1. go to the windows update site -- there's an updated Savage4 driver.<br><br>2. try reinstalling DX8. I had a corrupt DX7 file once that was giving me absurdly low frame rates in OpenGL & it took me *weeks* to figure that out 'cause OpenGL & directX weren't supposed to affect each other much. <br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
