I meant that would be how you could find out what graphic card, sound card and etc you had.

What kind of "dumping" is this? Walk us through the process of being denied the pleasures of this game with a bit more detail.

Just an FYI from a person who's had some training in archival and restoration techniques: there is no such thing as non-abrasive tissue paper. The wood pulp used in common tissue paper is very abrasive on a microscopic level. I'm not sure about how damaging such scratches actually are on a DVD/CD, or if such scratches are damaging at all - I think it takes quite a lot of diffraction to cause skipping. But to avoid scratches altogether it's best to use 100% cotton with no impurities (cotton wool balls are good, but they must be 100% cotton).

I just thought it might be good to share the small amount of knowledge I have on this issue, since we gamers use these CDs/DVDs a lot.

Very true- the worst thing to use on ANY optical item (Even your eyeglasses) is Paper of ANY sort.

Err, beg to differ...There is a thing called 'Lens Paper', which is actually used for polishing microscope lenses. I got a stack of those from a former girlfriend, who worked in laboratory.

That said, I wouldn't know where to get any now :-?

Lens Paper is mostly made from cotton or linen fibers, sometimes wood pulp. Ask at your local optics store or Optician, normally they can provide you with that. We always had that stuff in stock for our customers, 50 sheets cost roughly $1.

However, we used to clean our optical equipment with those 100% cotton rags, cheaper in the long run. :D

If it doesn't load up it is most likely your graphics card is not capable. You need to tell us the specs of your graphics

He said that his computer shows that he has 992 MB of RAM. This indicates that he most likely has an 'onboard' :roll: video card, which allocates and uses system ram for it's video ram.

1024 MB minus 992 MB = 32 MB...... 32 MB of Video RAM.

Video Card Requirement for SHIII: DX9 Compliant with at least 64 MB of Video RAM.

Like others have guessed, I too am going to guess that his video card is incompatible.

I know that Kapitain plays Dangerous Waters.

Video Card Requirement for Dangerous Waters: DX9 Compliant Video Card with at least 32 MB of Video RAM.

OTS, that is an absolutely TREMENDOUS catch! :up:

The Celeron is a bit of a tip off as well. Not too many people use Celerons for gaming, so they tend to have the on board video......

Hey thanks Von Scheerbach. :) It just goes to show what a computer geek I am. Err, I mean computer guru... yeah, that's it, that must be it... I'm a guru, not a geek! :lol:
