Depending on where you live, £18/$30 will get you an official xbox 360 wired controller for windows with 8 - 10ft of cable, easily enough for pc gaming, considering my last 2 controllers didnt have 10ft between them

If anything just buy a better video card.

I wouldn't have enough balls to even try running crysis&UT3 on 8400GS

Shegevara

i have an 8300 gs (dont ask why) and both games run fine on low, with some medium at 20+ fps

documents is either start-documents

or

c:users:"your name"

i can run gow and other dvd games on vista no problem

it could be that your using a Cd drive?

your dvd drive isnt fast enough, ie. 8x instead of 16x?

also, if you go on to your computer, search through the dvd drive and look for the autorun file, right click - properties and try to find an option to run it in a previous version of windows, ie. XP sp2, and run as administrator

if not then i dont no

just searched the chillstream, looks exactly like the xbox game pad, except its logitech obviously

also it does make sense, windows --> microsoft, xbox --> microsoft, so the controllers should work

although only the wired ones, the wireless i tihnk you need an adapter which brings it to about £30, hmv i think its off

ive got this and its absolutely quality, quick delivery and runs all my games, wire is long enough to sit almost anywhere and play and doesnt get in the way, installed straight away (on vista) and comes with an instillation disc if it doesnt auto install

ok i must be doing something wrong, ive reinstalled it (once again not asked for product key), installed patch and the game crashes about 5 second ter startup

im going to go whinge to microsoft

yes i no that but when i go on display settings i cant see the option it says i should be seeing which is why im asking for the help, cos its not there and i wana no y, either im looking in the rong place or its named summat else :S

just to confirm im doing this right
i click ont he desktop, display properties/settings, i then get the pop up window and i have one tab labelled monitor and identify monitors and advanced settings are my only options
i dont see an 'enable output monitor of card' option or anything remotely related to that

*bump*

anyone no a solution to the screenie above, please, i cant remember how to do it, damn vista!!

ok this is wierd, ive looked in my case and there is a prodcut key given

am i installing it wrong because i never got asked for it durin installation

also question before on will the gigabyte fit in my case?
