Just to update:

When I tried to go back in and reconfigure last night, it kept asking me for a reinstall. Looks like the initial install corrupted. So, I'm going to do what was suggested and do a FULL install (I've got plenty of drive space, after all!) and Detonator 10.80...anyone know where one can download that?

I'm NOT going back to DirectX 8.0 though...heard too much bad on it. I was able to get rid of 8.0 through the use of a utility called DirectX Buster (check my thread in GD if interested on that). So I'm back to DirectX 7.0 and going to stay there for a while until Microsuck gets their act together (maybe by the 22nd century...)

Once again, thanks for all the help. I'm going to try that when I get home tonight. I'll see if I can find a download site for Detonator 10.80.

Thanks,
