I could use a little help.

Glad you got it working Tireboy, drivers would have been the 2nd place i headed. Gameshadow and windows update are always trying to get me to upgrade to ati7.1's but since i have a 9200 card the 6.11's are the latest that ati supports my card.

i suggested the refresh rate since i play several other games where the quickest refresh rate plays the smoothest and i've seen that error message on more than 1 occasion when i forgot to slow my monitor back down lol

Thanks for the warm welcome, and for the help. So far so good, (running with the 7.6 drivers), but we’ll see what tonight brings. If there are any changes I’ll post it, either to ask for help, or just incase someone else runs into the same trouble.

Woohoo! TB, my man. Glad to see you step out of the sub pen shadows. The warm reception is typical of these forums and the folks' willingness to help is legendary. Maybe you and I can give multiplayer a whirl. (TB and I have been flying online for years, he got me started on SH3).

Lol, yessir, in fact we made our first foray into SH3 multiplayer last night. I got my kaeun's cap handed to me numerous times, but we both learned a lot and were impressed by the stability of the game through ubi.

Incidentally, the ATI driver problem that prompted this thread appears to be fairly pervasive and especially so for the AGP variety of the HD2600 card he's using. This I found from perusing the forums at rage3D, so it looks like ATI has dropped the driver ball yet again. ATI has always had pretty good hardware, but were short on driver support from time to time. They got better for awhile, but it looks like they're going to have a hard road trying to catch back up to Nvidia. I was in hopes their acquisition by AMD might herald a turnaround in driver support, but it hasn't materialized as yet.

More or less the same reasons I left ATI and went over to Nvidia for
