    Anyone play 'Superpower 2' on Windows 7?

    I just bought this game and it won't let me run the game on Win 7 :'( Windows compatibility mode won't solve anything. Does anyone play this on Win 7 and if so how did you get the damn thing to work? Cheers.

    What would you upgrade?

    One of my savings policies has finally come through and turned out better than I was expecting and so I have a few quid to spare. Just wondering what I should upgrade on my system? (My specs are in my sig :) )

    Small Business Idea

    Sadly I think Tanker is right, I've looked into this several times wishing it to work...but the maths never really added up :( With regards to parts selling, you could try and convince wholesalers to sell you parts really cheaply. I've managed to do it before a couple of times but I ran out of...

    Pc help

    Is the CPU Cooler attached properly? They can get loose after a while and the cpu cooler paste can basically melt away. Might be worth checking that out.

    PSU to Motherboard connection issue.

    Ah of course! I feel so stupid now lol :P I realise now why it confused me because the ATX_12V connector from the PSU was had 2 X 4 pin connectors and I thought they were for the graphics card. Maybe they are, but the graphics card Im using has 2 X 6pin connectors so some molar converters...

    PSU to Motherboard connection issue.

    The 4 Pin one literally doesn't fit. Both the PSU and Motherboard have "fool-proof" connections, and they're the complete opposite :/

    SCAN.CO.UK - Buyers beware, credit card issue

    Damn! They're not even going to refund me for the delivery costs to Scan! The cheek! This is ridiculous, I sent them an email asking about this and apparently its common knowledge that an order will still go through even if VBV (credit card check password thing) doesn't work!! Looks like I'm...

    SCAN.CO.UK - Buyers beware, credit card issue

    Yeah, annoying. Thankfully the customer service is pretty good at Scan and they've sorted our the courier to come pick up the 3 massive boxes of PC parts. Shame they had to charge for them :(

    SCAN.CO.UK - Buyers beware, credit card issue

    The other day I went to order some PC parts for the parents using their credit card and three times I entered an incorrect password on the card verification part that usually pops up. The next day three boxes arrived from scan with each with exactly the same hardware ;P Clearly, there is...
