I Installed Tremulous, But When I Opened Up

[tomek-k]

yeah... this os war is really getting tiring...

it's your choice which OS you use, and thats what it is all about - the choice (yeah - everybody knows that MS is doing everything to not let people to have any choice at all, but everybody knows also that recently they are not succeeding in it as much, so I think it's not a problem, and definitely it can't be an argument for neither against).
That I've choosen some OS means also that I'd rather have problems specific to this one than to other ones (and every one knows that every OS has it's own specific problems - for some people windows' problems are greater/more anoying than linux's problems, and for others it's vice versa).

Besides - making someone happy by force (in this case: forcing him/her to use OS that you think is the best (even if your'e right)) can only make him/her (at least) mad at you (because you try to take away his/her freedom of choose). So it won't help at all.
In my country we have a saying - "officiousness is worse than fascism".

And Lava - putting those MS links everywhere can also be perceived as "OS extremism".


It's just what I think about it.

I posted those links to MS.com to show people how retarded it is to talk about how sucky an OS is, while all somebody is doing is post a request for help. He did not ask to be ridiculed, he did not ask for advice on what OS to choose and he certainly did not ask for some retarded discussion about OS's. If you cannot help the user with his problem, just shut the fuck up and do not poison the thread with OS extremism. Period.

This is fucking stupid. Windows is the O/S he's currently using. Help him until it works.

Someone split this topic up so we can get this stupid O/S war bullshit out of here. It hurts our community.

Windows is the O/S he's currently using. Help him until it works.

There's no way to help him when we don't know the cause. Almost anything can cause the blue screen error. It might be a buggy device driver. It might be a virus. It might be a root kit. It might be some DRM. It might be some crappy copy protection. Or worse, it might be an internal kernel bug. Windows kernel is several dozens of megabytes of machine code that keeps bloating over time and nobody really knows what's going on in there. Not even a Windows kernel developer could tell you what's possibly wrong after just a few weeks since clean installation. :roll:

So if you want a Windows solution, here you go: Wipe the hard drive completely clean, make a fresh installation and pray it works.

Or, he can follow Sjeord's suggestion:

1) Go to the Desktop, right click 'My computer', select 'Properties'.
2) The 'System Properties' screen will show, click the 'Advanced' tab.
3) Under 'Startup and Recovery' click the Setting button.
4) You will find an option called 'Automatically restart', disable it.
5) Click OK twice to confirm.

Gee, maybe a little knowledge would help, next_ghost? Of course, I'd expect nothing less from a Gentoo user.

It won't FIX the problem, the blue screen message won't even give you a good GUESS what's the cause of the problem, it'll give you only a tiny hint where the problem MIGHT be. :roll: I've used all versions of Windows from W3.11 through W98 and WNT4 to WXP. None of them ever gave me any useful information about what had gone wrong outside the user space.

@ WeToYou1

You should give it a few more tries.
I'm running Tremulous on Win98SE and I haven't experienced any problems whatsoever.
Everything is running fine.

(...and as soon as I get the NVidia-driver installed, I will see how it runs on my Linux-machine....  :wink:  )
