that didnt not help my problem but thanks anyway. i have that crappy ati xpress 200 video card so no matter what i try it just is not goning to work. i called lucasart and some @#$%^%$## told me that my pc is crap and i should upgrade it. which ticked me off to say the least. my specs are 1024 for ram 3.8 gig processor. with all the fancey bells and whistles. i asked about a patch or something he said that enough people have not complained about it and they are not going to do anything until they do.
