Still haven't managed to get the game working. Though I have registered at the Undead Labs website as suggested by Steam support. After asking there I got asked to send a dxdiag by email to one of the admins. I will do that this weekend and hopefully they will be able to help. Of course that will mean letting the game crash again to show it isn't my system at fault.
I also got my ASIC miner from Butterfly Labs this week. Calum was surprised that I got him one. I have yet to figure out how to get mine to work though for some reason my sons work on my computer. I read that the drivers are fussy so after Calum gets his set up tomorrow he said he would give me a hand to get mine up and running. Before that though I need another adapter for the power cable. The one that was in the box has an American plug. The adapters are pretty cheap luckily. We have one but Calum has that now. Yes I'm soft, I let him have it as I know his unit is working. Mine is visible in devices and printers window so I'm sure it is working as well. I just need to get the mining software to see it and use it. That has so far been the problem. A mate at work suggest reinstalling Windows. I think I will keep that as a last resort though. Who likes reinstalling the operating system on a computer? Not me that is for sure. And to think that is what I did once upon a time. Mind all I really did was link the computers to the server wires and let them do their thing. That was unless something went wrong then the problems began. I think that is why I dread that side of computing so much.
Well it looks like I have a very busy weekend ahead. To add to this I have the rugby on as well. So time will be squeezed but tonight I'm going to laze back and do nothing other than watch TV.
