Hi Zero!
Well, I certainly wish that I had some more techie expertise so that I might lend a hand and it seems like our board techies have been a tad busy of late as well
Hope you can be patient until someone who really has an idea of what they are talking about comes along and gives a suggestion.
I had read your post shortly after you had posted but left it unanswered hoping that our techies would note that it still needed a reply. Perhaps bumping this back to the top will help.
Have you read through Saz' help desk thread and seen anything in there that might seem like a solution?
Have you tried running the game in software mode??
