I have no idea then. LoL ...My computer just doesn't like me suppose. I've tried installing video cards in it three times now (three totally diff. cards) and they all messed up my system and I gave up after three weeks of trying (per card). ^^;

It's not a function of your video card, either. The things your seeing are in the video itself; no amount of video hardware will change the data encoded within the video.

Yeah, I know that. I was making the fact that my computer hates me. I don't have a video card because this cheapo computer won't take one ^^;

You obviously have a video card, or else you wouldn't be able to see enough on your computer screen to post here in the forum. :-D

Swapping video cards takes some care, and a complete OS rebuild is usually a good idea.

Whatever it is with your PC, Cosmos, you can learn more about this framerate cra...uhhh...stuff by reading Adobe's Technical Guides. They're here:

If you need to reinstall your OS every time you replace your video card, then either <I>you are a freaking idiot</I> or <I>you are doing something horribly, horribly wrong</I>. (Or both.)

^^; ...I dunno what the problem was, but I have a Compaq 5BW220, and when I went on their forum's a lot of other people with this model can't get video cards to work as well, so I gave up. ^^

I'm not familiar with Compaq's, but I suspect they're not that friendly for upgraders (unlike eMachines). That model 5BW220 has integrated video hardware. You probably have to disable it through the BIOS in order to allow an add-in video card to work. That's just a guess, though.

And it's a bad guess. :?
Just checked two PCs that have integrated graphics. Neither one had an option to disable graphics. Audio and modem...but not video.
So, that won't help you.

Yep, I had that problem with an old Dell. If the onboard video can't be disabled, it may not like another video card added on.

Compaqs aren't really meant for user-alteration. :-P
