Laptop is running Windows 2ooo Pro.
a) have tried changing the graphics options to minimum on everything
and cutting back the sound options - no success
b) searched for up to date sound card drivers - found one that matched
my sound card but it was for Windows XP, not 2000 and didn't update
c) didn't think to look for video card drivers - where's the best
place?
I am determined not to let this beat me!!!!!!
Thanks again for any assistance.
