I upgraded my motherboard recently. And before, I had no problems at all running System Shock, now I get all sorts of freaky stuff happening. The wall graphics stretch and distort occasionally. Especially after trucking down a hall with the speed skates on. The wall graphics bend and tilt. It's rather hard to explain, but that's the best I can do. ;) Whenever I die w/o the regeneration bay switch thrown (so when you die, it's game over), it almost always crashes with a 'page fault' error. Only once out of five times has it worked. Now for the Really Wierd Thing: Invincible Mutants. Every now and again (happened thrice so far), a humanoid mutant will become completely invincible. And it spits out 'no damage' messages as if I had the hardware to detect damage, which I don't. I don't know what's wrong, since I didnt have these problems on the old motherboard. Something might be tweaky with the board itself, since it doesn't like playing .MOD sound files, either... <Shrug> Any help would be really appriciated. ;) Thanks! -- o o "Nothing inspires forgiveness O- Gr...@Eskimo.Com -O quite like revenge." / > /< -Dogbert
