I'd say; Hava a go at some AKG's or Beyers.
But then I don't like the sound of most sennheisers.
AT has some decent headphones but they are pricy for what you get. Same really goes for sennheiser too. I've had some expensive sennheisers throughout the years and I a very, very happy with my 125 dollar AKG 141 now

This popped up all of a sudden, and pops up every time I restart my laptop and changes my background image. Those ****ers are on to me. Has this happened to anyone before and does anyone know a way around this?

Hai gais!

I need help.

I'm having trouble installing some games, I have Win7, 1.8Ghz and a 32bit system. So Sims 3 is 2.2Ghz and is running really well but Fallout 3 is 2.4Ghz and I'm wondering if that's just too much. It's installed, and when I go to run it a box comes up saying it couldn't work. There is speculation on the net that it's Windows 7 where you can reinstall your OS, load the latest drivers and get the patch for it. But I have the patch, updated drivers but don't want to redo my OS. Any ideas?

Reinstalling the OS shouldn't really make a difference unless the previous installation didn't work. I had a look around, it seems to be a general problem for Windows 7 rather than just 32-bit, which does narrow down the range of problems somewhat. Have you tried running the game in Vista Compatibility Mode (Properties>Compatibility>Run This program for Vista service pack 2, or whatever it says there) Might also help to run it as admin as sometimes games can be weird about that.

There also seems to be some speculation about Windows 7's "power", and it not being able to run it, which doesn't really make sense to me. However, someone did say that integrated graphics cards would probably fail to be able to run it. Is that the case with your laptop, if you are attempting to play this on a laptop?

Fallout 3 is pretty CPU and GPU intensive. Usually, with games like that (FPS type games that rely on a baseline of consistent and heavy processing), if your computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements, then they basically prevent you from playing it because the game will essentially be unplayable anyway. (Although they should be checking this during instalation) If this is the case, then there's nothing you can do about it, short of upgrading the actual hardware that's causing the limitation.

Just to be thorough, what did the box say, exactly?

Fallout 3 PC System Requirements Released - Shacknews.com

That link has the exact requirements for it.




Also, Vanilla you can use this link in the future to see if you can run certain games ahead of time.

I used it to find out if my old laptop could run Sims 3 and it wasn't able to.
Can You Run It?

I was referring to the error message she got. I was wondering if it was a Windows error message, or something from Fallout.

It definitely said Fallout has stopped working. Erm, I think I'm going to take the game back, as I'm just on a laptop which is already upgraded to its max. Laptops aren't really meant for games.

Thanks hun for the advice. xxx

Laptops aren't meant for games unless you buy a gaming laptop but those are super expensive
