For all the TnL-less people... I feel your pain. I have the same *&%*&^%$^ issue on my brand new laptop. All I can do right now is wail, gnash my teeth, kick things and try and save up for some upgrades on my desktop system...
... or get my jaw all set and save up even more to break down and build my own plarkin' new machine. Which I've been thinking of doing anyway. But haven't wanted to do because I'm a big ol' chicken and am not yet that hardware-savvy.
What a thing to have to delurk about, huh? ::sobs on shoulder of random person::
