To all of you guys who did step in and try to help, thanks a million. After my last run in with client issues and openGl errors I bought another computer, and had the same problem. Now I'm buying another one and picking it up tomorrow. Before I rip my hair out trying to make DW work I want to post the specs and get a thumbs up and a green light. Anyways, heres the specs. The question is "will it work?".

Will you be running XP or Vista? If Vista, 512meg is not much... JL ......................... vet marshal deathrceL1 wv community combatL1 Posted Feb 27, 2009, 1:54 am

I figure I'm getting a higher end computer I might as well beef it up as much as possible(it's high end compared to 1.1GHz and a old graphics card). Yea I'v always had really bad luck with DW, I played for about a year on the first account I ever had. Then I had to sell my computer. Once I got another one, it was just problem after problem. I'm hoping this computer will be the end of all epic fail  The last time I played DW was 3 computers ago. I'd absolutely sh** my pants if it runs on this computer I'm getting. ......................... wv Posted Feb 27, 2009, 2:24 am Last edited Feb 27, 2009, 2:29 am by Cassidy

Sorry, I can't buy your Nvidia, I  have no spare cash.  ......................... wv Posted Feb 27, 2009, 7:36 pm Last edited Feb 27, 2009, 7:37 pm by Cassidy
