I recently bought this computer from a fellow over the internet. He used to run Linux on it so when I told him about the issue he told me he couldn't be of much help since he Ran linux and games worked fine for him on that platform.
My Problem is:
When I try and run GTA Vice City I get an error saying: "Grand Theft Auto VC cannot find enough available video memory"
When I try and run GTA Liberty city I get the error: Grand theft auto III requires at least 12mb of video memory.
When I try to Run J River media in theatre mode I get: "Error starting Direct3D Engine"
Ive included what I am assuming are relative system information Specs. I am wondering if maybe the graphics card in not compatible with xp. but I get th NVIDIA Icon in the system tray and in my control panel and it says the device is working properly. I have not Idea what to do.
