I think I might just need to upgrade my cheapo 5.1 C-Media generic sound card.

I totally agree. For $99 (On Sale!) You can get the Best X-FI Soundblaster made.

[ QUOTE ]
yes I know I need to get a video card!

[/ QUOTE ]
Then by all means... GET one!

Stop fooling around and face the facts: Get a new (real) video card(sm). 'Knowing' you need a new card is not the answer. Getting one... is. Hit www.Newegg.com and make it happen. Your new card is only a couple of clicks away.

They're typing up a bunch of new Geigo scripts as we speak.

"Thank you for trying your Free, 30-Day Evaluation copy of MYLITTLEPONYSQL. As of May 9th, your trial-version will need the Purchase of a Corporate Key to continue its operation uninterrupted."

The 'wrong version' client message has nothing to do with you running Vista.

But, but tonight is Tuesday.
Oh, wait! A Stan and Lou time-travel episode. I get it now:

<<<<<<<<<< ZAP! >>>>>>>>>>

Lou: "Don't touch the machine, Stan."
Stan: "But what is this device, Lou? And why does it 'hummm' like that?"
Lou: "That, Stan, is a prototype time-travel machine. I wrestled it away from the Rocketeers we recently fought. I know it's not a giant machine and because of that... it can only go back in time ten seconds."
Stan: "How, Lou... by pushing this button right here??"

LOL!!! Good one, Hewey. You win an Internets!

And yes, I have not found ANY cheap, on-board PC video chipsets worthy of true, real-time 3D performance in Co*... EVER. So the twitching continues there, too, till Players who are stuck with them and complain about their video slide-shows... wake up, bypass them and get real video-cards for good.

With apologies to my aunt, here is Stan and Lou on Talos Island.

Stan and Lou should bug that.

You aren't supposed to have ambushes in Hazard zones

[/ QUOTE ]

Really? Someone should tell them that in the Hollows because I have seen ambushes there.

Right. Come up with yet-another reason to discourage full-sized teams in this game. Co* has too many of those oversized PuGs now as it is.

You kidding? I think getting ANYthing approved by Positron these days is a milestone in itself!

That's the only part of the skit I didn't readily get.

Of course you can upgrade it. Dell is good about making hardware upgrades and exchanges, especially in the XPS series.

You will probably need to buy upgrade to a real 3D video graphics card. A 7300LE doesn't cut it for true graphic-game performance. Go with a 7600 or higher model.

Do you log into your Windows as an Admin?

The problem ultimately stems from playing a WinXP coded-game.. .in a WinVista world. You should see the difficulty $ony had with EQ1 when Windows2000 first came out. ABSOLUTELY... TOTALLY unplayable till they rewrote the EQ Client code so it properly interfaced with the WinNT environment, four to six months later.

At least in this case... one can easily play Co* with the adding of the proper video-drivers and command-line switches.

And still no 2-hour 'Movie' to be found anywhere in existence. Not at Theaters... Shopping Malls... WebSites... DVDs... YouToob... or 'Late Night with Conan.' It was all a bogus project to begin with. I win an Internets.
