was gonna ask if u did an OS reinstall first. but ya answered in the other thread.

I didn't uninstall DX9.0c first. I just reinstalled it. The game worked after doing that.

Oddly enough the only game i can think of that uses non-standard DX9 is RTW. Wonder if it's related. At least i recall RTW installin some codecs or some such for DX9.

Huh, I'm using an X800 Pro and it's running just fine. I'm using the Catalyst 5.9 drivers, btw.

I'm on an X800 XT and it's smooth as glass. Anyone having problems, I suggest you try differing levels of AF and FSAA and re-install dx 9.0c out of the dx directory on the install disk. I'm pretty sure the problem is related to that or what Morrowind mentioned above - (sorry just noticed the first post) didn't even read the other posts.

--- oh - and make sure you reboot.
