311438 2005-01-06 19:51:00 Just about got this beast sorted now :D

However, some of my sons games are not playing correctly including one that says there is insufficient memory available.

This PC has the same RAM as my normal one (128M) so I ran AIDA32 to check what was happening.

The main worry seems to be that:

1) AGP is disabled; and

2) The AGP Aperture size is more than half the RAM.

Question: Where do I enable AGP and how do I reduce the aperture size?

Once again, thanks in advance

311440 2005-01-06 21:18:00 As Speedy says, the answer lies in the BIOS, if you can get into it now :)

When you get into the BIOS there is a page that says Configuration/Setup Utility.

Scroll down to highlight Devices and I/O Ports.
Then scroll down that window to Video Setup and press Enter..

There the video aperture can be set. It is usually 64MB by default, but can be toggled between 32 and 64MB.

You can Select Active Video, and this toggles between PCI and AGP.
