Yeah - I tried that first. No joy.

It seems to me that this problem only occurs in games using the Unreal
engine (Sin uses the Unreal engine doesn't it ?). So - could this be because
the Unreal 2.17 patch is flaky, and Sin demo uses some of the same shared
files ?

Does anyone know how to test my OpenGL subsystem ? Without using games (I
will try it with Quake2 next week after I get my Q2 CD back from a friend).
As I mentioned, the WinTune98 OpenGL test run fine....
