As far as the game goes, I still have to find out if my home PC is upgradable. I have more than the minimum requirements here at work, but for some reason, it won't let me install the game.
It gives me an error message saying it cannot locate the D:\English~1.cab file. When I do a search for the file, it cannot be found. Weird, huh?
That said, you've seen Weathertop? I can't even leave the Shire! LOL! It took me a half hour to get out of Bag End, for crying out loud!
