I am back with more auto targeting problems

I had two hits, packed my bags and flew to NYC where I am visiting my son, and I have not played since. I return hom tonight and will test it again, but I think the problem may have been my computer hardware. All of your comments were great and are appreciated. They will serve me well in the coming weeks. Thanks. I'm goin' down should not be goin' doiwn as quickly in the future.

thats great to hear,

but with it still working and the only problem was seeing some funny colors sounds strange, was it a bad connection thing or just loose plug?

to make a long story short, the computer was set up with no screws. Parts were smapped into place. According to the repairman, that created a problem with parts not being fixed solidly into place. The video card, therefore, could move. Also, there was a probability that the adapter was defective or failing. He tossed all of the clips and screwed all parts that were clipped to the back of the computer frame into place. He gave me a new adapter. That seemed to do the trick, but if it doesn't he said I will have to change the video card. I just returned from out of town, and I will test SH4 tomorrow to see if I have better luck.

Drat I was going to tell him to try to re-seat the video card... too late :rotfl:

Smapping cards into place can be risky.
