Hi Tzafrir Thanks for the idea. After creating a new user the same problems still apply. My suspicions are further endorsed that this may be a machine issue, only because on my old machine running testing (through Lenny and Squeeze), the game played fine. Now I can't even get the Lenny version to work properly. But what would be the issue on my machine that would lead to these kinds of problems I wonder? Thanks for any further thoughts/ suggestions. Cheers AG

As for helping out, I'd be happy to - but I really don't know what help I could be: I couldn't code, but am very happy to test it and work through bugs, etc., but that's about as far as I think that I could help.
