As the title says ?

Why not just leave it as the 3 'stickys' and have done with it ?

I mean 95% of the questions in here are about graphic driver problems, as I thought this was a 'help forum' but it seems to much trouble for some people, yes you know who you are, to bother answering in a civil way and just keep banging on and say 'go to the manufactures site' or 'read the skickys'

So if indeed that is the only 'help / advise' you can offer here, then once again WHY HAVE A LAPTOP SECTION ??

Because....laptops have a totally different set of problems than a desktop. You can't use anything but 'mobility' drivers...and some have to be downloaded from the manufacturer only. mobility drivers are 'dumbed down' versions of mainstream graphics and designed by the laptop mfg to work with its dumbed down processors and specific bios instructions.

Also, people with laptops are supposed to actually read the stickys. Most do not and have to have someone read it to them. If you have seen the amount of posts I have " Uh..my game crashes!!!! What is the matter???" You could understand why there are stickys.  Do you have a laptop? Do you have a question that is not answered in the stickys? Or do you need it read to you...just say so and someone will oblige.

1/ Yes I do have a laptop

2/ No I don't have a question re the skicky's

3/ Yes, please I would like you to read the sticky's to me, but can you use your inside voice ?

BTW a large post count is NOT equal to your level of Intelligence..............

You could also say "why is a forum needed" when if people would do simple internet searches and basic diagnostic steps they would find the answer to their question 95% of the time. Why don't you count all the threads on here that had the following results:

1) Issue with the game/program itself
2) Faulty RAM module
3) Insufficient power supply
4) Outdated BIOS/Drivers/Program version
5) Hardware to old to support newer addin hardware (such as an old motherboard with a current generation video card)

And yet people come on here every day in every category and post new threads without doing any research or basic diagnostic steps, and many don't even read the stickies.

Hi well in the few years I have been doing this (23) most people have no idea what is in there computers but still think they can fix them, so reading a sticky that they dont understand does not really help. They try to install video cards or hard drives with no idea of the process to do this type of thing. Most really need a pc shop to sort there problems not a forum. To use a forum one should have some understanding of computers.

And that's also how Apple sells a PC painted white for a 300% markup.
