Im not in software mode, I have it set for GL and my maxfps is set at
the default of 90. I can tell its in GL mode because the graphics look
good they are just slow. It is easy to tell when its in software mode
becasue of the poor quality of the graphics. I have the latest drivers
for my video card from the ATI site too.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

JT
