All,
I’ve upgraded from 98 to XP and now I can’t run my Tribes 2. Program says
that my program is out of date and that there are no updates available.
Can some one please give me directions to cure this problem?
TKS, Frank

Thanks for your reply Adrian. Sorry but I don't know how to do what you
suggest. My command
line is C:\Dynamix\Tribes2\GameData\SierraUp.exe
Da**d XP. I upgraded to have faster reaction times. Now I think Tribes 2
can't be run on XP

Alter that shortcut to point to the Tribes2 exe file, instead of
"SierraUp.exe", and add " -online" (minus quotes) after the exe.

Well, if you alter the shortcut as you've been told/shown, you'll get T2
running again.

Okay, find the shortcut on your desktop or whereever, rightclick, go to
Properties, and then the "Shortcut" tab. In the line where you see that
C:\Dynamix\Tribes2\...etc, add -online to the end of it.
That should do it, if the -online thing works.
If it doesn't, try reinstalling it.

Yes it can. It's not like you're the first person to upgrade to XP

Hehe, yep. I upgrade to trade one set of bugs for a different, brand new
set of bugs.
Looks like Zappa got bitten by an old updater bug that will never be fixed.
(It gets the comparison wrong when comparing the current and available
versions on the web page to the currently installed version.)
I also add my username and password to the shortcut so I can skip the login
screen.

Also, in addition to other advice, install DefenseTurret:
http://themasters.co.za/defenseturret/defenseturret.mht...
A lot of pubs require it to play, and using its shortcut instead of the one
with the broken updater will bypass the updater and invoke T2 properly.

Check out Rodent's .plan posted here:
http://dt.nope.org/
He explains some brain damage in T2 and his work in DT to fix it. It
doesn't make T2 more stable but it handles the UE better.

Yeah, but between the Unhandled Exceptions... Sheer joy!
I liken it to my married life. Everythings great, everythings good.

There are reasons to hate XP, but usability isn't one of them.
I'm running 2k at home and XP Pro at the office, and figure one of these
days I'll buy a copy of XP Pro to upgrade the home machine, but the $200
price tag is a bit hard to swallow.

You can get an OEM copy for $130-ish, but you have to buy a piece of
hardware. Which, for a true geek isn't like a compulsory activity, but
a bonus!

ZipZoomFly is one of my very preferred online retailers. Everything is
free FedEx 2nd Day, and the prices aren't bloated to swallow the
shipping, either.

You can get an OEM copy for $130-ish, but you have to buy a piece of
hardware. Which, for a true geek isn't like a compulsory activity, but
a bonus!

ZipZoomFly is one of my very preferred online retailers. Everything is
free FedEx 2nd Day, and the prices aren't bloated to swallow the
shipping, either.

Yeah, actually. Though tarnished and aging, it's still fun. Even on a
pub.

The year XP debuted my hubby got it for me as a birthday
present. I only needed the upgrade, but it was still $100 then.
That turned out to be the WORST present I ever received.
Talk about reformat from hell. But since then, I've learned to
install upgrades on top of fresh installs to avoid troubles I don't
want to deal with. If I ever get around to reformatting my desktop,
I'll go ahead and upgrade both personal desktop pcs to XP.
But shoot, I hate to think of how many updates it would take
to get current. Ish.
Better Idea: Buy two new desktop systems.

Good stuff! One question, though- what is a "non-peripheral computer

It's what you *do* with it that matters.
(But a nice girth is always appreciated!)
Honestly, length means *nothing*, unless it's too *long*. Then
it's no fun at all. When we women talk "girl talk", we all say we'd
run away if a guy dropped trou and something much over 6" fell out.
(If you guys want to know why, and you're all over 18, I'll tell ya.
But I think most of you older guys can figure it out.)

Randy Graham's last words before the Sword of Azrial plunged through his

So is that why some men say "Get me a beer", because they are treating the
woman much like a hand?

What a backasswards world we live in where you can't say something is
an ashtray, but you can tout the cigarette lighter not 5cm to the left
of the "beverage holder".
I would like to think that it really IS a cup holder, since that's the
ages old tech support joke. And that we haven't slipped into an
absolute mire of Orwellian newspeak.
But then, what's a lighter without an ashtray?
Gee, thanks, Miracle! You have me arguing with myself!

Methinks something got lost in the translation......
"Shuck" means "remove", as in shucking corn husks.
As if you didn't know that.

No doubt. That thing next to it is in fact a "12vdc outlet", with its child
safety plug in place. (Which reminds me of a marvelous Larry Niven short
story called "The Deadlier Weapon" in which a guy having a bad day is
carjacked, and ends up scaring the beejeesus out of the carjacker. A
memorable moment is when he uses his car's cigarette lighter on the
'jacker's nose.)
