Recommendation for a new notebook

[[AK]Hylander]

Is it only WoW, or are there signs of other problems outside of the game? If it's only WoW, you may want to try cleaning out the 'cache' folders (its been so long I forgot which 2 they are - I'm sure a few others can remember). Worst case scenario, you could reinstall.

If it's outside WoW and in other applications as well, then obviously there is something else going on.

WBD and WTF folders.

WBD and WTF folders.

LOL, empty your WTF folder...... WTF!

You gentlemen have come to my aid yet again.

Clay tried all of the suggestions and now I am free to waste time on the computer again.

My personal theory was that Clay broke it to encourage my cooking skills that have been atrophying.

I appreciate the advice, now if only Clay's crashes were that easy to fix.

I gave this advice about a 5% probability of success (defrag the HD and empty out a cache file? - come on!)

And to my surprise, it worked! Thanks guys.

Glad to help a fellow addict.

It would appear that I called it cured a bit too soon.



Sager will send out a replacement video card tomorrow. Since it is the holidays, it unfortunately will not be here until Monday.

Ouch, that looks freaky.

How's the tech support coming, Clay? I ask because I got my 15" Sager 3880 laptop set up today. It's running Server 2003, but I've got Ventrilo running on it, and I'm going to see if WoW will run on it as well when I get home. If all goes well, I might be doing Strat from my couch tonight.

It really is sweet--2ghz Centrino, 1 GB RAM, GeForce 6600, integrated cam and mike for videoconferencing, 15" 16:9 aspect ratio screen--and net price of just under $2000. (Of course, I convinced the office to buy it as a mobile Ghost server/development domain, so the net cost to me was $0.) Now I just need to get a second desk in my office so I have enough space for all my computers!

Hi Beast,

So far, I am not sure what's going on with the Tech support. I'm beginning to wonder if I should be concerned.

At first they offered to start by just sending me a replacement video card, and see if that fixes the problem. So I filled out their form and FAXed it back to them last Tuesday. That's the last I have heard from them. They do not respond to any E-mails anymore, and now when I try to call, I connect directly to an answering machine - no humans are answering the phones anymore.

Maybe all is well and my card is on the way, but the fact that it is a week later with no card, and the fact that they are no longer communicating by any routes is not encouraging.

Beakers notebook was repaired with the NVidea card and all was well - until her day.

The notebook is toast, yet again. My opinion of Sager's product is falling.

Happy Birthday dear.
