Well, although I've had no reboots, I haven't experienced much improvement. I did try MI4 without sound, and IIRC the video did NOT skip then. But as soon as I installed the drivers (lw3drv.exe) dated July 11th, the problem returns. Setting AGP to 1x using Creative's AGP Wizard yielded no results (except that the machine hung on my first attempt). I suspect a new motherboard is the way I'm heading as well. First generation Athlon motherboard from Asus spells trouble with these things. OTOH; SP2 from MS is believed to address some AGP chipset issues, so I hope it'll work some wonders for me as well. -- Rune -- Rune

Quote: Originally posted by Cynan: Hey.. I figured it out !! I uninstalled the SB drivers, and then turned down the graphics cards accelerated features (under the troubleshooing section on the graphics cards properties page). Next step to install the latest Live!Ware drives and see if it still works ok. Did you really have to turn down the graphic acceleration? What's the date on those latest LiveWare drivers? (and do you need the entire LiveWare, or just the drivers?) -- Rune

Is anyone able to watch the intro properly? When I play the opening sequence, both sound and video skips. It's almost as if the sound subsystem tries to catch up, and then the video decides it needs to catch up, and so on... It plays just fine under Win98. :-( (both full installations) AMD K7-650, TNT2Ultra, 192MB RAM, SBLive! and SCSI drives. I've tried NVidia driver version 6.31, 6.47 and 6.49. -- Rune
