TheEnigmaticT: On the odd side, something weird seems to have happened to my GFX card, and I can't play any 3d games anymore. :(
Oh, well. There's always Jagged Alliance. :P
TVs_Frank: Try installing new drivers?
Also, did your desktop change resolution?
I have a laptop with a hybrid ATI Radeon and Intel integrated graphics card; about two months ago it was fine at playing through Red Faction: Armageddon, and though I've changed nothing it runs about 6 fps (and abut 1/3rd speed) when I boot Armageddon--or anything else. It seems that the Radeon no longer works at all. ?.?
I'll ask the Support guys for help on Tuesday when we're back in the office. I'm not above abusing my powers. :P
JMich: This is why you don't mess with flags regulating turn based state.
Dude. That is crazy.
