OK ... so it's a technology issue ... what can we do about it?  There are
some Zero Hour games that flat out are worthless to play because the game
comes to a near halt!!!!  That's ridiculous!

I've tried new display drivers, talked to tech support, reduced my
resolution to minimum, reduced my detail to low ... nothing helps.

It's a cool game, but if you can play it, it ain't worth shit!
