Damnit. I really hate computers.
I just bought Sim City 4. I have the requirements.
I installed the game and then clicked on the icon. CD started spinning, little "waiting" curser came up. Then it stopped. Nothing.
What. The. Fuck?
Oh, and I should mention that I called Wal-Mart (where I got it) and they "don't take back open merchandise, sorry".
What. The. Fuck?
I haven't bought a computer game in about a year. THIS is why.
The problem could be that the dumbass who makes my computers keeps using SIS video cards, which are VERY incompatable with everything...

I called our "Computer Guy" and he said "Yeah, I figured this would happen at some point. I knew you'd want a new one when I gave you yours. So I figured I'd just buy yours back when you wanted a new one."
My question is... "WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU GIVE ME THE GOOD ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE, ASSHOLE!?!?"
So, now I have to wait for a new one. He's going to order it on monday, and should get it by tuesday. If I don't hear from him by wednesday, I'm supposed to call him and remind him.

If you have an SIS video card, you might as well use it as a sharp-edged tool to kill whoever sold it to you.

yay! I found out what I have (which doesn't even matter, because I don't play video games)
but, it's ATI Rage Mobility 128 (English)
ummmm...I bet that sucks.
