Hey there Speedbird, If you haven't gone to Black Vipers site to get some
tweaks for XP then do yourself a favour and go there. The guy is a whip and
tells you a heap of resource saving ideas with XP, how to turn off
unneccessary stuff running in the background and the like. The site is well
designed and has screen shots to show you step by step how to do things,
which are pretty basic but great to know. Just type Black Vipers XP tweaks
into Google and off you go. Well worth the trouble.

I'll check it out. Thanks. I actually made a couple of shorter flights without incident.

Wasn't the graphics card. Was one of the Win XP updates that MS so graciously installed
automatically. Went in and removed the updates and now works peachy.
