Thanks guys for all your ideas, as they seem to all point one way that is the way i've gone. GW with SH3 Commander, I tried the resolution patch but after that Sh3 wouldnt boot up so had to leave it out. Just completed my first patrol Only One damn Cargo which took up 3 out of my 4 torps never mind guess i'll get better with time. As to how i blew up my other machine, A very hot room, Overclocked Cards failing cooling system and a spilt pint of beer, makes things go bang quite well

I wont be doing that again in a hurry.
Thanks for the advice and if anyone else has any other ideas dont be a stranger.
