Graphic settings all weird

[omix2]

I just installed my new soundcard - creative audigy x-fi for notebook (expresscard). Anyways afterwards when I restart my pc my resolution keeps changing to something smaller I dont want, and my 3d settings keep going to "quality" with AF and AA enabled even after I set them to "performance" and adjust them, as soon as I click ok and close the window, they go right back to "quality." I dont know what the fuck is going on...

I've had problems like this, that's why I won't install Windows updates, Logitech mouse CDs, router CDs or any other kind of crap on my PC since it works perfectly as-is. I refused to install the AT&T DSL CD when I got DSL last week too.

As far as I've been able to tell, those Creative Labs CD's install a ton of b.s., especially considering it is just a freaking sound card.

/Why does every company treat your PC like a trash can and feel they can install just whatever crapware (and tons of it) they wish on people's computers?

doing a full system restore and hoping that works

Sounds to me like your GPU restarted into a kind of "safe mode" Try installing the latest drivers for your video card and/or snoop around Event Viewer to see if what I said holds any water (Right click My Computer -> Manage -> Event Viewer).

my gpu service got corrupted, i reinstalled and overwrited everything and it didnt work. then i opened up hijack this and removed the service and its working again.

Creative Labs? Don't they do Soundblaster?

That would suck if they went the way of Norton.

The Soundblaster series ended. Creative is now working on sound cards with X-FI technology, some kind of advanced sound rendering system.

Soundblaster...those were the days. remember old sierra games and DOOM generation games where you had to go through the trouble of setting up a soundcard for the game to read? damn...good times.

You'll learn to love us TU's in time.

Omicron has humurous posts especially when he is confused about something. You made Fuzznut laugh, what is wrong with that? :d

On a side note, less skilled players are an integral part of the community, treat them with respect Omicron. The more, the merrier, which means more frags.

Also they become more challenging and fun to play with when they start to get better.

[PapaSmurf]

I thought omicron was one of the lesser skilled players.

I thought you were some garbage that conveniently stopped playing when the anti wall executable came into effect.

Here come the excuses.

[PapaSmurf]

actually omi, I rarely, if ever played on speaknow before the anti-wall came into play. In fact, I only just started playing quake in the last 10 days or so, before that I hadn't played in over 2 months at least. So, if anything, I've played more on speaknow since the anti-wall was put in place. Like everything else, you got it backwards....again.
