Firstly I'm sorry but I can't help with your computer settings.

I originally entered the Boogre Caves quite early on but as my spells had an alarming tendancy to Fizzle I reloaded a saved game and completed both the Stout Mines and Shuregan Castle before returning. When I re-entered the Boogre Caves I was level 11 (or 12), my Burning Haze and Cure Poison Spells worked OK most of the time however, I also needed lots of mana top-ups.

I also found the Jungle Lilies more difficult than the Amazoni Mantraps, I posted a reply to a thread about the Mantraps yesterday. I have avoided hand to hand combat with both prefering to use spells. Walk in, cast Burning Haze, back off some distance (those Jungle Lilies aren't that slow), cast Cure Poison, watch the damage count and get ready to go in again.

Once cleared the Idol room a good place to loiter as Boogre Witches are frequently re-spawned there and they often carry Ankhs that will give you +1 to one of your stats.
