I'm a newbie in this game so I don't know a lot of stuffs
and I just recently became a bard and honestly I still don't know how to play my role as a bard in team/party game play
all I can see is that my new skill is only useful to replenish the healer's MP right? but I didn't see any need to do it because
in my experience the healer don't have any problem with low MP
maybe in very tough boss fight it'll become handy
what do you guys think?
anyone care to explain and share their experience?

Internet Problem

I've just recently registered tmnet streamyx combo (last Saturday)
and finally got my streamyx working this Thursday
I subscribed to the 512kbps package
on the first day, my download speed reached up to 210 KB/s
but on the second day and until now ...it's either around 10 KB/s and max is around 70 KB/s

and today I can't even sign in to MSN, some images won't load, got "404 error page not found" or "invalid request" on certain forums that I usually visit and when I tried to access google, I got BBC news page instead

can anyone help me troubleshoot these problems?

I'm using a ZTE ZXDSL 831 modem

Mysterious Display Problem

Hi there,

My old computer here is using Acer AL511 monitor and Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440 display adapter

I've been using 1024X768 resolution with 60 Hz screen refresh rate all this time.

However, after 2 days of not using the computer, the display suddenly became distorted.

i can't make out anything from the display except for a glimpse of the taskbar? and sometimes the display also went blank

i've restarted my computer in the 'Enable VGA mode' by pressing F8 before entering windows
i was relieved to find that my monitor can still display at low resolution (800X600)

so i tried testing experimenting with resolution and i found that..

if i set the screen refresh rate at 60Hz, i can't use the 1024X768 resolution that i had always been using

but if i set the screen refresh rate at 70 - 75 Hz, the monitor can display in 1024X768 resolution without any problem

so does anyone here have any clues or ideas to the reason why my monitor stop working with screen refresh rate set at 60Hz ???
