If so, it should be no problem to disable the onboard SiS video circuitry (it's normally done in the CMOS setup screen) and install a more powerful video card. What kind of computer is it? Brand name, model number, etc. will help us to advise you better. P2 _____________________

Sadly you have to purchase a new video card (it is hardware, not software)
It will go in one of the slots of in your machine, and when in there will disable the on board one and will be able to SL, and actually everything will be faster. _____________________
