Regardless of my video settings I am getting 20 - 40 FPS. I have a
Creative Audigy 2 ZS and ATIX800XL on a NFORCE 2 board in a shuttle
box.

I'll try disabling the Creative card tonight to see if that helps
And I saw in another thread where someone installed the August
released 9.0c Direct X. I would of thought that Vista would have had
the latest DX.

Are there any MS employees monitoring their newsgroup?

Any other ideas to fix the problem. I have a feeling Creative is
causing some issues because people in ventrillo sound like they have
robot voices.
