Sorry, I read "Right-click on the desktop" as "Right-click on the icon". It's been a long 72 hours - getting these bugs chased down, trying to implement the clock/calendar/logo system, and creating the new website.

That system might be off the bottom end of the chart, but I've got a weak old Sony Vaio that still runs MA3 at about 20 FPS. How much video RAM does your card have?

Oh, 32MB - which is only half of the "minimum spec". In my experience, that isn't a killer issue - it just makes performance really "inhale briskly".

However, tomorrow I'll try to dig up some old video card(s) to try in the machine to see what happens.

Note 1: My suggestions are really aimed at "if it isn't going to work, then don't run".

Note 2: This is of course NOT a FIRST-priority issue. But I think it needs to be sorted out before a "production version" is declared.

Note 3: There's also a related installer issue - which I will tackle in the Installer thread.
