Ms. Moofers and everyone else,
Try updating your video card drivers as was suggested...first.
If you don't know what video card you have in your computer, there are a couple of ways to find out.
1. You could download a program called Belarc Advisor, which is free, which will tell you a lot about your computer...including what hardware is installed. You can find the program here:
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
2. Or you can look on your computer in the Device Manager to see what is installed. The steps are:
• Click on Start then select Control Panel
• Double Click on System and then Click on Hardware tab at the top.
• Click on Device Manager
• Click on the small + next to Display adapters
• Write down what is listed there.
• Close the Device Manager
Now go to Google.com and enter what you found in the search window and hit enter. From the results listed, find the website that matches the manufacturer of the video card...don't go to the other websites as you may get a bad or virus-infected video driver...go only to the original manufacturer's website. Radeon is made by ATI.
In the manufacturer's website, you can choose Drivers section. In that section, they want you to select your type of video card and what Operating System you use. On the page listing the latest version of the drivers, you will also find instructions on how to update your drivers on your computer. I suggest you print those out and follow them to the letter!
I hope all this helps you get back into testing the game. I had 3 days of withdrawl symptoms...I can't imagine a week's worth! -)
