"iam trying to play doom 3 i have a onboard graphic card ati xpress 200" Check the system requirements. Your CPU & RAM are adequate, but your onboard graphics can't put out acceptable frame rates. Even if you can get it to load, the game won't be playable, even at the lowest settings...unless you like the slideshow effect? http://www.anandtech.com/video/show...

Yeah BUT My P.C Should Play These Games AllDay Long, Nothing To Do With My System?????? I Have Good Ram And cpu And A 256 Graphic Card Tell Me Please

"My P.C Should Play These Games AllDay Long...I Have Good Ram And cpu And A 256 Graphic Card" Sorry, but you're wrong. You do NOT have a graphics card...you have integrated graphics which is a totally different thing. It wouldn't matter if you had 1024MB video memory, the gaming performance would still suck because the Xpress200 is not a gaming chip. You'll be lucky to get 20 FPS @ 640 x 480. If you really wanna enjoy DOOM3 or any other games like it, you need to install a real video card. You list your system as AMBERINE M. That's an OEM board. Do you have an HP/Compaq system or just the motherboard from an HP/Compaq? If this is the correct board, it has a PCI-e slot...why not take advantage of it? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/... If you don't have a lot of money, even this cheap Radeon X700 for $20 would be better than the weak Xpress 200 integrated graphics: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... Here's a look at the X700 frame rates in DOOM3 @ 1024 x 768: http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews... Anyhow, I suggest you uninstall DOOM3. If you don't have CCleaner, download it, install it & run it...it will clear out all the accumulated garbage/temp files which *may* be wreaking havoc on your system. Make sure you have all the latest drivers installed, especially motherboard chipset & video. Once you've cleared out the garbage & updated the drivers, reboot, then try installing DOOM3 again.

The Ati xpress200 can not handle Doom 3, i once tried it and it was a slide show even with the lowest settings (low quality, 640*480, no specular, bump maps, shadows or high quality special effects). Even with Half-Life 2 i could only get btn 10-20 fps. gf
