Okay, well taking Dalo's advice and turning into a few steps to make it easier to follow :P

 

Please do the following first:

Open the device manager, by doing the following:

 

Go to Start

Then click on Run

Then type in Devmgmt.msc

 

This will open up Device Manager,

Look down and expand [click the +] by Display Adapters and tell me if any of the items in the list has a yellow "!" beside them?

 

If so, which ones?

 

Also do you know what Graphics card your system has? if not, do you know how to find out?

Sorry not to get back sooner had my daughter this weekend and don't get chance to get online.

 

Display adapters don't have any yellow!

the graphics card installed is

 

NNVIDIA GeForce2 MX 100/200

Thats a VERY old Nvidia mobile GPU chip - I am surprised that it plays any games at all :eek:

[Baffled56]

suppose it is lol, don't do alot of gaming, what do you suggest??

think it might be time for the dog to **** his leg on it ;)

[Dalo Harkin]

Well its old but not useless - dont expect any form of game to play well on a mobile GPU as it wont :D

[Baffled56]

what do you suggest as a suitable replacement?
