..and tell me if its any good :3
Well it looks awesome, you can draw in perspective and use gradient fills in perspective and do all kinds of stuff with it. But it requires opengl 3.0 and i only have a crappy integrated graphics card :(
..so guys, should i save monies for a better graphics card?

oh you are right! i totally forgot to add the link.. [added it in the OP]
..please, somebody try it out :S

edit2: hmm... maybe the opengl 3.0 drivers will work on the geforce 8200 after all... i'll try them out right away. i'll report back, what happens...
edit3: dammit! my screen went blank. had to reboot my computer. im running fedora now. worst case, i need to reinstall windows.. :(
edit4: this might take some time.. fedora had like over 450 updates i need to install.. luckily i have a pretty fast connection..
edit5: lucky, i had to just reinstall the display drivers.. everything is working again.. thought i would still like to know if Storbacka's Digital Artist program is worth it to buy a graphics card for (i havent found any reviews on google yet)

I'm sorry, I get the same message as you and I'm not looking for another issue with my computer. My office isn't working anymore already.

ah, damn... :(
but thanks anyway :)

..earlier when i said everything was working again. Turns out i was a bit too optimistic, Windows doesn't recognize my external hard drive anymore (it now thinks its a hd dvd-rom drive) and there are other slowdowns too... :S
I have been meaning to buy a new (internal) hard drive for some time now, the 2 hard drives that are still working are almost 5 years old... i found Samsung F3 1TB drive for €80. im gonna go buy it as soon as the shop opens and reinstall vista (maybe that will fix things again), oh and im gonna try installing debian too :)

..
i almost forgot! i found this thread where somebody commented pretty in depth about the HSDA and it looks like the perspective painting has some problems :(
