced this b4 and solved the problem, please let me know. but it better be soon. The flashing taskbar is driving me insane.

Cheers.

Assembling My Gaming Rig

HDD: Seagate 32MB 500GB (x2) [PURCHASED]
GFX: Foxconn 9800GX2 [PURCHASED]
PSU: PC Power and Cooling 750W [PURCHASED]

Mouse: Logitech G5[PURCHASED]
Soundcard: Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeGamer[PURCHASED]
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate [PURCHASED]

Info you need to know b4 giving comments:
1) Budget is set at RM5k-6k for the core system only. Budget does not include "non-core" items such as dvd-rw, keyboard, mouse, speakers, heatsinks, fans etc. You can give comments on these items if you want to. I'm looking at gaming keyboards and mice such as the Logitech G15, G5 mouse or something from Razer like the Lycosa keyboard. Speakers should be a 2.1 system. I've allocated another RM1k (max) for such items.
2) I'm looking into the compatibility of the items, as I would most probably be assembling the PC myself. So if there's any that is incompatible, let me know. This is important as I will be overclocking my system.
3) PC will mainly be used for gaming (hence a gaming rig), but also for some programming (mainly VB and web) and some amateur photo editing.
4) If I listed down several options for a component, do recommend the best option and the reason for choosing it.
5) If i left out any essential component, please let me know.
6) If u know the cheapest prices in LYP for these parts, please let me know also.
7) Specs will be updated accordingly once it is finalised. Once items have been purchased, assembly shall commence.
8) This is not a bragging thread or a thread to show off my "immense wealth". My hard-earned savings goes into this PC to replace my aging 6 year old P4 dinosaur and I plan to build another PC to last me for the next 5 years or so. I've done some research into the parts I've listed down but I need advice from the LYN horde to see if i'm making the right choices. So if u think that this is another "my rig pwns ur rig" thread, please do not comment.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

RoadBots...Transformers In Disguise... o_O

deathbringer — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 14:31:40 +0800

I was shopping in Tesco one day and managed to bump into the latest fad to come from China....ROADBOTS!! They come not from Cybertron (or Hasbro), but from Happy Well, a company based in Zhuhai, China.

RoadBots will give the AutoBots a run for their money. Unlike the Autobots, who transform into lame cars like the Camaro or Solstice, these Roadbots will whip their behinds with the Toyota Supra, Celica, Lamborghini Murcielago, Mitsu Evo VIII and IX, the Landcruiser, Pajero and various other (mostly) japanese makes.

Did anyone actually purchased one to find out about the quality? Maybe it has potential to become a collector's item?

Football Manager Live

deathbringer — Fri, 18 May 2007 15:16:00 +0800

Football Manager Live is a new concept in football management. Put your managerial skills to the test in a 'real-time' environment where you compete live and online against your friends or rivals.
Features Include:

* Create and manage your very own football club. Choose your colours and badge, design your kit and name your stadium.
* Build your own dream team from the huge Sports Interactive database of real-world players within the Football Manager database.
* Compete in Football Manager Live gameworlds 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in your quest to top the rankings table.
* Create and run your own league and cup competitions. Take on the world or simply compete for bragging rights with your friends.
* A comprehensive transfer system allowing you to buy, sell and loan players, as well as bidding for new players with the exciting auction system.
* If you invest in an expensive squad, you'll need on-field success to win tournaments and climb the rankings to balance your finances.
* Go head to head and utilise all your football management knowledge as you pit your wits against other human players in a unique match-day experience.
* Real-time SMS alerts mean you are never far away from the action.

This is the latest offering from Sports Interactive. It'll most probably be a "subscription only" MMO game.

Give your thoughts on:
1) How will it differ from the current Football Manager 2007 network play?
2) How will it differ from other online fantasy football leagues out there?
3) How much will u be willing to pay monthly for this game?
