    Yeah, nice one mate. That's a nice, well thought out site.

    @Darkreality. I agree that it makes more sense to install the drivers first, but you're a but shortsighted to dismiss the site author as a "bloody fool" for that alone.

    By the way, you might want to update your sound card drivers to the directX 9 release.

    Then I install Winamp, then Windows Media Player, in that order because Winamp does not require a reboot; Windows Media Player does. After the reboot, I then install the Kazaa Lite Codec Pack.
    Ooh, you're so leet.

    well, I'd notch 1 up to common sense as far as installing drivers prior to any programs. in many cases, game installers will configure itself to best fit your computer's components and performance...

    for best results, i suggest reformating you system and then following the guide before making any installations... then your free to install in what ever order you desire.... *some people are sooo technical*
