Putting linux on it for a safe internet browsing box & file archive is good.

Buy a new code for your copy of XP. You can get them from Microsoft. (Better yet, buy a new computer, get the info from that, then return it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif) NO crap, that happened to my neighbor, bought a brand new computer from Best Buy, took it home, set it up, and when he was prompted to register XP, it told him that his registration number was invalid. Then he found a disk in the CDRom drive. Took it apart, boxed it up, and returned it to Best Buy. When they tried to charge him their customary restocking fee, he told them to go to hell that they had sold him a used computer. He proved it too. The inside of the case was filled with dust. They gave him his money back and he ordered a Dell. (shudder). But he is very happy with it.

Re: Starting over.
 

I just ordered Sins of a Solar Empire, but also found out it didn't have customizable ships. Hence, poked my head in here to find that I haven't played since v1.91!

I'd have to start studying all the files again just to figure out how to combine my favorite mods into one big monster mod that might actually work. *sigh* Maybe I'll wait a few more patches...SEIV still being supported and patched?

It's nice to see it's still active around here, Shrapnel's great to have hosted it even after it left their purview!

SE4 is done, no more patches.

Re: Starting over.
 

Although there is the windowed SE4 tool to give the UI a bit of a boost.

Aw, too bad about SE4. At least it has the next best thing: a great mod community! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Thanks for the Windowed SE4 Tool! It's bloody BRILLIANT! I've been wanting one of these since the game came out. Great job!
