Vista - RE: Warcraft 3 problem

Yea um when i tried to register it. It said this
SiebelSearch - SOCKET ERROR: No connection could be made because the target
machine actively refused it

Whats all that mean? How do i fix it? I also figured out that it is my
graphics card that is over heating so can i buy a new one? Or where can i buy
one or a cpu cooler?

If it's your graphic card overheating in a laptop, then you'll have to log a
call with Acer and see what they'll do by way of the warranty. Normally they
will want you to provve to them it's the video card. But if nothign else,
they will pobably have you ship it to them, which could amount to a 2-3 week
wait. It's kinda hard to know those things.

Not much option on replacing a video card in a laptop. They are normally
pretty locked in.

Hi Dale can you help with this please?

Halo 2 for VISTA, cant get past the opening credits
Ditto with Halo1 combat evolved. When I reach the mission after the "silent
Cartographer, my screen freezes up, then it goes to black, then back to the
game..,… and the message appears: "Display driver stopped responding and has
recovered". Then another messages appears:
"Attempt to reset the display driver failed, windows will shut down so not
cause any damage".
Any ideas please, NVIDIA Geforce 8800Gts card, latest driver, brand new
computer.
Desperately disappointed, the computer was rated best buy for games.

Leave the line as is.
Check "Run this program as an administrator"
Click OK

Now run the setup program normally. Once the game is installed make sure you
patch the game to the current version (just click on Multiplayer, should
patch automatically if you are on the internet).

Note, you can do this with any game that has problems installing because
some developers don't know how to properly code installers to check Windows
versions.
