Or go into the control panel>mouse>and verify if its been turned left handed. Check the settings and if the problem persists go to device settings>reset devices.

Just remember the old rule....red and black; friend of jack...black and yellow; kill a fellow.

Do you think the action of his legs snapping forward from linestretch helped protect the rest of his body from the initial impact?

I plan on using this to my advantage...I've thought that for a while that I could strap a camera 'just to film my jumps' wasn't a big deal and then saw the video posted here before where someone with low jump numbers (I'm sure this guy was very experienced ...but hey it happened to him) had a cypres fire from 'trying to get the perfect shot'. I will do what the experienced jumpers here (and my instructors) and try to get good on my belly before I progress to anything else that will cause a distraction on my skydive. The best part of this whole story was that he survived and was flying again a year later.

Please forgive me if I sound insensitive...I'm not...but how does something like this happen? exit...wings inflate...looks at other flier...dude I can totally see your boner with this new HD camera... looks forward...wholly shit!! deploy...linestretch..BAM!! I know I STILL dont know SHIT...I'm not saying I know anything but appearantly this is why I need to have 250 jumps before I don a camera on my helmet... lesson learned...maybe I'll even wait til 300 jumps now.

So would this be the first wingsuit flier to land without a parachute and still survive?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1262460/Daredevil-makes-return-jump-4-000ft-peak-recovering-100mph-fall.html A daredevil base jumper who survived a 6,000ft fall has returned to the skies just 12 months after his horrific injury. Standing 4,000ft above the ground at the top of Mount Trento in northern Italy, James Boole completed an incredible comeback as he soared for one mile over the open plains. Reaching speeds of up to 100mph the Staffordshire-born skydiver hurtled through the clear skies before opening his parachute 500ft above the ground. 'There was a good mixture between nervousness and excitement," said James, 32.

'But as I came into land my parachute I felt ecstatic, it was great.' James has made a miraculous recovery after his parachute failed to open during a wingsuit flight in Kamchatka, Russia on Good Friday last April. The professional sky diver, camera man and extreme sports fan fell 6,000ft crashing into the snowy mountains at 100mph. Breaking his back, cracking a rib, chipping several teeth and bruised a lung he amazingly lived to tell the tale. Forced to wear a body brace for three months, the father of one never thought he would be able to jump again. 'Immediately after the accident, I really thought that I might never be able to jump again whether it be that I physically wouldn't be able or that I might lose interest or too scared to do it,' he said. 'Once the brace came off I started with physiotherapy and going to the gym. 'As I got all of my fitness back and I was as strong as I was before the accident, I made the decision that I definitely wanted to jump again.' Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1262460/Daredevil-makes-return-jump-4-000ft-peak-recovering-100mph-fall.html#ixzz0js9EYdiI Adopting a stringent training regime as well as physiotherapy James defied the odds to regain full fitness. 'When I told my family and friends that I wanted to jump again there was mixed reaction,' he said. 'Obviously my family were very concerned that I would want to do something like this again after such a serious accident. 'At the same time they know me and they understand what a big part parachuting plays in my life. So they were concerned but accepted that it is my decision.' Spending 12 months mentally and physically preparing for the jump, James admitted he was a little nervous as he stood on the precipice. 'The thing I remember most as I stood at the top of the mountain was don't make any mistakes,' he said. 'I focused on doing things safely and I did a relatively straightforward jump and didn't exaggerate in anyway. 'As I got closer to the exit point we were hiking up the fear and the anxiety - there was a good mixture between nervousness and excitement to jump again. 'As I got closer to the jump point the fear went away and I became more and more excited to jump again. That said I still had some Elvis knee knocking going on as I stood on the cliff edge. 'Once my feet left the rock and I pushed away at first you have no speed at all because you are pushing off a solid object. 'As gravity pulls you downwards there is no sound and force on your body at all. After a few seconds you start to speed up and you start to hear the wind and the noise picks up. 'The suit inflates and then the force of the air hits your body. When that happened I realised I was back home.' Touching down, James was filled with emotion. 'I landed feeling awesome,' he said. 'My friends were waiting for me and my wife and my daughter. I was full of energy and joy and I remembered how much I enjoy this. 'I couldn't wait to go back up and do another one.' For James, who lives in Trento with his wife Kristina 24 and baby Melissa, 15 months, his return to action has helped draw a line under the last 12 months but he is ready to stop taking so many risks. 'Before making this jump I hadn't made any plans about what I would do jumping wise in the future,' he said. 'I wanted to do this one jump to really come full circle, to be where I was a year ago to get back on the horse so to speak. 'Now I would like to carry on jumping maybe a little bit less, doing things a little bit less risky than before but its still a major part of my life.'

Last time I checked there were precious few video games that were exactly 'spot on' regarding any genre they attempt to impersonate. And why you pull the 'RROD' card you are forgetting how this upcoming holiday season team xbox will release project natal that uses a 3-d camera to map your body and it can scan pictures you create and almost instantly import them into the xbox. This new technology will dominate the marketplace and strike a crushing blow to Sony and Nintendo. No controllers. Here look for yourself. http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14357198/project-natal-e3-demo-series/videos/ces10_projectnatal_010609.html -

Oh my bad the one from the youtube video is only for the PC last time I checked...I thought you were talking about the OP's game. -
good to know...I take it you have already taken into consideration the distance for bungee stretch that could increase the height of the slackline to the nuts...

I'm not really into 3rd person games..(although I did come to like crackdown) I would say this looks interesting...and IGN gave it a 8.8 so a few minor problems aside looks pretty sweet...and they also said that there was no vertican limit to the game...sound like you can fly a jet as high as possible..jump out and experience minutes of freefall to explore. If it werent for you I would have never known the cool possibilities of this game. -
To disable the service, use the services mmc snapin (right click My Computer, Manage, then drill down to services) and stop the Windows Defender Service. To avoid it starting at next boot, you can set the service's startup type to disabled. --------------------------------------------------------- Or start>run>services.msc Also if you still want to remove it...it could require you to get into the registry and manually remove keys associated with defender...let me do more research and I'll let you know.
