If you never worked with a PC and you just try to get it to work normally you do get errors and that is coursed by the system that is bad designed. And your lack off knowlidge. But you should be able to play a game with out computerknowledge. I see my Mac and my NY as different systems. If I play a game, I don't want my nose pushed on the glass of the monitor and I just prefer a big screen (TV) on a bigger distance and a easy chair in stead of my deskchair. I also like games like Time-crises and Point Blank. They are no good for PC. And it's great that a game looks the same on all systems in case of a console. A PC is so personal and it can look so different on different systems. > Nuff said :) Me too DEnnis..
