LoneStarHero, I have exactly the machine you have (except that i have 2 gig ram instead of 1 gig) and all i had to do was go to an older set of drivers (mind you that was pre-1.09) have not tried the newest video drivers with 1.52. I have noticed significant performance improvements with...

Didn't I already say that? Corey

Yes buy more RAM -- Windows XP performs better with more than 512MB

without admin rights you cannot install the game on the pc. Besides if you are located in the US, it is grounds for dismissal. There has also been reports of people actually being sued by companies for doing so. I am guessing that your work PC is actually a laptop that you are taking...

I can honestly say that your problem has nothing to do with the .Net framework (be it 1.1 or 2.0). What you are experiencing is related to video issues, but not necessarily the fault of the video card. Monitors display no signal messages under the following circumstances. 1. There is...
