Here's to 'chuck a spanner in the works'...

A cobblestone base and sides with smooth sandstone along the top with wooden fencing through the middle...

Do this

Go to 'control panel'. Then click on 'display'
Go to 'screen resolution' and you should see rightunder something that says: 'advanced settings'
Click on that. Then something should pop up. Click on 'properties'
Then click on 'driver', then 'update'
Something new should pop up. Let the laptop search for stuff automatically.
(These words might be a bit different, because my PC is Dutch, and litterally translating might be not 100% right. Also it is a personal computer, so it might be a bit different from a laptop)

If the PC couldnt update the driver itself, ill come back to you.

Although very good and correct to a certain extent.. This only downloads the whql (windows certified drivers) which may not be actually the latest driver as provided by the manufacturer.

anyways....

Have you fixed the error with your graphics card driver? or at least found which card you have?

If not, this is what I do (Windows 7):

• Hover over "Start"
• All Programs
• Accessories
• Command Prompt
• Type "dxdiag" and a new box will appear with your DirectX Diagnostic Tool
• Select "Display 1"
• On the Left in the Device you will notice the "Name" (Important)
• On the Right in the Version you will notice the "Version" (Important)

• Open a webpage and go to your favourite search engine and type "[Device Name from above] Drivers"
• Find a link to the manufacturers website and follow their instructions to locate your latest drivers
• If your "Version" from the dxdiag (above) is older than the one shown on the site, download the update and install. If not, you know it either isn't the driver and should investigate further or re-download the update, install, restart and try again.

Hope it helps

uh oh... what have I done this time.... lol

Type: City
Does your community have city protection? yes

I am part of the Golden Nations province also.

City name: New Arenae

Live map link: http://smp.opticraft.net/map/#/-4443/64/4739/-2/0/0
coordinates: -4510/4497
World Name: New Guest

Contributors: Anmakna, Italian_Crafter, Proush (and a few others in minor roles)

Mayor (Only one - this is the zone owner): Felix_De_Kat

Approximate dimensions: 88,149m (302x262+95x95)

Number of active residents: 2

Number of completed, decorated and furnished buildings: 63 (so far)

What state is the project in, and what are your plans for its future, if any:

• On the Outside of the walls (along the canal side):
  Re-landscaping some of the smaller mountains a making a palm tree surround
• On the inside:
  Re-landscaping to accommodate Large styled Pillars across the top of the wide front walls, 4 further farms, 1x Large Temple, beautification, ornamental garden and relaxation areas

Why should we grant this city protection?
I am developing the City in the Guest World so that guests and members alike can visit and take in the sights of a (my second) Egyptian Styled Cities but again, this City has grown out of proportion and covers a massive area that is beyond the means of protection (I already have over 120 Coal, 12 Lapis and 7 Diamond pstones trying to protect areas of most importance (including the outer walls & the lava areas (sphinx eyes)).
I have had a few minor instances of grief (someone took a liking to my Lapis & blue woolen blocks and decided to strip the place bare - To his demise)

Wayfarer01,

Thank you for admitting and realising the error of your way. You have gained more respect from me for this action.

I am sure you may have heard the expression "An eye for an eye makes the whole World blind" - This also rings true in this case.
Put simply, If someone griefs you, your friend or someone else you know and you then return the favour by griefing him, the problem will only escalate more and more until everyone is unhappy (or banned).
If evantabor918 has/had griefed your friend and advised his sister that's how to do things on Opticraft, then you should have informed a member of staff using the /helpop feature available in-game and we will have dealt with the issue there and then.
Do not take issues in to your own hand - It makes YOU just as bad as the person who angered you.



As you can see by the image, I have rectified the grief and returned the house to its original design and there is no reason for you to return to evantabor918s house (home).

423 Blocks is an inexcusable number of blocks to grief from someone which normally results in an instant and final (permanent) ban.
However, I have read your appeal thoroughly and I do believe that you are sincere in your apology.

All actions deserve a reaction and have therefore decided that a term of ban will continue, but I will reduce from permanent to allow you a 2nd chance to prove your community worth (Only due to the fact that this is your first ban).

You can expect your ban to expire on the 27th January 2013 @ 04:21:12.

Please learn from this and not let yourself down again.

As these two bans are mine...

icewolves88 was banned for griefing someone else's entire pyramid, not griefing you, and obviously does not know how to follow the rules.

304 Blocks, 4th ban - Bye, find somewhere else to grief - Denied!

droy09 has griefed way too many people and obviously does not intend on learning from his mistakes or following the rules, there is most likely no chance of him being unbanned.

271 Blocks, 6th ban - Bye, find somewhere else to grief - Denied!

Good job Ozzy, Congrats on gaining CP - What a great build!!
