There's no requirement to download any software to see what your computer is doing (or not doing).
Your
Asus P4S333-VM motherboard comes with a built-in 3D video chipset. While not remotely as powerful as a standalone video board (These start at $35), they can often run the Aquarium acceptably.
Can you look on the back of your computer and see where the monitor cable (VGA) is plugged into the computer?
Is it plugged into one of the colorful up-and-down plugs where you plug your printer, keyboard, or mouse? Or is it on one of the horizontal silver slats below that?
If it's plugged in on the side, then you are using the built-in video.
Make sure you have the latest version of the SiS video driver for this motherboard.

If your monitor is plugged into one of the silver slats below that, then you have a separate video card. If this seems the case, post back here and we'll go from there.
