Hi!

I think you should lower that "32bit 1280 x 1024 setting, to 16 bit 1024 X 768 instead.
Your setting , is a very tuff one for an integrated card like yours. Have you done any Anti alizing and Anisotrophic filtering settings too? Lower them to a minimum.

You see, your video chip /card, have the performance of a Geforce 2 card. So it cant handle too much "pressure". And I 'm not really sure if your card even supports Direct X 9.0.

The best way, would be to get a whole new video card, like Geforce FX 5700 / FX 5700 Ultra. (Not LE though). 128 mb or Radeon 9600XT / Radeon 9700 pro. 128 mb.

But first make sure your motherboard, got an AGP port?
If you dont know. Download "Everest home" and look under "Motherboard" and "Expansion slots".

If you find out, that your motherboard, does'nt have any AGP. Then get a PCI video card, like, Jaton FX 5700. 128 mb. PCI video card or PNY FX 5500. 128 mb. PCI video card.

But dont confuse PCI with PCI Express, as PCI Express video cards, wont fit your motherboard.
You will also have to uninstall your old integrated video card in BIOS or in Windows Device manager.
