Hiya,
I am not actully on the mac, ia m on the Dell inspiron 9100, i dont own a mac (yet)
THQ the manufacturer of the game dont make any hardware as far as i know, and it has run well before. I had some ideas a few days ago, so i might update the post with the new ideas.
I dont think that wile running games the browser really make much different. naturally i am using firefox so i dont think it is causing the problem.
thanks for you help
Jamie

Accessibility, the process of making you site accessible to all, site statistics are not the defining factor, but doing things the right way. Well, we are lucky that in most cases accessibility and web standards go hand in hand but what about when they don’t?
Is there a disability which million of people worldwide have which wont benefit from liberal application of web standards? I think there is, its called Internet Explorer 6.
