Is your game run from a compressed drive then?

Aye! A fortnight ago I had unchecked the box along which is stated: "Compress drive to save disk space".
The result was a graphics glitch, but only on an updated 1.4b stock SH3.
I re-checked said box yesterday evening and the glitch vanished.
As regards loading time, since installing 1.53 Gb RAM and a Radeon HD 2600 Pro AGP video card, the game loads up at breathtaking spead when compared to the time taken when I had 512 Gb anda Radeon 9550 card.
I am now running on a compressed D drive and churning across the North Sea bound for the coastal waters of Perfidious Albion.
Update February 14th 2008
It came back - the glitch that is - when I restarted my mission the following day.
I hit ctrl-alt+delete, left clicked "my computer", right clicked the icon to get "options" and de-checked the compress drive option. Back to the game. The problem had gone. So then I realised that it couldn't be the compress option that's the cause: the fault went when I decompressed, returned, and went gain when I compressed.
I saved the game, rebooted and reloaded the mission. The glitch was there again. So this time I hit ctrl+alt+delete but then returned to the game without adjusting D drive compression: the fault had gone.
This happens all the time now: when I load, the fault appears; I switch off the picture by bringing in the task manager, do not use the latter and switch it off, and return to the game; the fault has gone.
There is something amiss in my display, but what it is I just cannot fathom out... and it
BUGS ME!!!!
