Sorry that got posted twice. IE gave me an error message both times, and I
wasn't sure if it made it the first time. Also, I went back and managed to
take a picture of the error and it gave me this line:
"*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x8883D6AC, 0x843E7890, 0x843E758C)"
Just would like to know what that means.
My Specs on the Vista PC:
Pentium 4 3Ghz HT Enabled
1Gb ram
Radeon 9700 Pro
50Gb HD space
Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer
