CMBB Graphics 'Jerky'

[Mad Baron]

The video graphics recently became jerky (not smooth, fluid), and scrolling around the map or selecting orders also have a slight time delay before they happen. I tired dumping and reloading the game and 3 patches, and it's still the same.

CMBO operates just fine.

Any ideas what might cause this with CMBB? (It is on an XP computer.)

I also wonder what the differences are when the game is first played after loading, when you have to select the video settings with Mhz, etc. I know it is a trial and error exercise. Once selected, that file can be deleted to try another setting...but that would be a LONG process. I simply ''accepted'' the very first option that appeared. I think that's the same way I always did it in the past. But what are the major differences between all the different options available?

Thanks in advance!
