I still think something got broke since the upgrade, before the upgrade I didn't have these problems. I have elected to wait for a patch or Nvidia to put out a good driver. I got tired of fighting it for now. My system specs are AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual core 4600+ Vista Home Premium 32 Bit with SP1, 2048MB Ram,8800 GTX video card, Dynex 500 Watt Power supply.
Wait a minute, I have been seeing a pattern here....Vista + 8800GTX = Broken SH4 1.5. There is still a lot to ponder.

For instance a 500 watt power supply. Please go here and use this calculator to see if you have enough PSU to run an 8800GTX.

When I upgraded my Video Card I opted out of the 8800 series due to being mid-cycle in PC building, I just did not want to go out and get a new power supply for a computer that has 6 months left.

Look these things take time and patience, we will continue to plug away. Hope this helps.

Happy hunting!
