Sounds like your graphics card is choking everything up...

P.S: What is youy framerate? It's ctrl+F8 I think...

What do you mean by "no slots"?

You do know that if you buy a new graphics card, you'll have to remove the previous one?

That said, is your current card in an AGP or PCI-E slot?

What make/model is your computer? If it's a 2006 model, it should have at the very least an AGP slot even though you may not currently have an AGP card. Anyway, I wouldn't want a PCI card. If your computer truly doesn't have at least an AGP slot, then it looks like it's time to upgrade.

i think it may be my graphics card. i tried to play sh3 and the same thing happens
uninstalled this 6200 card and put my old one back in (geforce 5200) will just have to wait to play the game untill i can up grade my computer to handle the newest cards (pci-e) unless someone has any ideals this is an hp a1223w

Aargh, I think this is the mother board you have: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...name=c00361570

If that's true you're right, neither a PCI-E slot nor an AGP slot on there.
