Cool...now you need to see how many of those minimum specs your system meets.

Learn to navigate the control panel "system" area (as per my previous post) and find out more about your machine, or download the free version of Sisoft Sandra.

http://www.sisoftware.net/index.html?dir=dload&location=sware_dl_3264&langx=en&a=

Run some of the modules to tell you about your system. Then, upgrade accordingly.

Okay - I tried - I bought the GE Force card things - tried to insert it couldn't.

I took my CPU (computer) to Techno mart - they charged me to install and download the drivers etc - then I went back home -

the game still doesn't work - but not only that -

I also lost my 5-speaker surround sound sound from my computer - now even with the volume turned up full blast - it just sounds like a tiny faint whisper coming from the (one) centre speaker - so

after trying and trying and spending lots money - my computer is worse off than what it was before.....

Can't even listen to music anymore

Details!

What do you mean by "it won't play"? What does it do?

You plugged the speaker cables into the correct jacks?

Yep - its all plugged in correctly -

...this is what I was afraid of - trying to do something myself...

then spending more money - paying korean computer experts to do it for me...


then discovering in the end that my computer is worse of than what it was in the first place.....

Damn!!!

Take a deep breath, explain what you did. Hysterics don't help at this point, they'll only make the matter worse.

I guess the latter part of your signature is true.....

Really, you are no worse off than if you had a Korean do it (right) the first time.

We need to know what you mean by "it doesn't work".

Sorry if we coaxed you into doing it yourself when you really couldn't. Installing a graphics card is a piece of cake, but daunting perhaps to the novice user.

May I ask, why are you using a Korean OS? This, coupled with a general lack of experience makes things near impossible. Whatever instructions we give, it's near impossible for you to follow them.....

Please post all of the gory details....

Go back the the place I led you to in my earlier post....any exclamation marks in the device manager?
