That had no effect but it was a good suggestion. 
The problem is in the manufacturer's labeling. 
The card only has 16MB and pulls the remaining 240MB from the system's memory (RAM). 
I wasn't aware of this until recently. My understanding is that this is nolonger 
a standard practice.
I have just ordered a new video card (EVGA Geforce GTX285 512bit w/1GB memory) and 
will see how that works. I'll post the results as soon as I get the card installed.
Thanks for your post.
