When you uninstall the video drivers, do you make sure all the files are gone? Did you use the Detonator Destroyer or the equivelant for ATI?

What version of Direct X?
Try turning down AA or FSAA.

I saw a show on this not to long ago. It's been proven that women are the worst for this as they talk more on the phone while pumping gas and it has to do with the static electricity in the phone and the carpet in the car or the car seat.

He's right roid. The middle east is populated by warriors who have no education and who are brainwashed by the leaders. They take the people from small towns 200km out in the desert and train them at a young age and convince them that the bible they talk about is the right one.
