I got a discount because I new someone at the store
I added a gig of ram at the same time.
Everything installed fine but the game froze everytime the opening video started. I renamed the video files and they dont play and the game runs fine. Every now and then the screen will be off center???
I have finished the first 4 exams. Its a real thrill!!!!
Thanks again bd
