<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I was able to install the OpenGL drivers from the NVidia Website which improved the performance of the Nvidia cards. Before the drivers were installed I could run about 5 - 7 windows before freezing - now I have about 15-20 windows open with no hanging.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Unfortunately, we run AG-Ware on a seperate machine. Anyone else out</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>there have trouble with the latest release of the nvidia drivers (ver</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>28.32)? I can't seem to get them to 'stick' either. Also, what</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>versions of DirectX is everyone running?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks for all the help so far!</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Just a thought - you're not running the AGware software on the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> same machine are you? We do, and if we don't set the priority of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> AGware right down, it kills the performance of vic. (Someone</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> was kind enough to tell us the means of doing this - Task Manager,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Processes tab, right click on process, Set Priority, Low).</FONT>
