Hmmmm I'm not quite sure of the current exchange rates but your current computer would ring in at about $300-$500 Australian dollars, depending on the type of CPU (processor) you have. To do a basic upgrade (average everything) would set you back about $400, and that only needs to be done once every 2 years if your not fussy (unlike
moi!)
Hey don't worry - i started out with a measly Pentium I 166Mhz, 24Mb RAM and 2.5 Gig HD!!! Now that I have a proper job I'm ahead of the rest (Pentium IV, 1Gig RAM, 200 Gig HD, ATI Radeon 9800 3D card etc. etc.!).
About your file that won't play - don't do anything except downloading a DIV X player. Has all the latest codecs and will play anything. Especially with AVI files that have no image, that definitely means you don't have the right codec. Hope that helps
Computers are fun
