i have 2 problems:
1. i have an old ibm aptiva that runs on windows 95 with a pentium 120mhz and has 22 megs ram, no GPU. It has a 5 pronged monitor output, and i want to hook it up to my 19 inch tv in my room which has s-video inputs, and i haven't the slightest idea how to do it. i would like some tips on how to tweak it to run total annihilation faster, as it always lags after like 10 units are built.
2. the next problem is a big one, which if solved will make the previous problem irrelavent. my parents recently bought a new pc that was custom built by my dad's cousin. it runs windows xp professional, with an AMD athlon 1.66ghz and 256 megs of ram.
my mothers brother, who is a computer engineer with many degrees, says that when games are put on a computer they mess around with the .dll files and cause crashing and other problems over time. i was wondering if that would happen if i were to put only total annihilation on and NEVER anything else, only one game ever. would it cause all the problems that my uncle speaks of, or can i play my most treasured game purchase, on my new pc, lag free?
