Great that you posted back after updating the drivers, and nice to hear it solved the problem.

Yes, thanks for letting us know that the new drivers dixed the problem. This is often the case.

i think that i have a little problem with vista (or perhaps with this poor graphic gpu), which is not the fault of MA3, sometimes, there is little "saccades" which block the fishes 1/5th seconde... i have the same on a game and not on other games (why i don't know). perhaps vsync which seems to be more difficult to be perfect on vista computers than on xp computers... so for people who hav a "good" cpu but a vista and 965 and wide screen, download last intel drivers (12/2008), modify vista params in order to avoid indexation and others HD consumers and you will have MA3 at 40 im/s which is very good for such a gpu, thanks Jim
