Well, I went thru your suggestings which I did see before making a post but I didn't think it applied to my situation. After doing the first one, (well to rephrase, trying to do the first one Direct 3d etc...) I opened Limewire and the graphic problem was gone. BUT I DIDN"T DO ANYTHING I was just reading the options??? I'll give it a go again tomorrow to see if all is still good.

Thanks again Lord, or I guess it's Lord of the Rings
