I would recommend to my friend that she upgrade her monitor from a crt to a flat panel. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell+-+19%22+Widescreen+Flat-Panel+LCD+Monitor/9366063.p?id=1218092173453&skuId=9366063
I would also recommend that she upgrade her graphic card to get better quality. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Galaxy+-+NVIDIA+GeForce+9500GT+1GB+DDR2+PCI+Express+Graphics+Card/9182859.p?id=1218049410617&skuId=9182859
And lastly, I would recommend that she upgrade her Windows XP from the service pack 2 to the service pack 3. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=68C48DAD-BC34-40BE-8D85-6BB4F56F5110&displaylang=en
