| 365995 | 2005-06-22 06:41:00 | i don't know the game but i suspect its a game problem. sometimes those minimum specs are just PR bull. i've got a game here that is lagy on mine even tho i'm over double the recomended specs, its just a crappy made game. you can always try tweaking the pc and try cutting out as many background services and progs as you can. it may help a bit. |

| 365998 | 2005-06-22 23:55:00 | I cannot answer your query but when you mention your dektop is chokka full then I suggest you follow the advice recently given to me. Right click - make a new shortcut. Make as many as you want - I made about 6 - then rename them, and finally drag umpteen of your existing icons into the new ones. My shortcut for "PHOTO STUFF" for instance holds about 6 and my UTILITY another 6 This has made my desktop which was hopelessly cluttered, neat, almost empty, tidy and well organised. I doubt if this will affect your game. It will improve life though. I don't know if things have improved but when I was semi retired I spent a lot of time helping people with computers and only charged $10/hour. As I generally made it a social occasion it often worked out at about $4/hour. But if the client had games on and had problems then I refused to help unless they removed the games. They could go to more qualified expensive help otherwise. My own personal belief is that games have no place on computers. Except Freecell of course. Since deciding not to play it any more I have played 1200 games. I need help. Tom |

| 365999 | 2005-06-22 23:58:00 | You made people remove their games? $4 an hour sounds about right for that level of help. |

My own personal belief is that games have no place on computers.Totally speechless at that statement. Each to their own opinions I guess. I will be honest, I feel sorry for your clients if you are inflecting your personal beliefs on what a computer should be used for upon them to their disadvantage. | Jen (38) | ||

| 366002 | 2005-06-23 00:33:00 | heh my clients pay me $70+ to install their kids games on. mind you i had to learn how to play barbie or mickey mouse, but hey i'd be silly to turn good money down. in any case icons on desktop don't slow games - i've tried that - definitely vid card or add more ram etc |

| 366003 | 2005-06-23 00:33:00 | what no games.......arrghhhhhh ! ! mind you i have done that myself, but only due to them only having 20meg free space and 10 gig of games they can only play at 10fps! I feel sorry for your clients if you are inflecting your personal beliefs on what a computer should be used for..... every one inflicts there personally beliefs onto someone elses pc even when it with good intentions. help desks do it all the time ..."you have to remove all those good tools which may help you solve the problem before we will help you solve the problem". ......o did i get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning......... |
