Hi,

I'm on the internet at a specific site for days at a time without
rebooting. By the end of the 2nd day, my graphics start to go so that there
are beige areas where text should be and by the end of the 3rd day, only the
outline of a pop-up box can be seen. There is no info inside of the box . .
.. I see through the box to what is behind the box. These graphics problems
happens only at this site. If I go to another site (to check my email, etc),
I have no problems with my graphics. I stay on my computer this long
because I will lose much time and info if I stop to reboot. I periodically
do a disc clean-up, empty temporary folders, etc, during the 2 or 3 days but
it doesn't help.

I have Windows XP Pro, an AMD Duron Processor, 945 MHz, 256 MB
Ram. In System Properties > Hardware Tab > Device Manager > Sound, Video and
Capture Devides, it says that I have "Legacy Video Capture Devices."

My computer was made for me 4 years ago and the person who made it
is no longer with us so I can't find out the specifics of what is inside my
PC.

I've read some of the other posts here about video cards, BIOS,
whether the video card is part of the motherboard or separate, and raising
the AGP aperture size. If these are possible solutions to my problem, please
tell me how to get into BIOS, how to raise the AGP aperature size, and how to
find out whether my video card is part of my motherboard.

I don't do gaming so I don't need a video card that's fast but I need
one that can work for days on end without the need to reboot. Someone
suggested that the size should be at least 1G. I have no other problems
with my computer when I stay on line for 2 or 3 days without rebooting except
that I lose my graphics.

If I need a new video card, what type of video card will I need to buy? If
you need more info, I'll be happy to supply it.
