Thanks, but then again, I still can't solve the problem, so I'll have to run it in 1600X 1200 resolution forever. (which is actually very good) then again, in 1600x 1200 resolution, I have to press "s" to show fps before the frame rates shoot up to 80 fps! Or else they'll still remain at 2! can the screensaver have a feature to enable "show framerates on startup" so that I can solve the problem without having to press "s" every time?
