Empire Earth II and the Nvidia GForce 4200 Go…

Well, as I’ve extensively remarked, they replaced my video card – and now, Empire Earth II runs!

I bought the game about 2 weeks ago and was very disappointed to find out it crashed on startup.

The only online help was saying I had an unsupported video card, but that didn’t make sense.  And now the mystery is solved… it must have been the early signs of the video card dying.

So, awesome stuff!

Well, they didn’t come and pick it up.

They came and fixed it, despite the fact my warrenty didn’t have that feature.

It was a faulty video card apparently, and now my screen is actually clearer!

He also found a fault with the drive, so a new drive will also hopefully be posted out to me.

So, from call to resolution, 10 working hours, their only fault was that their phone support number wasn’t published, otherwise it could even have been fixed on monday.

So my sort lived experience with linux on my backup laptop is over before it really began. I’ll post my brief thoughts another time.
