You should search google for drivers, if you update them you should be able to see your drive again.

I tried using Skype 5.6 but when I start it doesn`t appear,it doesn`t give me any error or anything it simply doesn`t show anything...I can`t download latest version of skype because of my computer...What should I do?I use Windows XP SP3

[Lhamster 4,081]

Firstly, I'd suggest getting a new OS, security updates for XP will stop in less than a year... Open Task manager to see if the skype process is actually running first.

[r_Damn_Slow0 12,476]

hmmmm, is there any particular reasons why you sticked with 5.6 ??

[DanTheKiller1 2,889]

hmmmm, is there any particular reasons why you sticked with 5.6 ??

Because I can`t download latest version.Everytime I try to download it he stops at 99%

[r_PlayerHero0 16]

Than use a different download site.

Than use a different download site.

That may contain Malware or viruses you do know that..

[r_PlayerHero0 16]

Don't you have a virus scanner?

[Aero.v2.0 1,456]

Just to let everyone know, I have started a new compute support from that can be found here.

[canadarules 1,938]

hmm seems ths topic gone blank so time to jump start it again witha random question.

 

Can Tanki online be run without any intergrated circuit or graphics card.......or do you need one. Furthermore would that mean that the internet can run it alone :mellow:

anyway since i am now in a hot country, anyone here got some good tips on how to keep laptops at a cooler temperature ??  FYI, do not tell me noob things like clean vents, i'm not that noob either..  i sometimes OC my graphics chip,, but since i'm not in uk anymore, the hot temperature around me doesn't suit the non liquid-cooled hp pavillion dv7 3020ea i got.. any tips ?

[Irontank1v 836]

^Don't know about any, but where i live the normal temp is +40^oC and my laptop is on for straight 12 hrs. The only thing i do is use it in Air conditioned room.

Hey, you have almost exact laptop as I have. I don't have any tips of how to keep your laptop cool down though.

Mine lags a bit ( not so often but with some apps like firefox) even I defragged it and stuff. Do you have that issue?

[r_Damn_Slow0 12,476]

idk which exact model you have but the one i got has a 1st gen core i7 and an Nvidia GT230 chip..  The GT230 is really an entry level chip, but for tanki it does the job.  I use firefox as it works best for me.  the only option i do not have on is SSAO (Deep Shadows) but everything else is on and i do get 40+ fps ...

 

if i OC the graphics a lil i get a nice 60FPS as well ...

 

all i do is use Ccleaner from time to time, and update flash and other stuff, like drivers etc regularly.. simple ;)

Ok cool. I have radeon HD 6490M graphic which is not so great but I also get around 40fps too with high settings. Never though of doing CCleaners, will look at it.

[r_Damn_Slow0 12,476]

yours vs mine

 

As you can see, your card is much more recent than mine, but it does has its limitations here and there and is still an entry level graphics card... so, my advice is to do the normal regular performance tweaks like you can find on the FAQ ,, close some apps run tanki on a map in the browser you use,, then try running the same game , same map etc, but this time on standalone flash viewer ... if it makes a noticeable difference then your problem is the browser and connected apps, or your system resources being hogged by other apps..

 

also, try play without all these graphics options on.. have 1 or 2 of them ticked off... for instance  the deep shadows one is really not necessary and bogs down on your graphics card too much...

Should I clean my Pc with a leafblower?? :/

Quote it.

I clean my whole laptop's inside each half year. So the fan can do a good job. xD

[r_Damn_Slow0 12,476]

lol ... a bit too powerful but might be a good trick... i might try that... all i need now is a leafblower :D

but honestly if u wanna clean, use some air dusters, they are cheap ... blow in a bit, then vaccum the vents... just be careful with it.. some people somehow manage to break their fans with it,,, how they do that i still got no clue clumsy as i am 

[HeroPlayer 797]

Just blow the dust out once and your good to go. Doesn't have to be super clean, just get the dust removed.
