[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Sorry, this is probably a really dumb question...but how do you change your Avatar image that appears below your username?[/COLOR]
caffeinated.joy:
Regarding the double posts, just click "edit" on one of them and you can delete one of the doubles, and you can also use the edit button to change/add to a post rather than doing a separate post right after. :)
To change your avatar, just click on the user cp button up at the top and choose "Change Profile". On the left side menu you'll see an option to change your avatar.
Now, regarding your computer and the vid card. A brand new, top of the line vid card two years ago isn't necessarily top of the line now. What do you have? If you're not sure and need to check, go to your Start menu, click on run and type "dxdiag" (without the quotations) to get the Direct X Diagnostic tool. Click on the Display tab, and you'll see all of the information on your card. What we need is the name and amount of memory.
480mb of ram isn't bad, but I find having at least 1gb to be optimal. I have 2gb (recently upgraded from 768mb) and it's awesome. Fortunately, ram isn't too expensive these days, and a good video card of at least 256kb of memory can be purchased for a relatively inexpensive cost.
Sleepycat:
sounds like you need more RAM
My computer is 2 years old now and I haven't upgraded anything in it yet, it plays the game great, it has 2 gigs of RAM.
My other computer which is 2 1/2 years old (not upgraded at all either) and isn't as good, plays the game ok with 1 gig of RAM (my daughter uses that one and has more custom content then I do)
Mado:
Oh wow. I think I found the problem...
It says "Approx. Total Memory: 64.0 MB" The name is: Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller by the Intel Corporation. It's current display mode is: 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (60 Hz)
That is WAY less than even 1 GB. That's not good...
How much would a new video card cost, and how do you install them? You don't have to take apart the computer or anything do you?
I really appreciate all of your help that you've given me. I think I am getting a better idea of what I have to do to make my game work properly.
Would uninstalling other programs, files, and computer games make more room on my video card?
Mado:
*faints*
The cheapeast video card (which is 512 MB) is $70.00.
Some others are over $300! :o
My computer was already way over priced when I bought it and it's a piece of junk. I paid $750.00 for it and it barely has any memory, it always freezes, and it takes forever to load anything. Then I saw the exact same computer later for less than $400 a few months later =( Things really get overpriced near Christmas when I bought mine and now I'll probably have to spend $100 more just to replace the video card that should be excellent for the price that I had to pay.
I don't know what Im going to do.
