i have successfully reinstalled certain programmes that have the yellow excliamation mark next to them in device manager, hooray. and may i ask what you mean by a restore, i never did re- install for the game as i fully rebooted the computer and wiped all of the files off. (sorry about the lack of information but im only 16, im learning steadily. lol)
the problems i am experiencing are just the game not playing as it notifies me, more like annoys me, about not having the required specification, telling me about not having a video card, which i know i have as ive played numerous games on my pc that have all worked. and also when the computer is turned on and i m desktop loads up, the installation for my printer come up, i try to install it b the wizard that notifies me but it says it was unsuccessfull.
that is all of the problems that i am aware of currently. also i dont know what a dual boot system is. and thankyou for your help and assistance at this point, i am very grateful.
Merry Christmas
