Interesting discovery... I might try that in a few weeks myself, and see if it makes a difference on my system... Of course, it will be AFTER I get the cpu fan in the HP beast changed... Still under warranty, and I cannot get ahold of HP to get it fixed... I keep getting the run-a-round... sigh - when I can get it to where I can once again run the game, I'll do a fresh install and update here. btw, this is not time wasted, but a case of "discovery"...
