flexus Report post Posted October 9, 2008 does the client crash immediatly after startup or when u click on "log in"? if it crashes when u try to log in, enable poor man before u try to log on in the settings. you should also google a bit how to find out ur system specs (or just look at the packing of the computer ) and post em here... w/o anymore infos, it will be hard/impossible to help u...

vojozo360 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) hmmm... google, never thought to google to try to find where the specs would be at............. dont remember why i put the box that i got the computer from x.x it does crash when i type in my username and password and click to log in.......... ill look around to try to find where the system specs are at EDIT: Guess i already knew where the system specs where at.... took a friend of mine less then 1 min. to find them guess i truly are computer challenged x.x Model: Inspiron 530S Processor: Intel® Celeron® CPU 440 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz Memory (RAM): 2.00 GB System Type: 32-bit Operating System hopefully that would be plenty of information Edited October 9, 2008 by vojozo360 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sayre Report post Posted October 9, 2008 From what I have found online from computers with that model and cpu, the video chipset seems to be the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 S. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Learner Report post Posted October 10, 2008 Intel® G33/G31 Express Chipset Family <----- is it i do believe........ atlease that is what my friend was able to pull up Windows has also said that it is up to date as well There have been problems in the past with Intel chipsets. Go to the Intel site and get the newest drives from them instead of Windows and see if that fixes you problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
