text differs between systemsFollow

#1 Jul 13 2005 at 8:10 PM Rating: Decent
I was just wondering if anyone else who has more than one system has noticed this problem.

I have 3 computers all on the same DSL network. I have built all of my computers. I will call them system 1, 2, & 3 to make this easier to understand.

If you type a group message on #1, what you see on #2 or #3 make come out different. It will have typos and spelling errors. It is usually system #2 or #3 that originate the text that looks different. We only noticed it because I would pick on my sons (19 & 23, one being an English major) about their bad grammer or spelling. They would then show me what their screen said.

System #3 is the oldest but still has a 3000+ AMD processor but is not a DDR board. System #1 is DDR with a 3200+ AMD, and system #2 is AMD 3500+ AMD with HTT.

Anyone have any ideas?

Have you checked to make sure there weren't low skills in the spoken language for the accounts on 2 and 3? Seems to be the most logical problem.

Yeah. Make sure that everyone has their default language set to "common". If you're on FV, there can be inherent language problems IIRC since not everyone will have the same language set starting out.

If the problem isn't localized to one program check your memory. This is a sign of a memory stick going bad. Have you been having random program errors on either of the 2 systems?

If this is the problem take care of it quick. A few months ago I had a DIMM go bad but under normal scans it said it was running fine. I have a seriously hardcore diagnostics program I ran to find the problem but the bad DIMM somehow caused a problem with the MB and in the process of 1 of many differant stress tests I blew the MB.

Well....At least I found the problem....

one other thing might be the bad word filter. If its on it will show random text instead of er...a cuss word.

My wife and I both 2 box - this equals 4 homebuilt, high end boxes sitting side by side. We find that very often the last letter, or sometimes the last word will be dropped. All 4 boxes are set up the same, all are on "common tongue" and all chack out OK on system checks. I also run a fairly aggressive systems check - scary to think about blowing one of the MB's - they were pricey.

I think the promblem is somehow in the Sony servers, Our groupmates report haveing the same thing happen to them and it seems that it happens at the same time. For the most part, except for my penchant for creating new words with my poor typing, things seem to come out just as we typed them - even the new words.

Wife and I have noticed dropped characters on occasion. Not sure why it happens. Interesting side note, and I had wondered this for a long time. I read somewhere that lot of the reason you see people saying "kk" is the extra k is to make sure something got through. EQ apparently had an annoying bug back then, that the first character would get chopped.

I've often seen the last character being dropped of /gsay chat as well.
