Pat was ding dong, an appropriate name.

Well here's the deal - vBulletin is gone, but Bonehead managed to convert the old database into our new one.  So basically the forum has been reset to all the posts that were here on the last day of the OLD forum.  All the posts and accounts from the past week are gone, but we are still using this same forum.  Every old post from the past 3 years is now a new post, and the private messages did not make it in the transfer.  Those are the main things right now, there may be some other kinks here and there...

Routine ground ball, coming very fast to shortstop, rolling steadily on the ground the whole way, right to me, then BAM...
It decides to take a nasty hop off the ground for no reason, and catches me in the upper cheekbone, swelling up the left side of my face.


(Thursday night about 1 hour after it happened)


(you can actually see the stitch marks from the ball)


(Tuesday night, swelling gone, but purple and yellow remain)

What is the difference between:

- PC3200, DDR 400, 2.6v

and

- PC4000, DDR 500, 2.8v

The second one's numbers are slightly better, but is it worth the $25 difference?

OK computer geniuses, try this one:

I had a computer running fine on an older ATI video card.  I bought a better ATI video card a few months ago.  It comes with a CD to install the drivers.  I installed the hardware, then the software and drivers.  It works fine, graphics are better, faster, ect...

Suddenly, my computer screen just started randomly freezing, but only for about 5 seconds at a time.  While playing video games, it'll freeze about once every 10 minutes, but only for a few seconds.  When NOT playing a video game, it'll do its few seconds freeze about once an hour or so.

So I go to the ATI website to address the problem.  They gave me a link and told me to install the latest driver.  I do that, it installs and everything, and THEN it asks to RESTART.  I restart, and it boots up like normal, but right before my welcome screen turns on, the monitor goes black.  I hear the startup music, by my monitor tells me its going into sleep mode.

There's nothing I can do, so I restart my computer.  I press F8, start in Safe Mode, and restore my computer to before I installed the new driver, and it works again.  Can someone help me install the new driver, so my screen won't freeze anymore, and so it'll restart after installation without going black.  

ATI can't help me, so I need you.  Any takers?

What's up with the new menu bar electricity noise, it hurts my ears.
