Hi Guys,

I recently bought a pc from trademe, looked good in the add, dual core stacks of ram & a pretty sweet GPU, and a great price.

So I got it home and thought well, lets install some stuff on it ... I started with updating the video drivers (NVidia 9400GT) it dls alright but as it extracts it crashes, internal error something.

Next I try to install some games on it, I have a hacked (dont hate me for it - I owned a legit copy on xbox 360) copy of left 4 dead that I was looking forward to installing, now I know the copy is good as I had it on another PC, but it doesnt extract properly on the new system ...

Heres the specs/deets

HP6040a
Windows 7 32bit (Vista upgrade - is this perhaps the problem ?)

The whole system works ok for browsin the net but I bought it to game a bit on, and if its unstable or uninstallable on I dont want it!

There are other problems as well but not major at this stage :)

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem ?

Cheers
