well, take out the hard drive and see if it completes its POST without any errors... maybe if you have a bootable cd or thumbdrive, try to boot off that. it is odd that it let you re-install your os (especially xp) with a bad memory module, its pretty picky about the memory being funny. id bet hard drive, but even that sounds like a stretch because its loading the os without throwing errors "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

eh, possibly a driver issue... most likely if its gonna work, formatting it and reloading may work... it could be physical damage to any of the moving peices (hard drive) or something knocked out, or possibly off thier solder points.

Year before last we had 2 182's do a fly-by after a formation load and a bird hit the lead plane as it passed by, bounced up and back and hit the trail plane. i think thats double points... right?

thats a good point, but $800 for a complete setup, it would be worth it for a beginner rig, even without the skyhook, as im sure a regular rsl would work, and you could put a cypres in it too "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

I wish I could agree whole-heartedly, but I cannot. Although cold, mathematical statistics are one aspect of the situation that governs the "reality" of risk, the individual has a large portion of the control within their grasp. We each bring to the moment our expectations, our skill, and our ability to refocus our minds on what we want to have happen. My experience confirms my belief that we are in control over more than 50 percent of the equation. Quantum physics agrees as well. You are experiencing what you have created in your visualizations and expectations, and how you handle the situations that challenge your abilities has far more to do with the outcome than simple statistics and probabilities. This is the core of the adventurer's philosophy. We believe that we can control the outcome to an acceptable degree, so we feel comfortable with the "risk-to-benefit" ratio. To the person less capable of self-trust, math seems the only answer that has any meaning. To a skydiver, math is what the whuffos do when they watch us, almost hoping we will burn in so we can give them a bit of excitement in their dull lives made duller by the fear that has turned them into spectators, rather than participants. So, you may find that your malfunction rate falls along predictable lines, but if you truly believe in yourself, you are far more likely to fix your malfunction. That's what pilots do. That is transcending math, and living on a higher causal plane of cause and effect by working on a quantum level. We are, all of us, very impressive. We jump out of airplanes and live. We live because we manipulate the situation with our minds by believing and creating what we believe through thought and action. We are benders of probabilities, and manufactures of realities. We are pilots of what is, through conscious intent. We are doing what we were born to do, demonstrating that humans are more than meat puppets. We are creators of novel moments in time that bring about novel branches of possibilities that did not exist before our attention was drawn to them. We are nothing short of visionaries.

if i had the cash... id go for it, now knowing that its not stolen its the size i need, and all i would have to do is get an aad and maybe a skyhook installed, then just swap canopies for some PD canopies and sell the ones that are on it... im sure someone out there wants an f111 setup "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

even better... paid nothing, free rental for a month, not my rig and thanks to the guys at SSM, i didnt get a chance to hang out long but terry was a nice guy, and had alot of knowledge of the canopy i was jumping lori ended up doing a couple jumps with me, and i did get some good pointers on my landings and some RW stuff i wanted to get done. I may be back out tomorrow... not quite sure whats going on yet.

but there is no mention of canopy sizes, or jump counts... and im still curious as to how the main is out of date? "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

as im fairly sure that container costs more than $800 bucks... not to mention 2 canopies... that he didnt give any information on (other than the main is out of date??) if it were me, i wouldnt touch it... id think it was HOT "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

honestly, you'd be about a million times better off asking your instructors... they can figure your wingloading, and what type of canopy you should start with. they have seen you jump, and seeing as your profile isnt filled out, we dont even know where you are and who to send you to. just ask your instructors/staff at your dz "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

Sort of. It's a DSL modem over the phone line, but I don't have to dial in to it to activate it. I can use the computer and the phone simultaneously, and they coexist. I like the theory. When I did have true dial-up previously, I never could achieve the maximum rate I was supposed to get. Hence, the noisy phone line idea fits. yeah, its actually pretty common, most people have some kind of noise in thier lines oddly enough, i used to work tech support for everyones internet right there in houston. im not sure who your phone line company is, (doesnt HAVE to be at&t) but try to get ahold of them and have a tech come do a line noise check. if its not within standards at the box, they have to bring it to standards... IIRC its called a line loop data check... dont hold me to that. also, it could be the wiring in your house, generally speaking, you dont want anything plugged inbetween the wall and the modem, and use as short of a cord as you can. keep it away from any halogen lights (and any other source of EMI that you can think of) you would generally see this kind of problem from noisey lines, but there could be other things causing it, its just the most likely culprit. simple test: plug a phone into that line, disconnect the modem (preferably plug the phone in where the modem is) and listen to see if you hear crackling or humming of some sort... diffrent sounds come from diffrent sources, so if you hear something, tell me and i might be able to point you in the right direction "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

Im going to go out on a limb and say you are using dial up? 0x800ccc0f means the connection was dropped... so, your internet connection is timing out, or you have noisey lines. You might not notice this on regular browsing, but its probably taking longer than it should. And by running that program 'Intellicast' you are possibly keeping your internet connection alive, preventing the timeout or loss of connection. so, do you have dial up?

well, im not worried about being dead on 100% of the time, but if i want to land on peas, i want to be able to. im finding alot of information for my next couple jumps, just not really sure how to find 'the spot that doesnt move' "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

nah, not right now. i have a sentry 210 (loaner) that im trying to get more accurate on, and ill be getting a sabre2 190 when i get back from my field trip just trying to find out if sinking them is a good method of attack for accuracy "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
