of course, how could i forget to post those 2 pieces of info haha, sorry, it was like 2.30 in the morning ive tried getting updated trhough ATI and my card doesnt exist according to them, but heres the info on what you want "Also while you are there do you see a yellow ? or ! by i?" not sure what you mean by that but i dont see anything of the sort Graphics card - ATI RADEONXPRESS 200 series Also LogMeIn Mirror Driver is present there the model number is - a1108.uk the norton thing is the security center, basically its just telling me whats turned on or off with firewall, antivirus and auti-updates, it doesnt actually do anything else ive had a RAM upgrade, i got 512 put in along side the standard so i have 712, enough for portal to run, but thats the only modification ive made to the internals hope this is enough! if you need anymore ill be happy to get you the info if i can!

hi there! i have a problem, my computer is 2 years old this christmas just gone, and recently i bought Portal through the progrma Steam run by Valve, so its a legit copy, and it opens and runs fine, but after a while my computer dies and restarts on me for no apparant reason, so il try to pen the game and it runs, but for less time than before, the time decreases with each play of the game to a few seconds! computer spec basics: i told you the age Windows XP AVG antivirus free some kind of norton that wont go away for some reason HP Pavillion (thats all i can say i dunno anything else...) i have Azureus and BearShare, but theyve caused me no problems the problem ONLY occurs when playing this game, my own speculation is my graphics card or processor cant handle the relativly new game, i think it may be my graphics card because i can play games of less "intense" graphics, and portal has relativly new-age graphics, and my proccessor undegoes alot of stress anyways and has never doen that before so..any help would be mighty appreciated so i can run the full orange box on my pc! (i got it for christ mas and hav already completed all the games, HL2, ep1 ep2 and portal, TF2 is just fun :D) PS. appologies for any spelling mistakes, this is how bad i am at typing :D
