I installed a flight sim called fa/18 from a company called Xicat (mistake?). Now all OpenGL apps on my system are screwed up. They run at less than 1 frame per second. This includes FA/18, Racer, and GPL. I installed DX 8.1 and updated Nvidia drivers for the crappy GF2 MX card I'm using. What is the problem???? Thanks, Pat Dotson

The GF2 MX400 is probably the best sub $100 card on the planet. Uninstall the flight sim, and then re-install DX and your nVidia drivers.

GL setup didn't improve anything.

Did this, and it didn't help. Maybe I need to go back to DX 8.0? -- PD Biz wrote: > > The GF2 MX400 is probably the best sub $100 card on the planet.

Looks like that game just made you reinstall windows. :( Vintook "Pat Dotson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

You sure vsync isn't enabled? Lots of time when you've done what you describe, it defaults to on. -John Pat Dotson <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
