Alas - all is lost for me
guess I never mentioned I'm on a laptop - the geek squad guy almost laughed at me (been in there 3 days in a row) and told me if I had mentioned that then nobody would have suggested I upgrade because I can't on a laptop - I sure don't know anything about computers! so who knows when I'll be abl to swing my sword again... it's really kinda sad - I sent them a long email quoting all the places on their website that said they were gearing it for slower/older type computers - and asking why they keep making the requirements more stringent (I do understand why they have to but I was playing devil's advocate) - the orginal requirements they sent in their first email to me were much, much lower - the ones on the game website have been updated to show recommended requirements now - it's just a shame that people like me, who want to play won't be able to unless they do something on their end. Oh well, thanks for trying to help JoG - do appreciate it!
