Good news everyone. As long as I am not a zombie due to swine flu by tomorrow ;) I should have my new laptop tomorrow morning and be on ESO by the evening (not sure if it has a mic or not) Look forward to getting some games in and hopefully starting up my own VOD's with the Aztecs in a few months once I get my eye back in.

You're not a zombie yet? And just when I finished cleaning out my Mauser... ;)

Glad to hear you'll be back on, buddy! GL HF.

Whenever I go to install TAD, I get this error:

AOE3 and TWC installed fine, this box just appears at the stage before I enter the activation key.

TBH I would be more worried about your wallpaper.........



On a serious note, vista can be a little funny installing AOE, try googling for a fix, I can't remember what I had to do but it was a strange proccess.

I don't have Vista so I'm at a loss but just wanted to say S.T.A.L.K.E.R is an awesome game can you get max graphics on your laptop?

I see you got Fraps installed as well hope you got a big harddrive or an external one cuz its like 50gb for one game!

Oh yeah, dynamic lighting ftw 8) It is bloody awesome. After my last laptop which could just run it on min settings, I just stood there looking around the zone for miles taking the moment in, then got attacked by a dog :-P

Yeah, this is a beast of a laptop, although the FRAPs is mainly for another forum where I write stories for them (with ingame screenshots) Last one I did got over 47,300 views and 1,674 replies/comments 8)

my laptop only has a 300gb harddrive and for a schol project i put 2gether a video file of several different video games that i recorded using fraps. i ended up having a 200gb video file with only 30 min of video. took me a month 2 find out what was taking up 66% of my harddrive space. lol.

I have tried everything guys, it is just not happening. I am at my wits end, I have wasted about 2 and a half hours today trying to get TAD to load. I am not buying a new CD and it is not even that scratched

try ringing a vista help line if there is one? otherwise just Google the hell outta your problem. After 8 re-installs I finally managed to get Empire:Totalwar up and running after the new patch killed it for me.

hope this helps :) first hit on google when i typed in

"Error Loading PID Generator DLL. the dll could not be found"

you might wanna be careful since ur gonna be touching windows files.

Edit: from what i understand from that post is u should first check if u have mfc42.dll in C:\Windows\System32
