I had 64mb of SDRAM - now got 320! My processor is a P2 233Mhz - crap and won't run the two games I love very well (Deus Ex and Star Trek: Armada). The graphics card is a real bitch and the major problem. I asked for a minimum of 8mb, but the bastard only gave me 4mb and still charged me for the 8mb. Sadly it is not enough to properly run ST:A even on the low setting for the graphics and so that may be the next thing to be replaced.
Sadly (not being very techincal) I did not notice the thing about the graphics card until 6 months later and after he had gone out of business. I have since considered buying a P3, but decided on upgrading my current PC so that it will cope during my last year at university. When uni is finished and I get a full-time job with a larger salary, I may very well buy a P3 or even a P4 and give the P2 to my sister as she is living with a P1 75!
As for what I use my PC for - games mostly, like Deus Ex and ST:A, X-wing v TIE Fighter and the previous two games of the title. I also use the computer a lot for assignments and (trying) to write a novel - hence the reason why I've stuck with a P2 for so long: it had met my needs until recently.
Ah well, we can't all have what we dream of . . . but if we did, we'd probably get bored very quickly as there would be nothing to dream of having and nothing to strive for . . . I could be wrong (known to happen) . . .

Try reinstalling over the present version you have now. That might work.
