I have a laptop with an S3 8mb video card. I recently installed XP and all is fine and works well. Everything is even a bit faster! So I went and bought XP Plus!
When I tried to install it I was told that because I only had an 8mb card, list of things wouldn't be installed.
Some of these things were screensavers and games.
I accepted this and didn't really mind.
A while ago I saw the link to the Windows XP 3D screensaver (the fluttering thing) and downloaded it. It works fine and looks good. I then noticed that this too required at least a 16mb card.
So now I'm thinking that my card CAN handle the parts of Plus! that I'm not allowed.
My question is: can I fool XP into thinking I really do have more than 8mb? Is this possible? And also, XP Plus! users, is it worth it?
I hope someone can give me some ideas here.
Many thanks.
