The last few days my video card burned up (Which is suck) i return the video card to the store where i bought it. Well they said it will take me 3-4 weeks before i can knew if they will replace my burnt 3 month old Inno3d 560-Ti. So it is still a 50-50 chance if it will get replaced after 3-4 weeks / 1 month. So i guess my question is:

1.) I still got a few days in my subs. my account will not be deactivated or deleted if not renewed within a month or a year right?
2.) I really really need to adjust my Skills because anytime of the day my current research will be over. So my idea is this, can i put eve in a 16GB USB Flash Drive and just plug in and play to computer cafe where i will plug the USB Drive and play eve? Its like playing eve anywhere?

Well i cant really use my comp right now it doesn't have a video card and doesn't have an onboard card on the mobo so my computer is a complete worthless right now. Help please.

accounts dont get deleted so dont worry.

and yeah you can run from an USB driver (you will not have any settings though)

Overview settings, warning messages, chat channels will all reset to default

And yes the USB drive thing will work, may be a bit slow to start up if it's USB1 though
You can also just copy the EVE directory onto any computer you wish, it's exactly the same as if you'd installed it

Your account won't be deleted if you allow your sub to lapse for a while and you can run eve from a usb as it doesn't set any registry entries. The settings mentioned are all the window, overview and other stuff you set on the client on your machine, everything will be at default, but if it's just for setting skills for a couple of weeks that won't bother you for now.

I get the feeling your local internet cafe isn't going to like you downloading the entire EVE client, and installing it to a flash stick is going to take a very long time (if the cafe computer even has the permissions necessary for you to install software). It's about 13.1gb installed, god knows how big the client download. I'm tipping well over 4gb

I would pull the hard drive out of your computer and put it in an external case and take that to the cafe to use.
Or pull the hard drive out and put it into a friends computer and then copy the client to your flash drive

errrr as I see it your three options are
1) Remove drive
2) Replace gfx card
3) Redownload client


It's very simple to remove a computers hard drive, about 2-3 minutes work, I can walk you through it if you like.

edit: Here you are, this is a very clear video of a step-by-step guide to removing your hard drive.

double edit: If you do choose to remove the hard drive and take it to a friends computer, please ensure you bring the cable connecting the hard drive to the motherboard (there are two types, both are shown in the video above). Your friend may not have a spare one

i do this and use computer cafes but i live in korea.


i dont think they would mind if u deleted it after, you can even RUN it from the usb stick as long as you re-install DirectX in the game main folder.


your welcome.
