Because we have to go by some witty representation of ourselves on an anonymous level yet still give others a tiny peak into our inner being. Of course wit is optional as most of us prove regularly. Me, I'm a blue alien that kidnaps, er interviews humans named smith (since there's so many of them) and I only have 5 light years left on your planet.

Originally posted by: N_O_Body No, its not a game. What really ticks me off is a TV commercial using sex to advertise something that breaks into the movie I am watching at some critical point without even a fade.quote> No doubt, what's worse is those stupid ad's that hang out at the bottom of the screen WHILE you're watching a movie or show and their purpose is to advertise the next show! WTF?! It's even worse when the show/movie has subtitles and you can't read them cuz the stupid ad is in the way! GRRRR!!! Or, it's not even an ad, it's a station identification GUI.... I KNOW WHAT STATION I'M WATCHING!!! ACk!!

Yep, checked the files in an image editor and they met your above specs. The key strokes don't work. No image file opens, no dialog box... absolutely nothing happens. Wtf? grrrrr!

I have followed the instructions on Omnibus regarding loading maps in SC4 to the letter but when I get to the "ctrl+shft+alt+R" part nothing happens. I've checked the maps i downloaded and they are grey scale jpg and i have the needed config.bmp file in the region folder. I've done everything as I should have but for some reason i'm stuck. I've even hit the ESC button a few times, then tried the ctrl+... again, nothing. I've started a city in the region and backed back out into the region again, nothing, tried the ctrl+... again, nothing. My game is set to 1024x768 mode. I tried different compatibility modes and restarted the game in case my problem is that i have win7... nothing helped. I even emptied out all my plugins from plugin folders and tried again without any mods or addons... nothing. I can't seem to get the ctrl+shift+alt+R to work at all. Nothing happens and I'm sooooo frustrated. PLEASE HELP!!! Specs: I'm using a desktop ( NOT using wireless keyboard) ...Compaq CQ5320Y (AMD Athlon II X2 240 Processor 2.8 GHz) 3 GB RAM, 500 GB Hard Drive, 64Bit Windows 7 Home Edition Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.
