slow response in fullscreen mode

It may well be that the drivers are not doing something correctly in full screen mode.

Difficult to tell really, unless you have another video card with manufacturer-supported drivers to install and test against.

Have you tried setting all sounds to OFF (include the windows click sound, switched in the game options launch program misc tab as well as the two sound types in the in-game options screen). If everything then perks up, something in these drivers does not do DirectShow properly - used to play MP3 sound streams here, not full movies.

Cheers

i do not notice a difference in speed when turning the sound off.
unfortunately, i don't have another graphics card to try (certainly wish i did, my card is circa 1997).
I have just been using the windowed mode with my desktop set near the resolution of the game window, and that is working OK for me.

ah, the sacrifices I have to endure....
anyways, i'll just use the windowed mode until i get my new machine

thanks for trying to help
