It has something to do with the graphics card. I do not know why, but most people (even with better graphics card than mine) cannot turn Mip Mapping on High, where I can easily without any problems...<P>------------------<BR>A Jedi seeks for knowledge, a master possesses it!<BR><A HREF="http://swguide.cjb.net" TARGET=_blank>The Star Wars Guide to the Galaxy</A><BR>The home of a masters knowlegde!
