    Hi,

    I don't usually play video games on my PC. I want to know if there's something I can do to make the graphics run smoother. I just bought MVP Baseball 2005. There are video options that seem to cause errors when they're changed, and an auto-detect still leaves graphics running slow. Anyway is it just not in the cards or what?
