Thanks heaps, think I'll take your advice and fork out for a better video card. Glen

Thanks heaps guys, I'll try all of these suggestions.

I am a new CMBB owner and am loving the game as I did CMBO. I am having a huge problem with operation "To The Volga". Screen scrolling is jerky and slow and when I select a unit and an order, there is a lag between the time I click a destination and when the waypoint appears. This has been up to 20 seconds to move several units. Playing as the Germans I persevered and finished setting up and hit Go. The Computer Player Thinking bar then took up to 30 minutes to complete! The dark blue bar displayed behind the operation name is taking 15-20 minutes every turn and once the fighting actually starts it is also jerky and slow, making it hard to move across the battlefield. I have removed the third squad member, the building roofs and unit bases. As it is, this operation is unplayable. Now I know there are some serious numbers being crunched but this does not happen to the same extent in other operations and battles. My system is a Dell Dimension 2350 Pentium 4 2.4Gig with 512 Meg RAM and Intel Integrated Graphics (not the ideal card but works very well with even the most demanding shooters and other games), Windows XP Home and Direct X 9. I have all the latest drivers. My PC far exceeds the system requirements so I am feeling a little frustrated. Guys, are there any other steps I can take to get me on the way to the Volga?? Thanks Glen
