No, I cannot change all this in the drivers I use. I´ve tried the latest drivers from ATI which did have much more tweaks but then Toca2 couldn´t run anymore (yes chess is not the only leisure time program on my computer) so I changed back to the shipped drivers. I´m happy for the time being and when I´m in de mood I´ll experience with the latest driver from ATI. In the mean time I´m wondering if someone else with both an ATI Xpert99 and Fritz6a is having troubles like me. Ernst.
