Also dont have anything else running in the back ground. AIM , MSN , Yhaoo, All messengers runing at same time... Im not totally sure. Jut some suggestions.

I don't mean to be rude, but your video card is very, very weak. That's probably the biggest source of your problems. It wasn't designed for 3D games (the "MX" line is less powerful and is for workstation computers generally), and probably has the power of a top-of-the-line card from about 1998. Your CPU isn't great by any means but it's managable. You'll definitely need to upgrade your video card to ~Radeon 9600 (regular or Pro, not SE) if you want it to be playable at a decent resolution.

It's amazing how short the life span of computers are these days.
