Q. I recently purchased The Sims 2 Double Deluxe computer game. I was wondering, is there is anyway, after you install it on the PC, to transfer that installed data on my netbook? My netbook does not have a disc slot and I want to play the game there. If there is any possible way to do so, without using the disc it would be great to know.
Thanks.
I was wondering how you would work the external drive, I have one but how would you transfer data onto it?

A. If the computers are on the same network you can install using the desktop's cd/dvd drive. Just share the cd/dvd drive on your desktop, put the the disk in, and use your netbook to navigate to the share. Run the setup and you will have it installed on your netbook.
How do I improve the graphics in my computer games without the games slowing down?
Q. I've recently been delving into a lot of computer games. The only problem is i have turn down the quality of the visuals quite a bit in order for the games to run smoothly. I was wondering if there was a way to improve my computer's visual capabilities.
A. It really depends on a few different things.
First off, there are two different types of video hardware - onboard (or integrated) video, or dedicated video (video card). Onboard video is limited - it's not really made for heavy gaming. Onboard video uses system memory, which is generally slower than memory chips on a dedicated card, and is usually limited by the system BIOS in how much memory can be made available. Dedicated video (i.e. a video card) generally has much more available memory, and a faster video CPU.
With either setup, one of the best improvements (and free) is to make sure you have the latest drivers from the manufacturer. Newer drivers can often make a huge difference. Sometimes, with Windows, the drivers in use may not actually be manufacturer drivers, but stock Windows drivers, which are horrible for any kind of gaming. If the PC uses integrated video, increasing the RAM allocated to the video system in the BIOS setup may help, at the cost of available memory to the PC.
The best part though - video cards are cheap performance upgrades. Even a cheap video card will be better (by far) than most integrated video chips. If there is already a dedicated card, upgrades are cheap and easy.
It depends on the age of the PC, but there are basically 3 different types of video card - PCI, AGP, or PCI Express. If the PC is within 7 years old (give or take), it's likely an AGP or PCI Express setup. Either way, the best (easiest) place to find a card is probably Newegg.com
Hope that helps,
