Thanks for the reply, Undesirable. I'm willing to try limiting the memory, but before I go plopping in new parameters, at what amount would you recommend I set it at? Does it matter what amount I set it, such as if I lowered the max. mem. by 100mb, is that sufficient and safe to do?

Thanks for your time and hand-holding.

In answer to your question, if your suggestion on page one was to lower the max. mem. to 3g, I onlly have 3gigs of ram, so I didn't think that it was necessary, but as I posted above I'm willing to try it if it might help.

I'm also hearing some audio anomolies that could be slowing things down a bit, and Raze gave me a suggestion that I lower the acceleration. But I was unable to find where to lower this value, as it didn't show up in the dxdiag display where he suggested.
