I need my fingers for the keyboard so I have to keep the toes crossed. I installed the game a few hours ago on the new desktop and had a small hickup when it didn't start properly. It turned out to be a temporary glitch with the firewall and a second start made the game fire up. It was the first time I had the game running for nearly two months.

I have decided to stick to playing this week. I haven't had any chance to play Ambitions so I am eager to try it out. I also want to check for any temperature issues, any problems with running the game with a quad core, or any other problems that may turn up.

On top of that I have tons of CC to install, play with and just enjoy the fact that I am able to actually run the game again.

IF any heat issues should arise I have the option to add some more fans to the cabinet so I am starting to feel pretty optimistic about life again. :-)
