Not sure if this is actually your problem but, in general, integrated graphics cards will either not work at all or suck worse than a black hole.

try the 61.77 drivers

if this doesnt fix it then perhaps getting the Nforce 4.27 international chipset drivers will .

well the card is good, its the fact its running off of a 128 MB RAM running at 133 Mhz and XP is using the 256 MB RAM running at 133 Mhz (norm 233 Mhz)

BTW my other computer is has a nVidia GeForce FX 5200 and it is running w/ the 81.98 drivers and ran AH w/ no prob, this card is newer so idk if its the drivers

ok what you have is onboard gf 4 gpu its also using part of this
 Memory: 256MB RAM

so its either using 64mb's or 128 mb's which comes from your 256 stick .

so as example your now running on 128mb's of ram for windows XP .

  you have a huge bottle neck in this pc . you really need more ram thats for shure .  (i would add at least a 512mb stick )

now the GF4 gpu is actually a DirectX 8  processing unit thats why the older 61.77 drivers work the best on it .

your other machine with the GF 5200 is a DirectX 9 processing unit and is more compatable with other drivers.

Now there's something to post in a public forum. :aok

I think its an onboard gpu which has onboard memory in addition to the main memory, which would mean xp runs on 256mb still, otherwise the memory that is used by the graphic chip is usually not listed in the windows memory, and that would make the 256MB pretty strange. Can still be, but then the system has 384 MB of memory.

Can you tell us what brand/model your motherboard is?

Actually that is the bare min required by ah to run, it might be you run out of memory. Try to put the pagefile size higher, and set AH to the absolute minimum settings in resolution and quality, otherwise it will run out of memory. Also i can only second ro's advice that you need more memory to run it smoothly.
