What sound card do you have?
Is it onboard sound or a separate sound card?

| Deleted User | Thanks Jenny.
I have to assume it is onboard.
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3L intel p45 chipset ATX form factor 1xPCI-E(x16)/4xPCI-E(x1)/2xpci/4xddr2 w/sata2,dual lan(gb),usb 2.0 & audio (cpu type:intel - socket 775) ($15 Mail-In Manufacturer Rebate Available from 12/1/08 till 12/31/0CPU OPTIONS
I did go ahead and tried to reduce video acceleration but the change settings button is grayed out and the message says: “Your current display driver does not allow changes to be made to hardware acceleration settings.” :-?

What OS are you running? Vista and above don't allow you to adjust the video acceleration settings.

| Deleted User | OK, I guess that explains why it isn't accessible. I suppose I could copy the program to a DVD and load on the old Dell XP which still meets the system requirements. Heck, what’s the harm.

| Deleted User | I haven't given this much of any thought during the past three weeks, but for some reason my attention was drawn to the desktop icon thinking that perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to give it another look. You can probably guess what I’m going to say but for the record and with no explanation whatsoever, the demo runs perfectly normal now without the presence of any of the problems first mentioned.
I believe there might be a specific term for this type of problem resolution; either that or I will have to conjure one up.
Guess I’m back on track and able to focus once again on pre-order options. 8-)
