Hey, guys --

I have a vexing problem that has completely evaded my attempts to solve it. I'll explain & hopefully you can suggest a solution.

Last week, I had to take my PC into our univ.'s computer center, in order for a retail version of Symantec's Norton anti-virus program to be scrubbed from it & replaced with a corporate version that can be updated. Apparently, you can't just "remove" Norton anti-virus like you would any other program, because it sinks its tentacles VERY deeply into the Windows program registry. Anyway, before this "sanitizing" operation was performed, my 3-D driver games like OOTP6 were performing normally. After the operation, however, OOTP wouldn't run in 3-D mode and my other 3-D games wouldn't run at all! I have looked everywhere for the problem -- in dxdiag, for example, where the 3-D diagnostic showed that everything was just fine. I tried calling the computer center, and they couldn't help. So in my final hour of total desperation I turn to you to see if anything possibilities come to mind.

Obscure, huh? Can you offer a glimmer of hope?
Thanks
