    Just got a M14x... Loving it, expect for the fact that games install very slow, and eventually the progress bar which denotes the installation doesnt move it all

    I tried with F1 2010, and Dirt 3... Can someone suggest an option?

    I think the slowness of the installation is because of the DVD drive, because mine does that as well, when installing game like GTA4, Medal of Honor, Civ 5 etc...

    I think there's no way you can do about it, just let it install and get a coffee else where and back, lol

    Oh wait, I think you can try defrag the drive or when you install something, try close down all of the program running if possible.
