1. Make sure you have latest version of DirectX (shouldn't you always have that?) ->
www.microsoft.com/directx
2. Video card drivers as well, if you can't find the website post it and I can help you find the
website for that...
3. Windows Media Player latest - the 7.1 has some sound improvements over 7.0 ->
http://windowsmedia.com/download/download.asp

These should work if you try these steps, if they don't work, THEN email Roland... also, to
located your video card manufacture / type for the driver...
1. Press START button
2. Goto "Settings"
3. Then either hover over/click on "Control Panel"
4. Find and click "System"
5. Find "Device Manager" tab and click it
6. Click to expand the "Display adapters" item
7. Tell what the text is on that

Hope I can help on this...

I've got an ooooollllddddd card [no upgrading to another card possible at
present], and display mgr info is this:
Tseng Labs ET6000 / ET6100 PCI,
hardware version 048
4-23-1999
drivers vmm32.vxd

An attempt to upgrade the driver got the message that the best driver
available is already installed.

I'm using DX 7.0 (will have to wait til next month to dload 8, as am over
my ISP's monthly dload limit already, thanks to the AW upgrade).

I've changed the video tab setting in AW to Direct3d (from the software
renderer original setting), and that has improved the backdrops. Am now
checking on other problems.

Thanks for your help!
