I should have mentioned this before: The degree of pixelation is not constant. The longer I play the worse it gets. Rebooting doesn't help. Sometimes waiting a week does. Pixelation comes in spurts. I'm in the middle of a spurt that was preceeded by a long period of good video. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Pessimist: The glass is half empty. Optimist: The glass is half full.
