My friend who sits next to me in my computer graphics class is having trouble with his laptop.
I believe he has a virus, and i have some tools for disassembling viruses in safe-mode.
What is done exactly when a computer is booted in safe-mode, and what should i tell him if it wont boot in safe mode?... reformat and reinstall OS?



None.

If you can't boot in safe mode, I would definitely first recommend putting it as a slave drive into a second computer, often when there is a problem with the OS, and you boot off of one XP, the OS will recognize that the other is damaged and automatically repair it.

Another thing I would recommend is to get the Ultimate Boot CD as it's a great computer repair tool, and may also help remove any viruses in the process.



None.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition

Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[2026-9-22. : 8:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[2026-9-22. : 8:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.
