System Requirements Lab does not work for me anymore… instead of getting the results like I used to, all the results are the same that I get for every game: Unknown
What’s the deal??? I allow the applet to download and run, yet still Unknown is the result…..
I wish I could remember the name of the other website that could check to see if your computer would run games… it is just like system requirements lab and at least it works!!
I have the same problem as the above poster; I keep getting Unkown for my results. I tried it on a slew of different games: games I knew I could run, games I wasn’t sure about, new games, and old games. Is there any explanation for this, or anyway that this can be remedied?
it has no elder scroll games like oblivion
i take that back… its under T for The elder scrolls
