I just installe XP Pro. I reinstalled OFP, And installed  the Gold upgrade. I then installed 1.46. All my drivers are up 2 date. When running OFP on XP i get these problems. 2 mouse pointers. No matter where in the game. I have 2 mouse pointers. And the one is always slower than the other. Very very irratating. Constant 2 second graphic pulse. Meaning every 2 seconds the graphics will glitch real quick. Like its a cd with a tiny scratch all the way across. Along with the graphics, You can hear in the sound a snap sound when this happens. Im assuming one is caused by the other. I turned everything off that could be, changed the graphic settings and so on. No change. When I Had OFP installed on 98SE I had not 1 single problem. I also just installed everything again on another system of the same exact specs but with 98SE. Not a single problem. I was thinking it was caused buy the 1.46. If it is, its not causing it on 98SE only on my XP system. Note:   The Mouse pointer issue happened before 1.46 on the XP system, But the graphic glitch did not. After installing 1.46 on the XP system is when that started happening.

Shouldnt have spoke so soon. Problems back. This time, I tested deeper. This test makes me think of somthing that happened when OFP first cam out. I had to replace a stick of Ram that I had just payd for. This happened all the same day I installed OFP when it was first released. I thought then that it was just a coincadence. Well,,I scanned my memory again. Today. Again, I just reinstalled OFP. I have a stick of Bad 256 DDR 2100. This game is starting to scare me, Thank god for the life time warenties. And thankfully I had 2 sticks of 256. But this doesnt explain why I have 2 mouse pointers. Again. I am going to try somthing. Im going to get a new DDR chip tonight. Im totaly uninstalling OFP. Im going to reinstall it after i put the new chip in. Lets see if this turns into fact instead of Coincadence. :angry:

Through searching for the problem, I found it. I had the Real one beta installed. It was conflicting with another program. Even tho it was not running, it was causing a problem with my memory. Its uninstalled now and all files removed. Not 1 single problem with OFP now. Freakin real player.
