I have been playing Roller coaster tycoon 3 gold on my vista computer several times with no problem now I get a "Your graphics hardware or driver do not meet the minimum requirements to run this application" message when I try to play it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it with no luck. It can't be the graphics card I have played the game already right? Why in the world will it all the sudden would I have a problem. Thanks

I had my computer either 2001, 2002,2003,or 2004. First, I used it for internet, desktop needs. But now I have alot of freetime, so I use it for gaming. But since my video card is very bad, I can handle very little games, so my enjoyment is limited. I currtenly play Call of Duty for PC all on low, Counter-Strike: Source on the low detailed maps, (All on Medium).

So, I need a new graphics card. But since my Computer is pretty darn old, won't that mean I need to get a 6000 series Geforce? Because, I'm not sure if my Computer can able to handle a 8800 GTS Geforce. Its too... Modern..

While my old computer.. Isn't too modern... So will that mean I'll just use a more lower-end graphics card, like a NVIDIA 5000 or whatever?

I have 3 questions on core duo 2:

1. Can I change my pentium 4 to core duo 2 ?

2. Do I have to get another PC to get the core duo 2 or can I just replace the processor?

3. How much will the processor cost to change?

I have had a new processor put in lately and ever since then my nVIDIA Geforce FX 5200 Graphics card isn't starting!
When ever i went to play a new game e.g Cricket 2007 and Roller coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum edition it didn't start and the mouse pointer just goes to the to the top left hand corner and nothing happens!
I Went into Device Manager and it had a yellow exclamation mark next to the name of my driver, so i looked in properties and it said it couldn't start.

Some other person said that it might be the graphics card in the processor conflicting with it and i would need to go into my BIOS setup! If so, how would i do this?

My uncle (who knows a friend at some discounted electronics place) sent me a webcam recently in bubble wrap. It came with no software, and i can't find the model name/number. My computer detects the device, but I don't know where to find a driver/software thing for it. Is it possible to get it to work?

I'm having a tough time deciding between VisionTek Radeon X1050 256MB HD Video Card and the eVGA e-GeForce 8500GT 256MB PCI-Express Card. I don't know which would be better for gaming.

I am building a computer for basically internet use, no gaming. It is reasonably high end in components but not sure at what point getting a better video card is a waste. Since it is not for gaming would a cheap card work just as well as a high end graphics, 3D, gaming card? You know the old saying, it is only as fast as the slowest component. Don't want to waste money but don't want any bottle neck also. I have PCI Express slots and would use that for the video card.

It might sound like a bit much to have two pointers running around the screen but for making Cad drawings I wonder if it would become faster than a motion controller. I like a rollerball in my right hand. I've never used a motion controller but I'm thinking that a left hand rollerball could have more advantages for someone who can learn to juggle.

I accidentally pulled the fire from my headset and they hit the ground. Now, the right speaker barely works and something broke loose inside and is making noise when I move it.

If I take them back and tell them I didn't drop it will they replace it?
