Welcome to the forum.

Without knowing what error code you are getting with the BSOD its impossible to say what the problem is. I would have a guess though and say it is your computerthat is seriously under powered to run Windows 7 for one thing, then trying to run a game on it just puts to much stress on it.

P.S and by reading the title of your thread you also seem to have a probblem with your keyboard

That "system" is grossly under spec' for XP and was probably built for Win 98 ... sorry, trying to 'fix-it' would be waste of time & money.

You don't have enough memory to run anything, never mind the operating system.

you have Win 7 drivers for that card?

Aye, Mucks is right, I'm surprised Win 7 is running at all. It would run XP at a pinch but time to upgrade methinks or at the very least change/downgrade to XP.

Your computer is well under specced for windows 7 to run. You cant really throw money at it upgrading components to make it faster either, your better off getting a new computer.

Have a look at these, as i doubt you'd build your own.

From your MB specs here: http://www.motherboard.cz/mb/aopen/ax45f-4dn.htm
You need a x8 AGP Graphics Card.
Suggest you look in MicroMart (on sale at newsagents) for one.
Maplins may stock them, but doubt it due to it's age!!
Most modern GC's are now PCI-E

Hope this helps.

ebay all the way for an AGP card. Something like a 7600gt or something along the Ati 4600 range, like a 4670 or 4650, im sure they come in a 1gb graphics memory.
