Games? On a laptop? Laptops aren't designed for it. Grandkids? Stuff them, its YOUR computer, send them home to mess up their own computer. Grandkids are responsible for 99% of the problems I see on grandparents PCs. Have no mercy. OK, why didn't you buy an XP laptop - theres tons of them around you know. I've sold loads - and only 1 Vista one. Take it back, tell the shop its not suitable for the purpose, get another XP laptop.	pctek (84)
683201	2008-06-28 07:36:00	ok i thought as much.. vista has so much running and i have been too darn tired to sort thru start up... the games i tried was theatre of war demo call of duty 4 demo etc i dunno about you but i am a bit soft about saying no to grandkids .. but anyway looks like they wont get on it too often.. it does p... me a bit tho.. it seems to have trouble installing stuff from DVD's too	hammer (1735)
