When you using an onboard video card adapter you are using *system* memory to do video work. Normally, system BIOS or a system utility will dynamically allocate memory to video use depending on the demand for memory by both the system and the adapter. If you are running XP or Vista basic and have less than 1GB of RAM or any other Vista with less than 2 GB of RAM I would immediately suspect lack of memory as at least a contributing factor if not the cause of the problem. FWIW I would suggest that you RAM should be at least double those numbers. The BIOS may have a setting that will allow you to specify the minimum and/or the maximum to allocate to video. Check that setting. Also, check the minimum system requirements for your Pinnacle software. Before you buy a new video card check the system requirements for the card... especially the power supply requirements. Many of the new cards require a *lot* of power and you might also need a new power supply to support a new card.
