I cannot get the game to run above a 800x600 resolution.

They're a cheap trick so that computer manufacturers can convince the unwitting that they are peddling gaming machines, not extra-shiny word processors.
It worked on us the first time we tried buying a "name brand" computer, cheaply. Then we found that a spouse built computer is much superior. And we gave our Dell to spouses parents. :D

Maybe you need to change your system setup to use the graphics card you added instead of the onboard Intel chip. I had to do this when I added a Voodoo card to a Pentium desktop with integrated graphics some years ago. Different manufacturers may have a different key needed to be pressed before the computer loads Windows to access the BIOS settings, but it should be displayed when the computer starts with the manufacturer's logo. It's sometimes one of the Function keys, like F8 or F10.

Yes, my shitbox is shit. I had no idea what hardware I needed to play games before I got the shitbox (which was way back in 2005, IIRC). When I discovered graphics cards were fundamental for people who actually want to play games, I asked about getting a graphics card. The solution was to buy or build a computer that doesn't suck.
Baa baa Vacantblue, everything seems to be going ok in 1024x768. Not much more lag than in 800x600.

I'm mostly amazed that desktops are sold without graphics cards, since, you know, they have room for them. I know the small slimlined desktops don't have them, but they aren't marketed as gaming rigs, anyway.

For the love of God, woman. Get a new PC.
