I have both installed and running great.  I discovered that the newest 81.85 
drivers offer me a weird problem I can't get around.  Had to load a restore 
point and put 77.77 drivers back on.   I have both Paint Shop Pro 8 and X 
installed and neither would display or even show on the taskbar when 
running, both showed in taskmanager tho.  Neither would uninstall either 
(the .exe is loaded for that process).  SO, with 77.77's in, I am playing 
both Quake 4 and FEAR quite well.  In fact, FEAR plays exceptionally well. 
But what's the point of the game?  Q4 we understand :)   FEAR I do not. 
It's 'just another shooter' to me, so far.

FEAR was created that way.  You are not supposed to really know what's 
happening.

It's obviously on rails too, so I'll just let it railroad me into whatever 
just to see what happens :)
