Although your new video card uses it's own memory, it still requires more processor power than your old 4MB card. You are a little shy on processor power in my opinion to get the full benefit of your new card. I would try all of the lowest settings on the card and see if you get better...

edfair is probably correct as new mobos probably have been sitting around in the wharehouse for a while. But I would first test the battery if you have a tester, or take it to Radio Shack and have them test it. Also, before you do that use an eraser and clean the contact that holds the memory...

Hi: Do you have any error handling going on? If you have error handling, it is possible that the sub in the module is erroring out, thereby causing the code to drop to the error handler in the first form. If not, Try changing the sub to a function which returns a value telling you whether or...
