Hi, I recently got Halo: Combat Evolved at a used video game store (Even though it's a 10 year old game, it's still pretty fun =P) and installed it on my laptop. It says the minimum requirements are: - Operating System: Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Second Edition, Microsoft Windows...

Apparently the PC system requirements will be the same if not less than what's needed to run Windows 7, Vole has been telling the world+dog. Current PC owners won't need to upgrade and Windows 8 will run legacy Windows 7 software. Source: Yahoo! News

As you all know, Microsoft is hard at work making sure Windows 8 runs well on tablets, including a completely new, Windows Phone 7-like Metro user interface. Another similarity between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7, apparently, is that Microsoft will be controlling the hardware experience rather...

Greetings! I recently purchased Bulletstorm, and received it last night, installed it, played it, no problem. Untill I was playing for about 2 hours. The graphics got stuck, but the sound kept going. I did Ctrl-Alt-Del and click run taskmanager, it went to the desktop, and said Bulletstorm was...

I am still quite puzzled as to how are you supposed to install the Windows 7 OS without an actual CD? I've only done it previously with XP home edition and I had a CD so this is new to me and would appreciate some clarification. If you still do not understand what I mean, I'm confused on how...

Hi, I'm new to this so please bear with me. I've been sucessfully playing flight sim x on windows 7 for a few days now. Since I was so anxious to start playing the missions, I didn't installed the service packs yet either, but it seems to work fine, with the exception of random crashes...

If I wanted to upgrade to Ultimate from Home Premium what do I need to do. Thanks

Hi, i have an Acer Aspire 2930Z laptop, it came with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M. I'm looking for a Windows 7 driver for that graphics card. In Acer's site there are Windows 7 drivers for this computer, including the graphics card driver, but i don't think it's the right one (I...

If anyone is considering Windows 7 with Virtual XP being a requirement, make sure that your processor is capable. The processor (Intel) must be VT Technology qualified. There is a similar feature necessary for AMD processors ........ I think it is called something like "V spec" or such. In...

Hello all. I have just installed Windows 7 for the third time. And each time I have had the same problem. It runs along fine then suddenly I'll get a blank white screen and the system seem's to have frozen. It can also be blue and white stripes or white with grey lines. Is this a known bug and...
