Well, I had the latest patch, but after hearing that someone else had visual studio and was suffering no ill effects, I got the courage to do what I should have done in the first place -- reinstall. Now I am problem free and it's much more fun to play the game.
Thank you to both of you for taking the time to answer me.
Happy Gaming. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
