First, upgrade to Directx 8. If you only have 64 meg memory, upgrade to at least 128. Also make sure you have the latest video drivers for your card. What video card do you have?

I already upgraded to DirectX 8.o. My video card is Intel 82910 Graphics Controller 4.12.01.2576. I don't think RAM is the problem because my mom's only has 32 and it still runs fine. Thanks for the suggestions, though.
