Ok, I'm trying to pick a few games for PC for my upcoming B-day but I don't know if they'll run. A long time agoI found a site that would look at my computer stats and look at the game I chose reqs without me doing any of the hard work. Anyone know anything about this?

How about Game Advisor (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/games/gameadvisor/default.mspx) of Microsoft ?

Hmm well that SHOULD work but unfortunately the "start" button won't work. Any other links?

I've seen this a while ago. Never used it though (I just did a search).

Well the "Start..." clicky will take you to another website. When that website is opened, look for "Scan My System" downwards at the left panel. As soon as you click it you'll be shown a progress bar of scan completion, and at some point a dialog box will ask for your permission to load an ActiveX control on your PC, required to run the scanning utility. If you register a free account there, your system scan results will be saved and when you browse a game in the database, you'll be able to see if your system meets the minimum requirements of the game graphically.

Good luck ~:)

Unfortunately the thing requires Internet Exploder 6 or better. :no:

Probably have a better shot at an answer in either the Arena or the Hard- and Software Forum.
