I need to update a bit. I got very frustrated with the help offered and didn't think I could manage it. So I just quit the game for several months. Yesterday I got frustrated again, but with myself, and did all of the things recommended to configure the game. Mostly it was to turn off Mouse Accelerator, turned off godrays and shadows and texture optimization. Now the game works! I owe you all a big thanks for that! Yea! It seems to be going well and my only problem now is that I can't seem to take off my avatar's power suit. Looked in Help, which didn't. She can't sleep or use the workbenches with a power suit on. I'm sure this is going to be something obvious, but I can't seem to find it. Help would be appreciated. Thank you all - Gameboomers are the best.
