10 years back i bought a pc and it came with a whole load of games most were pretty naff, but one in particular appealed to me immensly called recoil 'a technology game with a anti technology theme' was how it was once described does any one know if it ever had a sequeal like recoil 2 perhaps or if you know the game can you reccomend a similar game, I prefer the 1st person aspect type games any suggestions welcome Dev

Hi All Thanks to Plastic nev and dirty polo between both of you and following the suggestions it now works just great, thanks again guys. After Christmas holidays I am intending a revamp of the entire pc as its getting a bit 'old' now as is most things around here, me included. Dev

Hi I have been on the site you mention and downloaded the wireless LAN driver for stelite pro sp6100 1.6 14'' on xp it downloads ok and I can unzip it into I think 6 different icons, files or whatever but I can do nothing with them and there is no mention of them in device manager although the other drivers I downloaded are in the list. the lappy works fine with a cable into the wirless modem and the wireless switch is on.One other thing that I have just thought of is how can I tell if the machine is wireless capable or ready I am just taking it for granted cos the place I bought it from said it was but that was a while ago before broadband was widely available even let alone wireless. Dev ps maybe the best thing is to buy a dongle thingy

Hi all I have decided that a new sound card is a must, I thought I may as well get a set of speakers, nothing fancy just a pair of cheap ones, however I see that some speakers come with a usb plug will I need to get a card with a usb socket or do you use a free usb port on the pc or is it a case of getting speakers with normal jacks to suit the card. and where is a good mail order company that does not charge silly ammounts for postage Devlin

installing drivers Hi again As a final attempt before I buy a add in sound card I downloaded the drivers from MSI I also tried them from VIA but I get the same result, nothing. I sometimes get a repeated clicking from the headphones Am I installing them right when I unzip the folder I click on the set up icon sometimes it opens up sometimes it dosn't when it does it goes through the various stages of install. according the system information the device is working correctly but plainly that is not so. headphones are ok also when I check on the "test speakers" facility it locks up and I have close it down I hope you guts can throw some light on this as I am curious to know what went wrong Dev

Hello and thanks again, I think I will go down the road of a sound card. whats your veiws on the following I have a radeon 9250 vg card my pc has 512 mb memory, on the card details there is mention of 128 mb.. and this is where i get confused if a game requires say 128 mb does that mean the card must have that ammount or is that pc memory. hope I have explained it well enough Dev

Hi and thanks for the response I think maybe it's time to upgrade the whole pc, the on board sound gave trouble from the start and I thought as a short term solution I could use a sound card and think about a rebuild later Dev

Hi All Can I delete the sound drivers on my pc and use a card as I keep having to re-install drivers ac97 Dev

Hi all been busy at work and not been around for a few days any way Iam about to give up on this laptop as I cannot seem to get any where with it right now I suspect the fan, 3 wires red black brown 3volt I need to prove the fan one way or other any ides which wires are the supply and what would the third do, if the fan proves to be dud then I will replace it if not then I need to check for supply voltage on start up, should I remove the cpu for this as the voltage check could take some time given the size of the terminals and with a combination of three to check. any help or suggestions welcome Devlin
