Recently I have been trying to play an online game called Second Life. I
experience constant crashing. I've checked "C" drive, I have 2.74 GB free.
Any ideas what other settings I should check? When I am able to play long
enough, it operates very slowly ( high lag ).I've also tried to free up more
space on C- drive. It has a total of 13.9 GB, and have no idea why or what is
using so much of that space........thanks

-- Thanks Andrew for the advice. I reset per instruction, but it continues
to crash. I have discovered that the game only needs half of everything that
my pc has. I checked video card;it's a radeon 9200 ,128 mb, which should be
enough accoeding to specs. The game had an upgrade , and it seemed like it
was doing ok, and then it crashed yet again. I have some locals trying to
sell me a high end video card for $500.00, but I don't see that happening. I
also was trying to track a reboot issue and ended up in BIOS, now pc runs
like a dog. I am computer illiterate,frustrated,and at the end of my
wits.Thanks in advance,
RB
