-=PCTechTalk=- Re: software


Hello Ellie,
Hope with a bit more time you feel better because just a week past after
surgery is very short. You can always borrow my left hand because I'm left
handed and very bad in doing things with my right hand. -:)
I downloaded the new Simcity4 a while ago so maybe it came with that game.
I'm sure I did not have it before because I have this computer for 2 years
now and the video-card came with it. Nobody else touches this computer and I
never had it in the shop. In the control panel in the software file it's not
possible to delete it. I tried to click on the install/remove buttom but
nothing happens, it just stays there.
I'm not so good on the computer to do a reformat every 6 months, I wish I
was, but I think I would mess things up more if I would do that.
sylvia.
