I want to let you know that I updated my BIOS (it's been 14 months since I got this computer, new) and all of my video problems with the game have gone away! Still have some minor problems with my desktop screen but I think there's a screw loose. Yeah, I know, "especially the one on the keyboard!" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I think the outdated BIOS may have caused part of my .tmp corrupt files problem. Found out by using the Windows troubleshooting guide and talking to my computer dealer (builder.
If anyone else has video frequently going bonkers during game play, they might investigate BIOS update as a possible solution.
Hope this is useful for others. Best wishes SerAris
