Precendents say that the online store doesn't accept the order until they take the money from your account, which is an additional reason why most web stores don't take the money until the order is shipped. Therefore the store has a choice whether or not to fullfill the order.

Got a email saying :

Thank you for shopping at the Entertainment warehouse. Unfortunately we have been unable to obtain the item(s) below and will not be able to deliver them to you.

I am certain no-one will ship on uncleared funds.

The usual get-out now (as seen above) is to claim no stock and then change the stock reference number.

The "you haven't paid" (contract not finalised) argument lost in court at least once and out of court several times in the UK.

Bit of a bump I know but still on topic.

Did you guys that ordered one of these get a email off tescos saying they would honour the price.

WooT!!!

Is it an onboard soundcard? If so they usually require some CPU to work properly. Games that use all the CPU (ie most of them) can cause problems. Newer drivers may help.

What he said. Get new drivers for that and the mainboard and the gfx while you're at it.

In vent, click setup and chang the boxes on the right, probably set up for the old one still.
