I have the Sims 2 Double Deluxe game, and also the Sims 2 University, and I plan on purchasing more of the expansion packs. I do know there are not many Laptops that can accommodate gaming. But I plan on buying a Laptop just for the use of it to play Sims.
Can anyone help me?
Please??

– Also, if anyone might know how to transfer Custom Content (for the game) from one computer to another? Would I use a disk? If so, what type of disk?

I’ve just graduated with a BSc Computing, calss 2:1 and have no idea what my expected salary should be.

I don’t want to end up getting paid less than I’m worth, and i don’t want to be too pushy and say something ridiculously high.

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks

Where can I find a Windows 7 driver for my Acer AspireOne webcam?

Tuesday 9 March 2010 @ 10:01 am
windows driver


I recently upgraded my little AspireOne to Windows 7 RC and I can’t find the icon for my webcam in “My Computer”. It is listed in the Devices folder but will not open for pictures. I tried to install the XP driver from Acer’s website but it is not compatible. I tried to use Windows Picture Gallery to take a picture with it but the program doesn’t see my webcam. What are my options?

Laptop_upgrade8.jpg”>Laptop_upgrade8.jpg” title=’Laptop upgrade’ alt=’Laptop upgrade’ />


I’m using a Dell 640m Laptop. These are its properties: Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2300 @ 1.66GHz 980MHz, 0.99GB of RAM. Its too slow and I want to upgrade it. My hard disk space at the moment is only 40GB and I want to upgrade it to at least 80 or more. What is the recommended upgrade for this Laptop? Do I need to change the motherboard if I upgrade the RAM and Hard disk space? Is it compatible?

For a few years now, I’ve had a padlock on my computer that I’ve kept locked at nights and I regularly wash the internet cables with Lysol. But people have told me that you constantly need to upgrade your security solutions, so can you offer me any advice?
