    Hey,

    I know nothing about computer specs but was reccomended on this forum to buy a Acer Travelmate 2420. I was told that it would be able to play low spec games (someone even suggested it might even play The Movies) but it won't play anything unless it is text based. I have been playing MDickie's Hard Time on my desktop (which I have to use for games) but now its got a problem with the motherboard and won't work and am just wondering if theres anything I can do to get it to work on my laptop?
