anyway, thanks for all the help XD I learned quite a bit about my computer in the process.

Your never going to believe how easy that was to fix......


COPY the game files from 'program files'

PASTE the entire folder into 'C:/'

that gets rid of the access violation.

Anyway, Time to get to some gaming.

The option is still not available. It may be because my computer is a 'custom' build from Xotic and their software could be proprietary.

Unfortunetly my system doesn't give me that option in the nVidia control panel.

I think I may just be one of the few who can't run this game.
