Yea - I was starting to think it's a video card / driver issue.  I 
wasn't sure if it was because of the dual monitors and the fact that 
it's played in full screen windowed mode, so I can do separate things on 
each monitor or not, until I questioned other guildies who are having 
the same issue.  Maybe a video driver?  Curious...You say your wife has 
a newer card?  Is it a different brand than yours?  (ie Nvidia vs ATI 
radeon) Might just come down to something there....
