Re: Lightning Strikes!

Jude and draclvr you are both right, if a lightning strikes close enough or directly on the power source there is not much you can do to protect oneself from a Strike if your appliances are plugged in, but a good SP also helps for what is called Spikes in your Hydro supply and that happens more ofte...

Re: Lightning Strikes!

Going back to the subject of Surge Protectors that is why I bought the one that also protects your Phone lines and coaxial cables, depending where you buy it from they are not that expensive (although you don't want to go too cheap), here is an example of such a S.P.: http://www.staples.ca/en/APC-11...

Re: What Casual Games Are You Playing Right Now, Continued

I have been playing this game for awhile and could not wait to finish to add my 2 cents worth, very long game (at least for me + taking my time to make it last) and Lots and lots of things to do, granted it has it's share of HOs which normally I do not like but the HOs are varied and most of them ar...

Re: any ideas on what to try?

It is unusual that a Cable (physically will go bad) that term is often used when there is no connection to the Internet via a Cable connection, if it was Wireless it would say something like: A failed connection between your PC and Wireless Router..... Did you call your Provider? Usually they can ru...

Re: any ideas on what to try?

Hi, When you say "replugged the cable into a different socket on my router, restarted , did you mean you restarted your Computer? or you Un-plugged your router/modem for at least 10 seconds and still no go? If you did all the above and checked to make sure the cable on your computer was properl...

Re: Windows 8

sorry draclvr, should have mentioned that I am using Stardock 8 with my Windows 8 which gives me the option to switch between Windows 8 Desktop or Windows 7 Desktop, so when I am in the Win7 mode I get this Bar at the bottom, my bad for not being clear, and you are "Right as Usual" :wink: ...

Re: Windows 8

Just a shot in the dark: Your disappearing act could also be caused if you bring your Mouse (cursor) to the very bottom right of your computer screen, there is a small translucent rectangle there (very hard to see) and when you move your mouse over it, whatever you are looking at, disappears until y...

Re: What Casual Games Are You Playing Right Now, Continued

You just bought it on my recommendation, OH oh, rumours have it that you made friends with a Witch/Voodoo doctor [smilie=Skull3.gif] on the Island that you now live, sooooooo I really do hope you enjoy this game, would hate to wake up the next day with my head shrunken to the size of a walnut.

Re: What Casual Games Are You Playing Right Now, Continued

Just finished playing The Secret Order - Masked Intent CE and here is the comment I dropped off in the GB Forum: Very sad to see it end, this game is rated as WOW in my books and unless 10 other games come along before the end of the year, this will be added in my Top 10 games of the year list.

Re: What Casual Games Are You Playing Right Now, Continued

I just finished playing: Shattered Minds: Masquerade: Good game, repayable, lot of HOs but not overly difficult to find, and the screen where you read the Objects needed is clear and easy to read and most importantly, the Hint button refresh fairly quick in Casual mode which helps to skip the harder...

Re: What Casual Games Are You Playing Right Now, Continued

Just finished Small Town Terrors: Livingston and being an adventure gamer 1st, I found this game fun to play because it was on the adv. lite side, great story, spooky at times, great puzzles, some to hard for me to solve and had to click on the Skip button (then again, I am a wimp), and as for the H...
