my dad thinks that the game is harboring viruses into the computer and therefore causing it to run slower..

this computer is complete crap., since we bought it, its ALWAYS BEEN RUNNING THIS SLOW..

/pif it really pisses me off to think that i have to quit playing cuz of heinous reasoning such as my dad's....... who barely knows about computers...

anyway.. if anyone could be kind enough to post proof that ragnarok doesn't harm any of our PCs' harwares, i'll show it to my dad so maybe then i can continue my adventures in Rune-Midgard....

thanks..../sob

i SO HATE my DAD RIGHT NOW

try mo maghanap ng mga antispyware software... then scan mo pc mo... after makita results pakita mo ren sa dad mo and point the location of the spyware... simple lang naman yan eh dahil sa mga antispyware makikita mo kng from what site galing and kung anong directory cya nakainstall... so pag meron kang nakitang spyware from LUG or nakainstall sa iyong ragnarok directory saka ka palang tumigil sa pagraragna

pero pag wala sabihin mo na sa kanya na ibili ka ng bagong pc kung ayaw nya gamitin mo yang luma na yan...

:spam: :spam: :spam: :spam: :spam:

paliwanag mo ren na mas madali makakuha ng virus or spyware sa yahoo messenger than playing online games

about the antispyware software, we have norton and all this other antivirus crap that my dad had installed into the pc.. its a new computer and everything but its obviously of poor quality.. i'm not complaining but still.. that could be one other factor why it runs so DAMN SLOW...

about the YM thing, EXACTLY... we even have LIMEWIRE for god's sake but he's so intent on pointing the finger to blame on Ragnarok../an

Ragnarok harboring Viruses? /heh

Ragnarok is a Client-Server game. Unless your Dad thinks that LUG intentionally sends Virus to your PC, then he's free to complain :P

You can only get Virus,Spywares,Adwares,Malwares,Worms,Trojans, Etc. from malicious websites such as Porn sites and Crack/Serial sites.

About Ragnarok making your P.C. slower, well yes and no.

Yes, If your hard disk does not have enough space left prior to installation of ragnarok, then it would really make your P.C. slower (You must have at least 1 Gigabytes left), And you haven't defrag your P.C. after installing the game. (Data.grf, a HUGE file created after installation can cause massive fragmentation, but defragging your system would normalize it)

No, because ragnarok does not stay in your P.C.'s RAM when you're not playing, meaning it would not affect normal operation of the P.C. when you're not playing.

FACT:
no matter how fast you think you system is, it will run slower eventually due to file fragmentation and growing number of processes that eats up its memory. BUT RAGNAROK WON'T MAKE IT SLOWER WHEN IT'S NOT IN USE - of course unless your Dad uses your P.C. while you're playing Ragnarok, but then that would be impossible :P

Things that causes your P.C. to run slower:
Your Anti Virus
Lime Wire
YM
And other softwares that automatically run when you start your P.C.
Those softwares eats up a lot of memory, and Lower memory result to slower performance since your P.C. is forced to use Virtual Memory to cope up. (Virtual Memory is much slower than RAM)

Hope that helps. Gud luck explaining to Him then /no1

prove mo sa dad mo dat ur computer can't catch a virus through playing RO.. set a compu that is dedicated for online gaming, and another computer for web browsing and chatting.. i'm sure there are least chances of getting your gaming pc of catching a virus while the other one, sure a hell of an open virus vault.. :D

what kind of processor, motherboard, memory & video card does your PC have?

sometimes if the hardware/s is not compatible with the other hardware/s *daw* it affects the speed of your PC.

i think you have to let your dad read stealth's explanation as it seems he knows what he's talking about. /ok

as for anti virus try using trend micro PC-cilin instead of norton. !=)

your pc shouldn't load too much processes in a 64mb RAM. Babagal talga yan. Tell your dad to go to run, then msconfig, the system configuration utility will appear. Form there click the startup tab and uncheck all unecessary application that runs even when not in use. Consider unchecking YM and limewire. (Limewire alone consumes alot of memory.) Then restart your P.C.


Or.

Buy more RAM. /ok

and i guarantee you Ragnarok can never bring Virus to your P.C.

windows xp = O.S. Operating System
intel = semiconductor company
celeron = processor name/model
(actually me socket pa nga toh. ex. is socket 478)
ung chip na sinasabi mo, memory ng video card mo yn or ung DIMM? SDRAM? DDR? ambaba kasi, 64mb lng, mhhirapan tlga yn mag process lalo pag games.

284 ram isnt quite enough for XP its just the memory, like stealth said YM and such consume a lot of memory and i agree to that especially the OS itself
