i've got half a gig of RAM. sometimes the DivX files will play though ... just last week I saw all of undercover brother

without a problem but when i tried watching eyes wide shut it kept restarting. I have tried reinstalling everything ... even my OS. None of my other friends with Dells and IBMs have this problem ... I think it may be a compatability issue of some sort ... I just don't know what to change. Thanks for the welcome Shawn.
