Thanks for that advice... I was wondering about the limitations being a 32 bit app.

We were thinking some of the same things about the video.
I had a tech put me on a different login with admin priv. due to requirements to get my M$ Outlook connected among other things.
An error log my brother was looking at eluded to the fact that something was denied some type of privileges when MoI crashed.
I plan on uninstalling and re-installing the INVIDIA driver in the morning to rule that out.

If it was a hardware problem the vid card blackouts (2 of them) would have happened when I was taxing my system... hard to tell at this stage.
But yes... that model is a stresser for MoI under any circumstances.
