I thought of something that someone else Im sure has thought of and mentioned.<P>It seems that 99.9% of people who can't run XWA come to the HW/SW problems forum and ask for help.<P>80% of the time they don't post the system specs and ask for help anyway.<P>At the same time that amount of people end up either not having XWA installed with the 2.02 patch and a simple reinstall + patching is needed.<P>60% of the time new drivers do the trick.<P>To eliminate alot of this "spam" (for lack of a better term), a section in the FAQ entitled "Before you head off to the hardware/software forum..."<P>Reading...<P>Do you have the 2.02 patch?<BR>Did you re-install XWA?<BR>Have you got the latest drivers for all your devices?<BR>Did you check to see if there was someone with a similar problem in the forum who solved it?<P>If none of the above work, then come to the hardware/software help forum and please..<P>Post your full system specifications (CPU, motherboard, video card, etc.)<P>Describe the problem clearly and fully.<P><BR>That would eliminate alot of people who just join to ask the one question then never post again.<P>Hope you consider this, thanks.
