Well hello again!

My head has been spinning through all these references ranging from DirectX versions, Catalyst versions, Driver versions. I'm going crazy already !!

Yes, the default click still has to be done. But after choosing the "post processing", the game is looking absolutely beautiful and getting very decent frame rates. And has been as solid as a rock!

Like my daddy used to tell me, " if it ain't broke, don't fix it" !

Thanks for those nice links, Jan ! I will use them at the library (where I do my heavier downloading). I gotta get the 1.4 patch for the game first. I went to "add and remove" and did not get to see a "repair". I'm sure I will find it!

The post processing doesn't seem to create a grainy effect on my machine. Also, right now, I have the fog turned off. It's the Environmental effects that creates some jerky lag. I still don't understand what the grainy effect is. I'll run it longer with the environmental effects turned on. I'll go read that "grainy fix thread". Thanks all you guys for the help!

I noticed that the thread was from May 2007, (maybe that was for the V1 version)? Mine is V1.2. Maybe it was fixed?
