Thanks HSA. I'm not sure if/when I'll get back to this blog. In the mean time the Video Game Law blog over at Davis LLP is the best one going - well, for as long as mine is in hiatus that is! :)

There is no rss feed for my domain http//www.daledietrich.com itself I do, however have three feeds for each of my blogs. On the top right of every blog page is the orange rss feed icon. Click on it to add the feed for that blog to your rss reader. ...Dale

Pepe, the screen might actually be relevent. I never thought of it until now. I bought a plasma HDTV about 4 years ago and games do not bother me as much as they used to. I had thought it was that games and frame-rates had improved, but part of it could also be a MUCH better screen.

My guess is that inverting the Y axis will make things worse for you. I note that when a controller does not act how I expect it too, that causes me to get nauseous quicker. One of the reasons I started this thread was in response to the inability to invert the Y-axis to my preference (see above). When my brain thinks/expects the screen to go one way and it goes the other way ... the stomach almost instantly starts to churn.

Nathan ... I too get sick while reading in a car (but not a plane). I wonder if that is another common thread between all of us that get queasy in some video games. Good point.

I'm glad you find the site interesting Ann. I do not think inverting the Y axis will work for you though unless that's your normal orientaiton. If you usually play with the non-inverted Y axis, inverting it will likely make you sicker. The reason it makes me sick is because I'm used to playing EVERY game with an inverted Y axis. When I can't invert, then my brain is working the opposite way that the game forces me to move - creating instant nausea. I'd be really curious if you find a "cure". I never have. There are any number of terrific games I just had to abandon because they made me too sick to play.

Odd, isn't it, that it works one way for some people and another for others. I'm happy either way, just so long as there is a way to solve it for everyone.

Dan, you can resell the phone to others but you'll have to pay whatever penalties apply to leave your current plan with Rogers. I explain the details of this in another post here:

Huh! So far I haven't experienced this. I'm now writing this on my Lenovo Tablet with W7B installed on a second partition (thanks Mike). So far its all good here too.

Thanks so much Ed. I have updated the post to add screen shots on the new reliability monitor and how to find it. I'm still disappointed that, like the 'Create Restore Point' utility, there is no way to pin system tools like these to the start menu or the task bar. These are tools I use all the time and want quick access too. Happily they can be pinned to the 'Quick Launch' bar for those who use it.
