Really that seems like a good fix to the problem to the bug thou I do have
one problem with it im kinda stuck using Vista for now it seems my funs do
not allow me to buy a new OS to try out and see whats the bug is. Thou I have
seen reports on xp doing the same thing just thought someone that might have
gotten the same bug might have a fix for this issue seeing how many other
people had this card before I got it. Thanks for the thoughts thou
