Hey Michael, sorry I forgot to mention that I had tried that after you suggested it to me in a previous thread.
everything is default settings and the mesh angle was never changed.

but I just noticed that if I restart my computer and quickly open Moi as soon as the start up process allows me the
software is running smoothly for a few moments and then begins to go choppy again.

I seem to remember you saying that moi uses the operating system for its graphics and not the video card.
if so could this be a operating system issue Im having?

I really don't want to run a reinstall of the os...
