My proposed PC Specifications...

You know - after looking at what was happening directly after where I was crashing - I think it was actually the connection to the internet that was the problem? because it's the registration window that comes up next. I haven't connected up the internet to it yet. I thought I'd install things sans internet and sans anti-virus.

Hope so

That's fantastic news.

Nope no sun here in the US, sorry

And now the Graphics Card works! Yay! I'm where I wanted to be a week ago!

Too late to play Sims on my holiday break - that'll have to wait now until mid-July for serious playing. But I'll be able to play Sundays

That is awesome - and it will be great if Honeywell can use her spiffy graphics card as well now. Thank you for not giving up

Shame about the holiday though

At least you had time to sort it out, enjoy!

Not really Lee - I had good time really! I played with my cats, I washed my curtains and cushion covers, and discovered I needed a new vacuum cleaner, I washed all my clothes, and cleared off my desk so that I can actually see what I'm doing now!

And it was actually fun sorting out the graphics cards problem. For the first time I felt like I was using my programming brain to sort out a problem for me!

That's great, Kiri! Congrats!

I love my cats too
