Thanks, works like a champ now.
Now all I have left to do is figure out why I'm not getting the performance out of my graphics card I expected! It's a MSI Radeon R7770 DDR5 and I'm getting about 10 more frames per second than I was getting with a 5570.

Re: WIN 7 Question
Did the card come with a bench mark program?

DOHT! What is a benchmark program? LOL
There is a program where I can go in and do things, like overclock the card. Is that it?

Re: WIN 7 Question
It is a program that rates your video card against the most demanding games currently on the market.

Usually this type of software comes with a video card.

Re: WIN 7 Question
I updated his system with the most current drivers for his system. I had to leave so I am not sure if it made any improvement.
Also I did some test with DFX2 and Fraps.
Fraps will generally give you the real count of FPS. Where nvidia doesn't always report it correctly.
I get about 140 to 145 reported by DFX2.
Fraps reports it around 190 to 200.
So I see about a 40fps difference between the two programs reporting fps.
So you might be getting way more then you think Bubba.
