It sounds like the salesman is the one that is to blame on this one.

What game are you trying to play? And what are your computer specs.

Look on the box the game came in, or check out it's website to see what the
Hardware specs you need to run it.

Compare it with your computer's specs; then take the computer back to the
salesman, and tell him to shove it!

No doubt he sold you a pretty basic version.

With Games you need a Lot of Graphics and a lot of RAM.

Don't blame vista; blame the dodgy salesman.
And nobody gets paid to help you here.

We are all just users like you; so DON'T complain about us!
