I've had some problems with the 3D Acceleration in Interceptor. For those of you with a Monster3D, which of the following do you select in the Setup screen for Interceptor?: (These are the three options I have available) 1. Primary Video Card-No 3D Acceleration 2. **Primary Display Driver-3D Enabled 3. 3DFX DirectX5 Driver I can select #1 and #3, but not #2 (I'm told that it's not a 3D device). Basically, my question is this: Is #3 the choice to make if a 3DFX card is installed? If so, what is #2 for? And man, I've been around long enough to know that Microprose isn't nearly what it used to be, but I thought they'd at least include some decent help files. All I've been able to find (in the game files after installation and on the CD) is a Readme. Am I missing something? I couldn't even find any info in the manual that came with the game (on the display adapter issue). the website's just as bad. Thanks for your help, Frank
