Hi,
I simply can't play a game. Actually I can enter in a game, with the image is really not fluid. There's a block each 2 or 3 seconds, like if some frames are dropped. I tried many games, from old to new ones, I switched Windows XP Pro to Home, etc. and its the same thing. I really need help, cauz I simply can't play any game with those image blocks. I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 32MB Video card, 760MB Ram, PIII 1GHZ and Windows XP Home.
Thank's alot for your help mates.

Most probably it is your video card. It is old, outdated and slow! Try finding updated XP drivers or update to a new card.

Believe it or not, bad sound card drivers can also cause this problem...especially older AWE64 Creative cards. So check or update both video and sound card drivers, or replace both.

There's nothing wrong with the age of your card, as someone else indicated. I'm running the same, and have no problems. Like another said, check that your video and sound-card drivers are up to date.
