These are some of the system information specs. that I saved after running DxDiag. What I would like to know is if any of you have a suggestion for a good compatible, and maybe not to expensive graphics card.

Thank you in advance.

it is a desktop, thank you for any additional help!

I have a new 19′ LCD monitor that requires 1440 X 900 resolution. I downloaded what I think is the newest driver update for my S3 Unichrome from the S3 website. I still cannot change my resolution.
Please help me in “simple” terms. I have spent hours on websites reading forums in a tech language I don’t understand.

Thanks in advance.

I just bought this game for my daughter but it won’t play and therefore I

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. When I put the Cd in, I get the dialog box asking what to do with the cd..there are no options for download? There are copy, burn, blah blah….I am not too great with all this computer stuff…HELP!

Yes I know I need to “install it” but the windows dialog box does not give me that option. It only gives me..Play, Burn, etc…

I’m looking at buying a laptop for my A level subjects coursework(ICT,Computing,RE,Business and Geography) and to be able to do lots of other things such as run the Sims 2 and Open for Business,my Nike thing,Itunes etc,Maybe movies etc

I prefer HP as I have an old HP laptop and a HP desktop but I don’t mind looking at sony or tobisha.

I looked around and the HP Pavilion dv9885ea (KU177EA) looked good.
