Perhaps no one has done their test in the past five years.

412968 2005-12-15 07:58:00 Did you mean you ran this test (safety.live.com)? Jen (38)
412969 2005-12-15 08:09:00 Whoops. The scanner doesn’t work with your Web browser or operating system.

You need Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000 Server to use the scanner. You also need either Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, or MSN® 9.0.

Hahaha. As if I'd allow them access to my PC anyway....

I can't view that URL. I get this message: Internet Explorer 6 required

Windows XP Game Advisor requires the use of the Windows 98/ME/2000/XP operating system and the Internet Explorer 6 browser.

How come you said the test was on the Microsoft.com website then?

412973 2005-12-15 08:20:00 Well that site doesnt know the diff between AMD and P4, 128 or 256 mb video ram, an ATI or Nvidia videocard, 32 or 64 bit, or the amount of space left on a hdd lol.

It says I've got 40gb left, I've got over 140gb spare.

The only thing that it got right is XP, and the amount of ram.

It shows exactly the same as what Jack just posted in his link lol

Its most probably a jpeg or whatever thats linked to that site, why my results are the same as Jacks

Works OK for me . It' a MS site so it probably won't work with Firefox or whatever . Just IE
