A lot of recent games detect your computer’s hardware in order to determine the highest video quality your pc can handle. Before I fixed my drivers, Fallout 3 kept crashing when auto detecting my hardware, or it would leave the fields blank and refuse to run. Once it was fixed, it auto detected my hardware. Then it said:

Your video settings have been set for Ultra High Quality

Which means, my pc can beat up your pc. Or at least it can handle whatever Fallout 3 dishes out. It’s nice to be told, especially nice when I consider how little I spent building this system. It also runs Prototype beautifully.

Just felt like bragging,

Anyone regularly reading my posts on twitter (still not comfortable with ‘tweets’ instead of ‘posts’ for some reason) might have noticed two odd ones back to back:

I take back every nice thing I said about Windows 7. My ATI drivers won’t install, so I can’t play Fallout 3. Dealbreaker, back to XP.

And later:

I take back everything bad I said about Windows 7. Got Fallout 3 working after all, a driver issue, which I suspected, VERY hard to fix.
