I've had a glass of champagne so my vision possibly isn't the clearest, but
I don't see where you described the errors. Unless you were just posting to
complain, please give a better description of the problems you are
experiencing. If there are error messages, quote them exactly without
paraphrasing. You also forgot to tell us what video card you have, what
games you are trying to run, and what happens when you try. These links
will help guide you in creating your next post:

??? There is nothing to see. This is probably because you are not posting on
a real forum as you think you are. You are using a web interface that
leeches Usenet posts and most of the rest of us are using real newsreaders.
We don't see what you do. If you want to participate in Usenet, the better
way is to set up a newsreader. This is very easy to do and I'll give you
information about that below. If you prefer to use a forum, then here are
two excellent ones:

http://forum.aumha.org/index.php
http://http://computerhaven.info/

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it.
Here are some links to information about newsgroups:

You sorta forgot to mention what kind of problem(s) you're having.

No one can help if you don't provide at least a modicum of
pertinent information.
