Thanks for hitting this list back so much. Ok, I'm back to thinking it's something with my system since the screensaver which is graphic intensive is displaying with a very slow frame rate as well. My harddrive is almost full also...
Heh heh, of cousre I maent seems!! Anway after I wrote the message, the frame rate was back to crappy. A friend suggested the video card might be loose. I checked and not only was it loose, the fan on the side of it was kinda blocked from another card. DOH! DOH!
