All,

Called IKARUS USA earlier today. They informed me that many of the desktop computers that have integrated video will not work. I looked at my specs on my PC a little closer and found that my graphics card, that is integrated, has 64MB's of shared video RAM, but dedicated RAM for graphics. That being said, he let me know this definitely was the issue. Even though it supports OpenGL, it still needs a better graphics card or it won't even load.

I went out and purchased one of the recommended cards--the ATI Radeon 9550 with 256MBs of RAM, plugged it in, installed the drives, and it runs great even at the highest resolution. Frame rates were between 150 and 200. Great looking graphics and the planes seem to respond as they should--seems very realistic.

Thanks,

Gerry
