Alright, here we go. I'm running a Geforce 4 Ti 4600, I'm running the drivers 4403 'cause I don't want to jump up into FX drivers for a Ti...I get a better benchmark with these and all of the newer games enjoy them just fine. :) My MONITOR...now there's my problem, I know, lol, it's a 15" Packard Bell I got with my very first computer, it's Max refresh rate is 60Hz period...and if any games kick me over that, I get the mostly black screen with a reeeeeally distorted image of something from the game in the background, same as I got from Warcraft III...lol. As for Desktop Res, I already tried it in 800x600 and that's the lowest I can go...I've tried kicking XP pro into backwards compat mode for Emperor and that still doesn't help, tried to force it to run in 640x480 in hopes it would drop the bandwidth for the monitor, but no luck. So unless you guys have any other ideas, chances are I'm gonna just have to sit around and wait 'til I can get another monitor. If you do have any other suggestions, feel free to post 'em up here, and if you'd like a DxDiag or somethin', just ask. Also, another little question, I'm picking up a 5900 pretty soon, it's on order...I'm not entirely sure how old Emperor is, will it have trouble with newer cards you think? I still play old SSI games, so I know I'm boned there, I just want to know whether I should stick with my Ti 4600 'til after I'm done with Dune?
