One of our fuses got tripped here, and it turned off my computers...
And that was the last time Oldie could power back on. no beeps, nothing, it powers the network card and gives static through the speakers, thats about it. It would have been oldies 13th birthday March of this year. This is the end of a legend.

RIP



BTW, Expect huge server outages from me, I am currently running it off a VM off my gaming machine, which isn't entirely stable.


This also marks my last hope of me ever being able to play MTM2 again. I have only one other computer that could do it, and that one is probably not coming with me when I move out.

So, like, what do you need to get back in business? A new motherboard or what?

I have now setup a windows 98 machine, of which ironically, is slower, even though it has vastly faster hardware.

Now let's all take bets on how long it lasts till it gets so many viruses that it goes down?

I say 3 days (I'm gone for 3 days, of all the times for this to happen)

Yeah, two days is a little more than Microsoft used to say was the average uptime for Windows 98 (this was said after they had released XP).

Time to upgrade and stop using such old equipment.

My computer runs WinXP, and it's on 24 hours a day. It stays on and the only time I reboot is when an update requires a reboot.
Windows XP is solid as a rock.

As far as your last chance at running MTM2, you can run MTM2 on ancient computers and laptops.

I have a 2007 Dell Windows XP (DELL SUCKS!) and MTM2 works fine on it. Get a 2001 - 2009 PC (Because I think XP started in '01) and that should work fine.

No wonder we're having problems with a lack of electricity.

You must have missed some posts in the past where Slayer talks about his older computers.

Have you tried another track? I remember that's a beta that I made.

My screen did that when I first put in my new graphics card (nVidia 8800GT). It's a race horse vid card.
Just use different graphics drivers like Phin said.
