rude. My mom is looking at buying a new computer. she has downloaded all the games and jsut wanted to know if she would be able to play them on her new computer. We really are clueless about all this. I have no idea where to look to get this info. The only reason I posted here was because someone told me to. Thank you for all the input but I can not find the info I need on the other site. But what has been posted on this one has helped. I got my answer!
