Grand builder, benevolent founder and leader of the peoples of the glorious lands of sknup, all around nice guy is saddened to say i may be gone a while last night me beloved pc suffered some malady the cause of which is unknown at this time (think the wife touched it) and until it is fixed i will be unable to grace the server with my presence be brave server there is nothing to fear i shall return before long. You will be in my thoughts while i am gone.

Sincerely his most Sknupness
SKNUP

WE SHALL BE BRAVE

I will help provide food for the people of the lands of sknup in your absence

T-T See you soon

Dam hope to see u back soon, gl

I can get my computet running in safe mode but not having any luck fixing the problem from safr mode anti virus keeps saying cant find end point for end pont mapping and will not run a scan

Miss the server dream about playing

@sknup
avast has known issues on that point after restoring systems, it usually means that avast files were corrupted upon the initial attack or while restoring the computer to a previous setting. idk if thats your antivirus, but my suggestion is to get an avast(or whatever your software is) downloaded on a thumbdrive or CD and do a full uninstall/reinstall while in safe mode and try again.

If youve already tried its internal repair function, then thats the next option.

and give us a little more information-
have you restored to last known good configuration?
is this your only antivirus?
have you tried any others and if so, which ones?

What exactly does your computer say when you try and do something?

@sknup Why dont u make a USB Windows boot disk and just re-install from scratch? I can assist you with this if need be

Think i have it mostly sorted just takes time. Backed up what i could from safe mode then swapped out the hard drive twice remebered why i wasnt using the second hard drive. Running detailed scans and reinstalling. Wondering if there might be a problem with my video card hope not i dont have a spare sitting around

Think ive identified the problem and have it fixed now just the long process of updating and trying to get back to where i was fingers crossed sknup maybe back tomorrow

Something wrong with my viseo card computer works fine as long as i do t update the video card drivers but cant play MC without updating

That's weird, can I learn the model of your video card?

Gtx 560ti

Back on windows 7 and base drivers

I am sure there is something wrong with the video card and it needs to be replaced but as i am still job hunting i have no money to replace it :( miss playing on the server even dream about playing

does your cpu/motherboard offer integrated graphics? i know it wont be as good as gpu but it may work

I have no idea. How would i even check

@sknup I have no idea. How would i even check

easy way to look is to take a look at the ports on the back of your motherboard, if it has a video output there (vga, dvi, hdmi, display port) it probably has integrated graphics. then ya just hook the monitor up and see if it work

Given that he has a 540 TI it seems rather unlikely, the release of them predated nearly all integrated graphics.

@R4iscool1 Given that he has a 540 TI it seems rather unlikely, the release of them predated nearly all integrated graphics.

from what i saw from a quick google search, that was the first year that intel had integrated graphics, so assuming his cpu is newest generation intel from the year that 500 series graphics cards were released, he may have it

There are no other video ports other than the video card

@ardoasms assuming

Intel graphics of that generation would very very likely not be capable of MC, it's also unlikely given that it was in high class chips which wouldn't be bundled with 560's*.

Sknup, I get the feeling this is not a realistically fixable issue on windows anyway.

Somewhat off topic, but in general I'd recommend against third party antivirus products on windows.

a new video card is on its way to me and i should be back on within a week or longer dealing with Canada post after all

that may be relevant for people running operating syatems that are still supported by the companies that created them, but on the ones that are no longer supported a third party antivirus is practically a nessecity because the os is no longer recieving security updates

anyone have any experience with total av i keep hearing things about it but not by anyone that uses it

What did CP do this time

Nothing as per usual just waiting for a delivery

hope you are back soon, masterbuilder

I"m back

Lands of sknup shall live again!
