    game error

    WarcraftIII used to run great on my machine (winXPpro, xp2100+, audigy, geforece4), but has been giving me an error for quite some time now (something about not being able to 'read' memory at some location), and I just now bought Vice City, and recieved an error referring to that same...

    games giving strange error....?

    A problem with Memtest86: It asks me to create a boot disk, and I don't have a floppy drive.

Suggestion on what to...

    games giving strange error....?

    I purchased Warcraft III when it first came out, and it worked beautifully on my system (xp2100+, geforce 4, audigy) but a few months ago, it started giving me this strange error when I tried to play it, and I never got around to trying to fix it. Yesterday I went and bought Vice City, installed...

    Okay, I've seen deals at EB, KB, and I just heard the one from WalMart about the free controller. Anyone happen to know the best/cheapest way to go for getting a gamecube now? I'm just about to break down and buy one, though I'd like to be as....economical as possible. I'd prefer a Platinum...

    LEADTEK WINFAST "DELUXE" TV2000XP TV/FM MULTIMEDIA CARD - RETAIL BOX (UPDATE: NOW $42.00 shipped!) @ Newegg!

    Okay, this might be a dumb question, but: can I connect my myriad of gaming consoles up to my computer and play them on my monitor with this card? I've been looking for a good card/tuner, and I hope this is it. My friend has some other tuner, though has had ugly problems with it. Time to blow...

    I built a nice rig this summer (2100+, WD 80gig SE, audigy, g4 4200, etc), and I have had not a single problem running *anything* on it...up until now. I've a game, Masters of Magic, and haven't ever been able to run it on any of my past machines. I've set it to run in windows95 mode, and the...
