thanks CaptainKobuk, i to am to lazy to stop playing to fix the problems. i just don't look at burning ships up close. i burned IuB off and then missed it and loaded it back on. But i did go back into it and restored many sh3 default settings. but i have to buy an all new pc anyway so that i can play the new Elder Scrolls Obliv. and when i do that my sh3 video troubles will cease.
