    So it's not OS specific

    One Big Problem Now solved

    Best bet - the refrtesh rate is set wrong. BD, go to Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced/Display adapter and see where the refresh rate is set. If there are settings for optimal and adapyter default, try both of those and see if it helps.

    Huge!

    Went through some of the pics a couple days ago. My Mom was looking over my shoulder when I was going through the WTC folder. Had her in tears again. She sends hugs your way, Huge. Only thing better than Mom hugs are Wife hugs. If I wasn't careful I could get jealous.

    The Secret World of Triangle Rendering Technology

    If Nvidia doesn't get the NV30 out in time for Christmas (read:next week), their market share IS going to take a hit. Between Nvidia and AMD, I'm starting to wonder when anyone is going to do a timely release that isn't vaporware.
