Hello Bobby, The site is good. There is some utilities in there that give off false positives.

So it looks like the fix is a serial link to the logic board where you can issue a series of commands to reset it. Anyone else run it this tired the fix? Tim, can you offer insights? I've ordered a USB-TTL adapter to give it try since I have all my AV crap on it don't want to loose it if possible.

[H] Steam on two PCs
If you have Steam on one PC can you install it on another one as long as you use them one at a time or do you need to remove it from one before installing to the other? Thanks
Re: [H] Steam on two PCs
You just need to log in / log out on each machine. And it should sync all your settings and saved games between the two. it's very handy. --- Brian Weeden Technical Advisor Secure World Foundation http://www.secureworldfoundation.org +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 3:41 PM, Winterlight winterli...@winterlight.orgwrote: If you have Steam on one PC can you install it on another one as long as you use them one at a time or do you need to remove it from one before installing to the other?

Re: [H] Steam on two PCs
You can have it installed on as many machines as you like, so long as they're used one at a time.
