    Here's a good start (other than Driver updates ofcourse)

    SG31** Series (your computer)

    Clearing the BIOS settings:
    Make sure the computer is off
    (Cord out, and disperse all internal voltage by pressing the On button)

    This motherboard has jumpers to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS.

    Temporarily set jumper CLR_CMOS_HP to pins 2-3.

    Wait 5-10 seconds and then return the jumper to pins 1-2.

    When you startup the PC you will need to enter BIOS setup (F1 or ESC) to reset any custom BIOS settings.

    Here is a good guide to follow:

    You may wish to Print this page

    Inside Internet Explorer click on "Tools" on the toolbar
    (Note: in IE7, you may need to press ALT on the keyboard to see the IE toolbar)

    After clicking on "Tools" click on "Internet Options"

    • The first window you are presented with will be the "General" tab settings
    • Inside the "General" tab you can select "Delete..."
    • The next popup window will ask you what to delete.
    • You can select one button at a time, or "Delete all", answering Yes
    Once this is completed (and it may take some time to do) Continue on:

    Still in the General Tab
    • Click on "Settings" (next to Delete)
    • Change the "Disk space to use" to 65
    • Select OK
    Now, go to the Security tab
    • Click on "Custom Level"
    • Click on "Reset"
    • Click on "OK"
    Now go to the Privacy tab
    • What I do in here, is move the vertical slider slighty up or down
    • This allows "Default" to highlight
    • Click on "Default" (the slider will come back down)
    • Click on Apply
    At last go to the Advanced tab
    • Click on "Restore advanced settings" (a bad way of saying default)
    • Also if you scroll down the list, you will find "Phishing Filter" (I usually disable this annoying popup)
    • Click on Apply
    • Click on OK
    Restart Internet Explorer

    Now, please try that page again

    By the way is this Vista 64 or 32Bit ?

    im really sorry but what page?
    And I Am Not Quite Sure Windows NT6.0 (Build 6000)

    Are you saying the web link doesn't open ?

    The instructions above, are referring to using Internet Explorer. Confirming that clicking on links the pages will open.

    32 or 64 ? (asked 3 times now)

    64 just restarting computer

    Oh the original question

    It's as if this were your original post!

    You know there are a lot of posts on this one game here at TechSpot
    Some video cards work really well, some don't

    Therefore it's trial and error at this point.
    Let me know the outcome

    Yay it works :)
    or
    No it doesn't :(
