machine - the laptop has a new dedicated graphic card - the other has a
EN9800GT a directX 9 card with DX10 compatability.
Virus Software to use is Eset Nod32 or AVG Personal(FREE EDITION)not the
buyable version.
You must also use the windows Firewall - but there is a free front end
for called VistaFirewallControl.
The issue is caused by the lack of DirectX Play in DX10 because MS went
over to different protocols and forgot about backward compatability.
Have fun.
