New Gamer... any game suggestions?

have you tried quitting through the game options? 2 other things you can try (but don't work for ALL games):
press the windows button
press alt+enter.
 
there's game options? Windows alt enter was exactly what I needed. TY again Joh ;)

Actually... is there a key combination to make the game window full screen again? clicking on the full-window icon doesn't seem to work once I've reduced it using windows-alt-enter?

Oh... never mind... alt-enter goes back and forth... thx... got it...

Esc doesn't get me out of the game for some reason... but alt-enter does the trick...

Ramomar... thx for the suggestions, I'll check them out ;)
 
Well... it doesn't 'always' get me where I expect to be...

My Computer WORKS!!!! I'm so frickin' excited that this thing came together without any issues. And it is Awesome... if all this thing ever does is play Dirt2 then it's money well spent. Good Lord this game plays well and look ridiculously good. Thanks You guys. I have some other questions about BIOS and stuff but I'll hold off. I may take a few pics and start a thread and thank everyone for helping me, as well as ask for some info.

Thx Again...

I got my copy of the original Mass Effect and have installed it twice but it won't open. It says it can't configure. Does it matter if my copy of the game came from the UK? The medal of Honor game I got came from Australia and I haven't had any trouble with it. I don't see anything on the MOH disc though that distinguishes it as Australian, whereas the UK disk does include the UK initials in its serial number.

Am I hosed? (I think I spent $15 on it) or should there be something I can download?

P.S. Anybody want to tell me where I can get a Grappling Hook in Batman Arkham?

Thx for any help,

It may be a regional issue, though I'm not sure if it's the same for computer games. I bought a copy of Marvel VS. Capcom 2 off Ebay and didn't realize it was PAL, North American PS2's only read NTSC format so I got screwed. I can't even take it to a used game store and it's worthless now that you can download it off Xbox Live Arcade so it's no longer a rare game. Pays to read the fine print on Ebay auctions. Sorry about the rant. Have a look at the back of the case, should tell you about the region somewhere. And sorry I've never played Batman, so I can't help you there.
 
JL... Thanks for all the feedback. I wish I had someone around, in person, who knew anything about any of this. I did take a look at the back of Mass Effect and though I didn't notice anything about Regions, It does mention the need for an internet connection. I haven't hooked the wireless up to the new computer yet, so I guess I'll take another shot with the game and see where I stand after that.

Once I get the wireless hooked up I guess I ought to also download Avast, Realtemp, and Smartdoctor...

Thanks Again,
-Bill
 
I think it's Lynksis... but I won't try to game via wireless, the router and my card (usb) are way to slow for it... I'll try it though next month when I'm home alone and can plug straight into the ethernet. It'd be interesting to get a look at online gaming. I have Dirt2 which has online play... would be cool to check out.

Thx JL,
-Bill
 
JL... when I installed the router it had a pretty uncomplicated set of prompts to set up a password to the router. If having a password satisfies the situation you're talking about then I'm actually good on that. I hadn't seen "WEP" before, to know if I had one or not.

Joh... In Batman I'm able to grapple from Gargoyle to Gargoyle, but I haven't yet figured out how to open a vent when its up the wall as opposed to the first few that were on the ground. In the first challenge that has the elevated escape vent, I know there is an area of the room that Batman mentions he should search once the challenge is passed (the challenge is taking out 3 armed guards, then three more). I'm guessing if I search around I'll find something that lets me get up to that vent and open it.

Thx You guys, I appreciate the info.
