I tried your suggestion of new video card and game still doesn't work, i
tried game on friends pc and it worked fine, are video cards are intel, mine
is 82810E, friends 82845G, so i was going to download the 82845G video card
but theres a warning saying this card is only compatable with a certain chip
set, plus other games of mine are sometimes running slow and stalling, which
also doesn't happen on friends. i wouldn't mind, but she paid a lot less for
her pc. can i change to this video card? her pc has more memory, is this what
is causing mine to stall? can i increase my memory? Maria

Short answer NO. Get a decent video card to replace the low-end crap on the
motherboard should solve your problems. BTW - cost of purchase is not the
criteria for evaluating a pc's performance. There's low priced top-notch
sellers and high-priced crap sellers, e.g. selling small form factor cases
with mb's that have little expansion capabilities yet greater cost because
it "doesn't use so much desk space" is one example.

Hello, try posting your question to the Windows 2000 or Windows XP game
groups you're more likely to get a better response there.

This group is for discussing of games on the as of yet unreleased Windows
Vista.
