... Well, I'm not a man who works on the project, but I'm pretty sure I know the answer. The problem probably is, as you thought yourself, your graphic card...
Cheers, Marko- Hum. I *wish* I could afford to buy a new PC outright! To hear everyone who has got WotS to run- it's heartbreaking... Now for another...
