Check and see how much video ram you have on that card. Right click on your desktop, click on properties, then settings, then advanced, then adapter. It should show much much memory the card has. Let us know the info on the card and we can tell you it's too old and slow

I just upgraded my video card a few weeks ago.
Since my system is so old it doesn't have a PCI-E slot so the best I could do was an AGP card with 512 mg vram. Not that great but a whole bunch better than what I had before.
LOL check me out, I almost sound like a 'puter wonk.

BTW at the risk of getting slapped, I have a new in the package MSI N210-MD512H 512MB video Card that I can't use and will let go cheep, I'd prolly take $20 plus shipping.
Details as follows:
