Advice needed: My first build - Page 3

AWESOME!!!!! That is sooooooooo exciting the first time man!

I think you will do just fine! One thing to kind of remember, build it, if possible, with you NOT on carpet! Try to find a good clear spot, like maybe a kitchen or den, or something of that sort that doesn't have carpet, but a good hard, non static, floor covering..................Remember, static is your enemy!

Ok so I got it up and running (I will post pictures as soon as I get my camera back from my brother) but I went to do something as simple as download the latest flash player and it says that I don't have the correct components to download it. Any idea on what could be causing this?

What's the exact error message?

Chillbacca · November 5th, 2008

It says sorry your platform is not supported.

What is your OS and browser? Were you trying to auto install within the web browser or did you manually download the actual installer package?

Chillbacca · November 6th, 2008

Vista 64 bit and internet explorer. I was trying to manually install it from their web page.

Try downloading the install file and running it from your computer. Make sure you are getting the right one.

and this monitor is a good bang for buck Newegg.com - Acer X223Wbd Black 22" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 2500:1 - LCD Monitors
My son has this monitor and has no complaints,and looks great.

EDIT: This would be my choice in memory because I love rebate checks LOL and because it's a very good product. Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

BTW there is a combo offer with your mother board choice and the ballistic memory making it even more attractive I imagine.

Yeah, I appreciate the suggestion tho.

I tried to download the specific version too but that didn't do any good so I just got firefox and it worked with that.
