It turns out that my BIOS had changed from the factory defaults and when I
restored them my G460 works great in opengl and everything else. Diamond was
especially helpful even though they could not help me directly and I found
the solution through luck. I appreciate the many responses I got and I assure
you no matter how strange I tried every solution. Hope in some twisted way
this may help someone. The only suggestion I have is keep posting (and play
with your BIOS settings)



I also tried Age of Empires and played for 15 mins no problem. Don't have
motoracer... sorry.
