War3 on low laptop rofl

While away from home, I was still able to start war3:

I installed roc&tft and with daemon tools use an image of the tft to mount&not to use a CD. Sometimes I do models or rather, edit models for fun, so if you haven't seen how models look without texture (e.g trees are white & squary they just use a transparent texture to hide the sharp parts) having them on low laptop is the way.

I'm using keys I found online, yes, not mine, that turned out to work in bnet rofl, I only needed keys to install the game and play GG client but GG takes too much time, bnet at least everything's fast. So, I have:

Intel Pentium III 495 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD

I load slowest and after 1 h the screen becomes white, models without textures even a lightning bolt of Far Seer is a white square. Then the game may freeze, so I shut it down the hard way.

Anyway, I didn't know the default model is low quality, I turnt off Shadow, some sounds and resolution ingame is 640x480x16. Now it is better but still, what else can I reduce to make it run faster and better besides the options in the main menu? There isn't a button for graphics right? They are reduced by the other options like model options, shadows, occlusion, etc.
