Hi, just installed XP pro on new Hdd. The interface locks up on some video intensive 3D software and always freezes on the web with several pages open. All hardware compatible and tried two new video cards. I solved it by going: control panel>sys props>adv. performance settings>adjust for best performance. Now works OK but I'm still not sure why in the first place. Any suggstions would be appreciated as most of the nice visual features of XP are now gone. With 1.3g processor, 512 m ram and 128mb video seems it should be powerful enough to use all the XP features..... Many thanks
