Thank you! This we didnt study in school nor did I study myself. Seems that MS support person was wrong in this, once I called them about different issue and support guy was thinking audibly, and then he said if Windows is installed with ide/ahci, it cannot be changed.. but of course it could, as well as you can prepare windows for putting it into a wim and installing to another pc. Well, always theres something new to learn

So many things are possible that tech support people may not know about them. This is why I prefer a Google approach rather than seeking support from a single person. I've found far more tricks of the trade on Google than I ever learned in classes or from actual tech support people.

I will warn you, the above procedure doesn't work 100% of the time. I had a stubborn OEM computer that I tried it on and it would never switch over to AHCI. It might have worked with a re-install of Windows but it wasn't worth it. It's only really worth it when you have a SSD.

Oh yes, if you have installed windows with that old setting, you cant use the new. Good that its solved now!

You actually can and it's pretty easy;

Put your old hardware back in first. Does it work? If yes, then run this:

Remove any drivers, shut off the computer, swap parts and try again.

If that doesn't work then you'll have to repair the Windows installation. Without messing with command prompt, you can usually get away with a system restore from a Windows installation disc/thumb drive. If you need an installation disc, I'd suggest torrenting one, preferably a MSFL version. That will be a pure install, straight from Microsoft. There's no problem downloading it. It's only illegal if you install it with an already used serial key or bypass the activation. You're just using it for repair.

I'd almost wager that the issue lies in the memory you swapped over. Perhaps the timing/speed is different between the two computers. Resetting the BIOS might fix it but in some cases not, it may not be running at the speed/timing/voltage it needs to. I've personally swapped Nvidia graphics cards in and out of different models and didn't have an issue. The "proper" way is to clean the old drivers out first and do a clean install on the new drivers from Nvidia, not the manufacturer.

Hmmm interesting you know how long I've been trying to get with nick to set up a server for us, before we went with hooster???

3 months, 2 replies in all that time, thx bUT no thx, besides vortex is only American servers, euros won't dare play on American servers, well maybe 5 would that I know of lol

How were you contacting him? Nick is very easy to get a hold of on Skype.

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

It's only because the main offices are not in use anymore. You know damn well we like to do most of our work in the off shore offices in the Bahamas.

It's nice to know that monkey is keeping my chair warm anyway. Probably doing a better job than me at fixing bugs

Possessed has actually done a decent amount behind the scenes on the auth server to fix issues and restart it when needed. You might want to get the facts before you start raging about a free game.

The fact is, if the issue was easy to solve, it would be. However, the majority of the admins don't hang around much anymore because of time constraints. I could come around more but I'm largely useless now that I have no desire to map, Possessed knows way more about the auth server than I do. Killaman's totally gone. ELiZ lurks around here every so often but I get the feeling that he avoids this place more and more due to the drama, not to mention his busy life. Nick is a good guy and wants to help but doesn't have intricate knowledge of the auth system enough to migrate it over to other servers that would be behind DDoS protection. It took Jonny & ELiZ days to setup and migrate the auth system to another server and make sure all the issues were worked out.

So, there's the why.

How did you guys acquire the auth system? Could you not somehow get the rights to distribute seeing as how they dropped support and the franchise is dead?

To get into more detail, the Assist authorization system has nothing to do with the original auth system that was shipped with America's Army. The original authorization system still exists in the game but the servers it talks to have been shut down for years. The Assist authorization system is a custom homemade solution to authorize players through Battletracker.com. It's code that was made by Crusade and Jonny years ago that is added into the game by Assist.
