Burnout problem??

Hi, After first installing the game and running it immediately after installing, everything works just great and I really enjoy it. However, after rebooting and every subsequent time after that, whenever I start the game, the main menu's sounds are very choppy and broken and the mouse movements are very erratic. Then, when I enter the garage, the screen is not fullsized, and the sounds and mouse movements are still very choppy. All of these problems occur, though, only after rebooting after the initial install. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, how did you remedy it? I emailed Bethesda support and they told me it may have something to do with my Pure3d vid card, but that's all they could come up with. I've tried it several times installing the 1.23 patch right after installing, right after rebooting, and neither seem to have any affect on this particular problem. Please help!!! Here's my specs: 233mmx 64 sd ram pure3d 1 velocity 128 awe64 value isa Thank you greatly if you can help me! Jason Glushyk
It does sound like Bethesda may be right onthis issue. You say your screen downsizes itself? Burnout will automatically do that when the framerates drop low. If your Vid card is causing a problem there, then it will slow down the entire game, sound too. The only thing i can think of as well is a possible upgrade of some parts. Also, make sure you have all the programs close inthe background. CTRL-ALT-DEL to see what you have running. One of those may be trying to accomplish something while you are in the game. Im still guessing really though. >Hi, >After first installing the game and running it immediately after installing,
