I stand by my post. Mech Warrior 4 miserably failed my \"must buy\" criteria but it was purchased ONLY to play a game together with guys from my (non-Descent) online team. Big big mistake! Perhaps it was early in the game play but at that point they hadn't fixed the getting shot through te...

Don't know anything about \"Darkness Rising\".

From what I saw on a Google Search... It was the pre-release name for \"Freespace 1: The Great War\".

The ONLY way that I would consider playing ANY Mech Warrior Game is: (Refer to \"Mech Warrior 4\") 1. Radar ON for everyone (referred) OR no radar at all. Radar was useless. 2. NO getting shot through buildings or terrain. People could shoot you literally through the terrain if they knew w...

Have there been any documented cases of security breaches due to this plugin? The fact that this was installed WITHOUT my permission is a security breach on its' own. The method used bypassed my preferred security settings. Like Steve Gibson's TNO (Trust NO One) policy, this really puts Microsoft o...

Topher, Thanks for the feedback. If it is a DEP Failure in Windows Vista, then is there a particular reason that my executable program doesn't have the same DEP Failure with DEP ON in Windows XP using the SAME executable?

Halo 2 isn't really worth upgrading for anyway, from what I understand. It kind of rings alarm bells if you're having to disable data execution prevention in the first place, by the way.

Correction: It's the same OS, but with changes. Not quite correct. The Windows Vista "Virgin Stack" problem was a major step backwards... Instead of taking a known and very much working copy of the "Windows XP Stack" they reintroduced issues that had been resolved already in Win...
