Glad you got in touch with Rich. He will have an official answer for you! I avoid getting into those kinds of discussions. Just gets me away from either a. playing games, b. contacting my brigade members for the club, c. game design.
I leave the graphics issues to Rich and John. My answers would be just a guess and not accurate enough. And so would anyone else's here for that matter ...
I have seen two guys compare notes, think they had the same problem, guy went and did the same thing as the other guy and end up having to rebuild his system.
Using this forum as a tech support venue is like trusting your bosom buddy from High School. You end up in the pokey!
Yup, folks here have been helpful but I have wasted more time trying to sort through things that were just better left to Support.
