Here I have this near top of the line computer with a 32 MB DDR RAM video card and a new 19" monitor. For the life of me, though, it refuses to work. DVD 1 flat out won't run. DVD 2 gets to the menu, which animates slower than one can ever imagine, and the video portion flat out won't run. Runs Windows 2000 and DirectX 8.1 on an AMD Athlon 1.33 GHz.
Did I ever mention that I really hate computers now? I know this hardware should work, because it works on my brother's computer, which is slower, has the same video card and monitor, and identical DVD drive. If anyone has had this problem and can help figure this shite out, I'd appreciate it.

And even though most of them had gone under, their ignorance had confused Roy, making him wonder whether the things he had striven to learn, and thought of as 'culture,' were irrelevant. Everything was supposed to be the same: commercials, Beethoven's late quartets, pop records, shopfronts, Freud, multi-coloured hair. Greatness, comparison, value, depth: gone, gone, gone. Anything could give some pleasure; he saw that. But not everything provided the sustenance of a deeper understanding." - Hanif Kureishi, Love in a Blue Time
