The way you describe it, it is working as it should and If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'd suggest you get a new computer to fool around with, one that has more memory, a newer videocard with more memory. It doesn't have to be a Pentium system, though that is nice. But if you want your present system to continue functioning as you like it, leave it alone. KT>Thanks for any recommendations.
