No, we were asking what is the brand of your computer. We know you have an intel processor. What is powerspec?

Examples of brand name and model number of computers:

Dell Inspiron 660

Dell XPS 8500

HP Pavilion p6-2400t

HP Envy-Phoenix h9-1440t

Gateway DX4370-UR10

eMachines EL1852G-52w

b810 seems to be a processor number.

Unless you computer is a homebuilt or custom built in a shop, it will have a brand name, like HP, Dell, eMachines, etc. -- and a model number, like XPS 8500. Do you see anything like that written on your computer case?

OK I found this
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2352518,00.asp
so there is a Powerspec brand after all. But there's very little about the b810 on the Internet about it. There's a powerspec.com website, but unfortunately nothing about a model b810 at
http://www.powerspec.com/support/support_archive.phtml

So I guess we can't tell much about your computer from the model name and number. I was hoping we could look up whether the video card had discrete video memory or only "borrowed" memory. Dxdiag doesn't distinguish.

By the way, did the computer play all these games that aren't playing now before it was "upgraded" from XP to Windows 7? If so, maybe it's a driver issue.

According to Big Fish, all the Natalie Brooks games should work in Windows 7. I'm not sure which is the second one (was it "Treasures of the Lost Kingdom?"), but are you sure you've done everything you need to? Some games won't let you progress if you miss something.

So you got Dracula 3 working now? Great!
Sounds like all you needed was the right drivers.

For Natalie Brooks 2, you may need to restart the game. It's possible you found a bug.

I think fixya just wants your money. You should be able to change your ATI drivers yourself. See if you can download them from the ATI site

I don't know what to tell you about Natalie 2. It's been so long since I played it that I forgot all the details. Are you near the beginning of the game? Did you follow the walkthrough step by step? I can try replaying it and see if the walkthrough left out a step.

Well, I just played it. Once the statue's belly opened up and I got the key, the phone popped up and I had no trouble clicking Read. So something is definitely wrong if you can't do that. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the game and see if that helps.

Do you have the Big Fish version of the game? It's possible that an older, CD version might have a problem and need a patch.
