When you say it does not respond, do you mean it locked up your computer, or the program crashes, or it gives you a error, or it just takes a long time? Those are completely differnt problems, but the last one is the simplest, just wait a while cause the first time you load up it has to calculate some stuff.

Well, I see you went all out on posting those system specs.
Must have taken you at least 3 seconds.
I can tell you are dedicated to getting help.

Hmmm, I forget whatyou can do to find out in windows, it might say it when your computer first boots up. Since you have 196mb ram, you should have a fast enough computer, right clikc on the desktop, click on properties, then settings, advanced, and finally adapter to find out your graphics card.

Well, if your processor is fast, you just need a newer vidieo card- find some freind who wants a top of the line model, and convince them to give you their old one for $50, it might happen.
Also, I haven\'t tried out modifying the config file, but it might be possible to lower the video memory required. Of course, then everything would look like big blocks.
