Frankly I am losing my rag at Windows 7. There's so many games that I'm struggling to install and what's worse is I only have a 32bit system and 1.8Ghz so I think it's not just Windows 7.

that's your problem actually depending on the games you are trying to install especially if it's not a dual core processor.

Well 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?

No, you shouldn't have to redo your OS but I'm not sure what you could do to get it to work. I think 2.4Ghz might be a bit too much but re-post this in the computer thread and see if maybe s_k or freebase might have some ideas.

Quite a day!

Had rehearsal way out in the county today. Of course, while I was there it started raining, so I had to drive on a curvy, two lane highway all the way back home, and couldn't see the yellow line the entire time. I feared for my life.

Now, I'm off to go drink with some friends.

Oh, and at rehearsal, I ran into a girl I went to college with, who owns the theatre we're performing in. Wild.
