1) can it make games that match the power of the ps2 or xbox etc ? i mean equal power not being ported or any thing i just like to make some pc games but how strong is it?
My benchmark tester program will show you to some extent just how much detail you can put into your game. For 60 fps, you can have over 300,000 visible polygons and that's without LOD. On my system, with a 3 GHz Pentium 4 processor, and GeForce 7600 GT, my peak is a tad over 23 million polygons per second. This doesn't account for collision detection or anything like that, however, but it does give a good idea on the power. Adding in LOD (level of detail), you can easily get the whole level in view and still get beyond 60 fps. The benchmark tester program is free and available in the user contributions forum (by me).

2)i keep getting errors when making land i try to reshape some land but i get problems not allowing me to have that land how i like it?
Use models instead of blocks. They offer so many advantages. Far faster rendering, much more flexibility in shape and structure, near-instant build times, they can be dynamically altered, and there's more to this than that. You'd be lucky to even make 100,000 polygons per second rendering with just blocks compared to nearly 200 times more with models that allow for much more. I suggest avoiding blocks altogether. They're only useful for simple, entire indoor levels, but even then, using models for this still has it's strong advantages.

3)i keep finding tutors that dont work i copy i past etc but nothing works i nocted there version 5 or lower so why dont they work ? 5 should work on 6 yeah? so were can i get tutors that work with 6.2 is there a site that puts them in order like version 6 tutors and version 5 etc
Old syntax is abandoned in A6 thus, tutorials from the A5 days may not work as well.

4)were can i get a better level editor?
Use models instead of blocks. There are several model edittors out there, some free, some cheap, others expensive. Just take out Google and start searching.

5)were can i start i like to make a 3rd game not a silly 1st game
well thats it so far can some one help please
You can make any type of game of any genre. The limit is only your imagination and creative thinking. My 2D game is a high-speed action game and my 3D game is a platform game that's otherwise multi-genre (but a platform game at it's heart).
As to the issues with your password, try reinstalling the key file. If you ordered by download delivery, check your E-mail to see if you have it. If you ordered it by mail, check the CD/floppy containing the key and install the key from there. If that doesn't work, uninstall Gamestudio then reinstall it and your key. If you can't find your key, contact Conitec so they can give you a new one (or a replacement).
