Any recommendations on externals?

**Yugl** · 2012-11-29 18:29

Cheapest you can find imo. I had a western digital that worked well.

Thanks

So, I keep getting this from my usb 3.0 drive

and when I install my computer's usb 3.0 driver (or reinstall), I get this

How does one fix this problem (and yes, the speeds reflect that of a 2.0 drive, so it's not just a fruitless error message)

See if that works.

Just grabbed an ASUS 7850 and after installing it, I noticed ASUS and AMD have different driver versions available. Should I stick with AMD or manufacturer for updates?

**Jojimbo** · 2012-12-01 04:51

Go to AMD, latest 12.11 beta drivers have quite large perf boosts over other ones.

Got the port working, thanks. Have another question.

All my JP/Korean songs show up as square boxes for their titles instead of the respective text. Is there any way to fix this?

I recently bought the THQ Humble Bundle and have been installing the games on steam. Everything downloaded find except for the company of heroes games which got to 98% each and suspended. How can i get them to finish x.x

What program? Or do you mean in windows.

**Cream Soda** · 2012-12-01 14:13

Windows/Foobar

**Caiyuo** · 2012-12-01 14:18

Just a guess, but it sounds like either a font it's expecting is missing or the eastern languages pack isn't installed.

**Cream Soda** · 2012-12-01 14:32

Is that available on home premium, or do I gotta reinstall just to have my music show up properly, don't want the whole interface in JP or Korean or anything like that

**Caiyuo** · 2012-12-01 14:37

Did you not have to do that before? I know Ultimate offers all the language packs after installing, but if you've never had to install them then it might be something else. After a quick look, it doesn't seem like eastern languages are offered for anything below Ultimate.

**Jojimbo** · 2012-12-01 14:40

Done a bit of googling, try this and see if it helps

**Cream Soda** · 2012-12-01 14:43

Only installed whatever was required, the text was always there by default, but I guess I'll reboot sometime soon since I have a lot of this shit and seeing boxes forever will be annoying

Edit: saw the post above, will try, thx

Edit 2: That one is for windows ultimate

Had a similar problem yesterday, opposing fronts was stuck on ~80% with status dl pause and unable to resume. What fixed is was to check the game files of CoH and both addons for errors, it downloaded a few kB for each and that's it.
Oh, and in case you can't start CoH (you just get the busy mouse icon for 1-3 seconds and nothing happens), rename the XThread.dll in the CoH folder and replace it with this one: http://www.franken-online.de/darylva...oh/XThread.dll
Seems to be a common problem with the steam version, the steam forum is full with it...

Snapped the first SATA on board connector on my htpc while derping... Does this mean i can't use the others?

**Tajin** · 2012-12-01 20:15

Rest should be usable still. Guess it depends on bios.

**Niya** · 2012-12-02 08:57

SATA ports are independent, you can attach your disk(s) to any of them, doesn't matter. Just make sure you set boot order correctly
