Stupidly bought barebones sys on auction and they cut corners (duh!). Having graphics and out of memory trouble.
System info:
PC Chips/PC133 GFXCEL SystemBoard, model M758mr (Socket 370)
FCPGA Pentium III CPU - 96.0MB RAM
SiS 630 Chipset Rev 20 with onboard 128-bit 2D/3D 100MHz Host interface AGP
......Driver version 1.03.51
SiS 5513 Dual PCI IDE Controller (using basic ms driver)
SiS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller (using basic ms driver)
DirectX 7.0 (diags OK)
I am computer literate but a novice (everything seems second nature but I need a tutor!) The troubleshooting of one of the games I installed referred to needing a Microsoft certified driver for my SiS 630 and the only one I have isn't. I have tried to update but PC Chips-no response, SiS-see manufacturer, vendor-needs invoice number.
The program freezes at startup. If I eject the cd and reinsert, I get two taskbars. When I choose the right one, the program starts but the graphics blink, wink and shake. As soon as the program tries to go to the next page, it freezes again and I have to reboot.
I have another program that, if run for a couple of hours, I get out of memory error. I know I need more ram but my swapfile is huge!
Besides buying new components, is there anything else I can do?
Hope someone can help! Thanks!
