Hi Bounder,

The game itself actually runs fine, once it's loaded (my card actually has 320mb, so even less!). It's just the fact the game takes so incredibly long to initialise that I'm trying to fix : ) As I mentioned, it takes upwards of five minutes to even reach the menu from the desktop - there must be something odd going on here. I wonder if it is anything to do with the OS?

I would move to Vista, or 7, but I just can't get on with the interface - using my PC mostly for work, the way folders and the basic organisational side of the OS has changed for Vista and 7 (to start with, the lack of an up arrow for going up a directory in folders) puts me off - I just can't work as efficiently on Vista as on XP (not that I haven't tried - I have a laptop that runs Vista), and so I've stuck with, and am planning on sticking with XP for as long as I can manage
