Tornado Rex Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 When posting a problem, be sure to include the following information about your computer: Operating system (XP users: be sure to mention if you have SP1 or SP2) Video/Graphics card type + graphics memory Processor RAM (random access memory) This will help us to identify the problem. ~ Proud Supporter of the Child's Play Charity! | GTANET + Child's Play ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yakuza1 Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 I made an update to my graphics card here a while back but the only problem is that I need more memory. Is there a way to download more memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin. Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 The main problem right now is your on-board graphics card, it would probably best to invest in one. Make sure you either get a new one, or keep the on-board graphics you've got up to date, but you'll still have the same problem unfortunately.

You're gonna want more RAM (as was suggested) along with a new video card. 512MB would be fine, 1GB would help a little more. ~ Proud Supporter of the Child's Play Charity! | GTANET + Child's Play ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
