I'm suprised to see that thát machine actually runs windows xp ... How full is that pc's harddrive?
Another question, what graphics card do you have exactly? Most 128 MB cards I know of require a pentium-4 or AMD Athlon or equivalent alone ..
Cheers
The Card is an ATI Radeon 9200 with 128 MB. The Hardrive is only using about 20% of the space on a 80 GB drive. It runs Xp pretty well...
I looked at the specifications for XP it only calls for: 300 MHZ or higher processor 128 MB or hoigher memory
I'm over the minimum requirements for XP at least. When I first got this "Test Computer" I tied out everything from 98SE, WINME, finally XP as it run the fastest and most stable.
* You got me on the requirments on the ATI card though  I really dont know.. as I dont have the box anymore.. 
That may actually be the entire problem? It installs fine but maybe its too demanding on resources when displaying models and stuff...hmm.
I will try to remove it and go back into my bios and re-enable the Factory Graphics chip to see if at least software mode in A5 will render faster FPS.
Other than the video option...looks like I may be out of luck on using this system. (a shame too as I just threw a 256 memory chip in today)
well let me give it a go and I'll post back later,
