Hey thanks everyone

Timmy that's awesome, I'm gonna probably get back into it once I get a new joystick. Had no idea my MS Sidewinder Force Feedback was connected by a thin straw of plastic to the ball in the center. Or else I wouldn't have hit it so hard after getting bounced!

I got GWX 3.0 and I'm downloading it right now but I really wanna get my resolution up to speed to fully enjoy it. I tried the Res Fix but it's not working. Maybe I'll try it again once I install GWX. Here's my DxDiag info.

Let me know if you need more.

Oh, and I also downloaded the game from Steam. So I'm not really sure if adding the files to my steamapps folder location is okay or not.

I'd suggest (if it's not already too late) that you d/l the GWX3.0 files from my FF account (link above my sig) because there have been recent reports of faulty files from teh GWX website (click on my sig).

You have a choice of the 8 file (exe plus 7 bin files) or the equivalent in torrent format or the single file exe installation, again in torrent format.
