There is much in XP that can be done to improve your video. Increasing the number and size of the buffers is just a beginning. These are done in the registry. If you are using an Athlon chipset then there is a known bug in the AGP that a simple registry change can fix. First of all make sure you have at least 512MB of RAM as games are graphic intensive and will cause problems if you don't have enough RAM to play them. Also a Video card with a minimum of 64MB of it's own memory is the bare minimum. Games are very very graphic intensive and require lots of memory. You can do some research on the reg tweaks yourself if you like, you don't really sound as though you're ready to attempt any reg changes when you can't even find the event viewer and begin troubleshooting with the logs found there. The same goes for the drivers for your vid card. Do some research or at least tell us what you have so we can point you in the right direction if you don't know how to do an internet search. }:~)
