Last time I ordered DDR from Hong-Kong, I nearly forgot about the order, when I got a little note from postman... I came to the post office and ...et voila: my DDR... So after all I was happy twice, when ordering it, and when really getting it... now I see the one month of waiting as funny two seconds... first second full impatience (as I am very impatient myself), the second one as time of oblivion and sweet forgetfulness (as I may forget easily as well)...

Hey, in the email should be ETA, right? check it... I believe it should be less then a week... so no worries

Well the email said, 3 to 5 days, but usually I get things in about 2 to 3 days, but that was when they had the items in on a Thursday, as this was sent probably this morning (Monday) I don't expect it until Wednesday or Thursday, but I can live with that

I just hope that I don't get "display driver has stopped working" error, as I get that with alot of my games, I have a GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB card, and for some reason those cards seem to dish this error out alot, I also run Vista 64-Bit (love it) but I read somewhere that Vista Areo can be the cause so I am now testing out alot of my games with that feature off.....so fingers crossed lol

Nice that when you totally forget about something thats coming your way and then one day you get a package and wonder what the hell it is and then as you open it your eagerness to play it is increased ten-fold

Vista 64x is tricky O-system, but well, KB is known to run on such OS, so no worries. By buying collectors (boxed) version, you get direct 1C Company support, if needed, also there are now patches available... so I am quite optimistic

I feel confident more now that Kings Bounty will be ok to, I have spent the last few hours testing games out with the Vista Aero feature off and the driver has stopped responding error seems to have gone, so maybe it was that feature of Vista that is to blame and not the graphics card drivers (as many people on different tech sites have said).....looks that way anyhow.

Do you have the game yet Gatts? I only asked as you said in your last post "I'm quite optimistic" but maybe you meant that for my situation? lol

I got back into playing Heroes of Might and Magic V and the expansions in the meantime and have got right back into it, never actually finished it all, and probably never will, but they are great games and so I am getting in the mood for Kings Bounty The Legend, nice foretaste for whats to come I hope!!

Yep - I do have the game... but downloaded version (I would die from waiting for boxed version in my country, and I see it too expensive to buy it from US - which was the only option at the game release)

But I do have Windows XP... so I have no experience with Vista of my own...

BTW - I have uploaded on this forum a PDF sheet on "how to tune Vista"... let me search for it, and I will put here the link
