Bad Company 2 PC PC Freeze

July 7th, 2010
  • Onboard Sound
  • Bad Company 2
  • Punkbuster
  • Windows 7
  • PC Freezes at random intervals with a repeating sound and must be hard rebooted

Check?

Chances are you’ve disabled Microsoft’s privacy invading activation software using RemoveWAT. For some reason, this software causes this problem. The “Remove RemoveWAT” option does not resolve it, but System Restoring to a point before you ran RemoveWAT (apparently) does, as of course does re-installing your copy of Windows 7 and activating it the “legitimate” way.

Dramas

Who would’ve thought that I would upgrade WordPress, or that fixing my popdown comments would be so easy?

Who would’ve thought that I might need my rusty old php/html skills to complete my degree?

Who would’ve thought that that 4 and bit years on, I’d still be dealing with fucking Drama-llamas in WoW?

The more things change…

Yeah, I’m still here.

10months without a post, I guess thats what the introduction of things like Facebook etc will do for extremely casual bloggers.

At Uni

Living Alone

Got a new couch

Levelled to 80, twice.

Seriously though, facebook, it’s easier.

Available Now

June 16th, 2008

Doesn’t mean “Available After a Set Inspection (date to be announced)” it means as close to NOW as physically possible, If I can be there, inspect and sign paperwork in 30minutes I should be able to move a couch in 31minutes from now.

Thats my pet peeve for the day.

Hello Endless…

June 10th, 2008

There is nothing to see here, move along.

gpstore.co.nz … win???

June 10th, 2008

Blown away, totally.

Don’t know that I’ll ask for a code, but… wow.

{edit} So apparently this post ranks 3rd under gpstore.co.nz through Google as of 10/06/08.

Hello Endless, if I wrote about you (dont think I did) don’t take offence, as you can probably see most of these posts are vitriolic rantyrants. {/edit}

gpstore.co.nz FAIL

June 3rd, 2008

Why .nz? Because they were going to be cheap, they had the stock, they had the pre-order codes.

They failed. I’ve been given the run around by the shoddy folks at Gameplanet Store NZ, delay after delay, a week between email getting sent and getting replies. In the last email they apologised again and promised they would reduce the freight cost.

They did, by 45cents.

Good job Gameplanet! At a more reputable store if they promised something and failed to deliver, I would have expected to see the freight cost magically become super-fast courier cost so that I would have as little a wait caused by their mistake as possible. So i’ve sent gpstore another message, sure they ignored the last one, but this one asks them to please cancel the order and informs them that any charges to my Credit Card will be disputed.

Wonder if that’ll perk them up any…

Done.

Complete.

Read.

Loved.

I shall now take my brain on a holiday where it shall sit by the pool and drink colourful drinks with umbrellas in them.
